Hi Kevin.
You asked:
1-What are the immunity standards used in Europe for medical devices?
I think you'll find that the IEC601 covers all the EMC requirements as
well.
Sorry, can't help with US requirements.

All,
Thanks for the prompt responses. Seems I've uncovered a curiosity. My
browser still takes me to never-never-land.

I've never used wood within a fire enclosure, but have used it outside of
the fire enclosure in EN60950 products. TUV has imposed the relevant flame
tests of annex A. Our experience was that we could not meet A8 (substitute
for HB), due to the thickness requirements of the samples, but could
I have encountered ITE with UL, CSA and TUV certification that uses wood as
the interior frame and enclosure. One must demonstrate that it is impossible
for a fire to start and to invoke clause 1.4.1 of IEC 950.

I believe all ADSL and HDSL interfaces that use POTS wiring should meet the
safety requirements of a TNV-3 circuit.
At present, the FCC in Part 68 does not have any requirements for xDSL
equipment.

Hello Kazimier,
I just visited RCIC (with my non-graphical browser) and it's there per
usual. Perhaps the Domain Name Server you are using is confused. It
appears to still be at www.rcic.com

Can anyone tell me where the Regulatory Compliance Information Center has

Comments?

John, believe it or not I have seen wood used in ITE equipment. Obviously
it wasn't the fire enclosure. The test that I would apply comes from the
old UL TV standards(UL1419,1410,1270 etc.) which actually have an HB test
for wood used as an enclosure. If I remember right, they use a special
Never saw wood in ITE equipment . . . other than in the 'Pirates of Silicon
Valley' movie. The
first Apple was built out of wood. I don't suppose we'd find too much of
that these days.
Seems to me that there should also be a spec for 'long term' enclosure
stability
based on 'termite resistance'!

Do SDL modems need to meet all the part 68 specs? Or can they violate just
a little (and where) and obtain a waiver, but still be certified?

You are correct Peter. At this point in time that is how it is treated.
There is currently a draft proposal for the IEC 950 standards addressing
this type of circuit, which will be called an RFT Circuit (Remote Feeding
Telecommunications Circuit). The RFT will be divided up into 2 categories:
Dear All,
There is a UL 1950 PAG stating that hardwood or presswood of
substantial construction is accepted without flammability tests per Annex
A for products covered under UL1950.
The questions are:
1. What thickness is considered substatntial?
2. What other types of wood are considered

The standard valid now is IEC60571 that is nearly the same as the EN50155.
