EU Directive 92/58/EEC specifies the requirements for health and safety

Greetings,
I need to find a place to order the KSC 5858, Korean EMC Standard.
I have tried Global Engineering Documents, however they do not have it in
stock and are now charging a minimum $100 order. I would like to find an
alternate, and have heard others address this in the past.

John,
This panel contains the IEC Inlet and fuse for the system. This is of course
at a Hazardous voltage level as the system is rated for an input of 100-240
VAC. The wiring is close enough to the panel that if something came loose it
could conceivably touch the panel. We feel it is better to
I guess that one thing to keep in mind is that the PAG is exactly that...a
guideline based on interpretation, it is not the standard.
My opinion and not that of my employer.

Agree, our company only recently became VCCI registered. The reason, the
company we supply was already a member and required us to demonstrate
compliance.

I really didn't feel that I should pay for a subscription to the PAG's to
clarify points in the standard, until a situation arose where the UL
engineer on my project referred to a PAG note, and of course, I had to buy a
subscription to verify what I was being told. I still don't think it should
As a previous reply has suggested, but not in the same words,
surely one question that has to be considered is whether this hinged
panel is required to be earthed. The requirement in UL60950 2.6.1 a)
refers to accessible conductive parts that might assume a HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGE in the event of a
The definition of SELV in IEC 60950 contains no restrictions on energy;
rather, voltage is the only issue. A note in clause 1.2.8.6 indicates that
IEC364 has a different definition of SELV. Is SELV defined to include energy
restrictions in some other standards?

My understanding is that if anyone in the distribution chain is registered
with the VCCI, then they are obliged to distribute VCCI compliant products.
So you should check you distribution to chain,

VCCI registration is voluntary. You do not need it to sell in Japan. BUT like
so many other things, the VCCI mark is now seen as a sign of quality and you
may find it hard to sell products in Japan without the mark.

Serves me right for throwing out the old UL478 once our products were updated
to UL1950 and relying on memory as to what was inside 478!
