Re: SV: EMC test report

2002-04-25 Thread Dan Irish - Sun BOS Hardware

All,

Just last night, I was re-reading the procedures for
Verification (e.g. for Class A ITE) and Declaration of Conformity
(e.g. for Class B ITE.)

For products subject to Certification, refer to 47CFR2.938,
Retention of Records.

For products subject to Verification, refer to 47CFRF2.955,
Retention of Records.

For products subject to the Declaration of Conformity procedure,
refer to 47CRF2.1075, Retention of Records.

(To download, go to:

http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.html#page1

In the search terms field, type:

47CFR2 AND Retention

This will produce all three sections above, Part 2 in its entirety,
and 47CRF2 Subpart J--Equipment Authorization Procedures,
which defines the three procedures.

Regards,
Dan

 Hi All,
 
 Does FCC require that all that information be in the final report.
 Such as Product Manufacturer, Table of Contents, Equipment Units Tested,
 Equipment and Cable Configuration, List of Test Equipment( calibration
 data), Location of Test Site, Measurement Procedures, Reporting Measurement
 Data, Summary of Results...
 The reason I ask is that it states that Digital devices ..are to be
 measured for compliance using the following procedure... it doesn't say
 that it needs to be in the final summary.

General Product Safety Directive

2002-04-25 Thread richwoods

Let's take an example of a non-rechargable 9V battery operated ITE product
intended soley for business use; and due to its nature, it is highly
unlikely to be used by laymen outside that business environment (i.e., not
in the home). That product is not subject to the LVD, but it might be
subject to the GPSD depending upon scope of the term consumer. The GPSD
uses the word consumer without defining the term. What is the legal
meaning and scope of that term in the EU? Comments?

From: T.Sato vef00...@nifty.ne.jp

 # BTW, a good anti-virus solution is to stop using Microsoft Windows
 # (at least Microsoft's mailers)!  :-)

I suppress the preview pane for viewing the contents of my mail
and use only two panes, one for mail folders and the other for
the list of emails in the selected folder.

To check emails, I right click on the subject line of the email,
select Properties, select Details, then select Message Source.
That opens up the entire email in its own separate window to
include all header info and the entire message in the body.
I can read the message and check addresses without ever
opening up the mail.

I generally don't open any attachments unless I know the
person or have had the attachment checked.

There's a very easy way which costs nothing to have some
very complete and effective virus checking.  Go to any
one of the more high profile free email websites to open
an account.  I find they're very good at checking for virii.
Also, that way if you are anywhere which has web access,
you can keep up with any of your emails. And keep the
personal email account back home strictly for private personal
and discretionary communiqués.

Re: EMC and Class 2 equipment

2002-04-25 Thread Lou Aiken
This has been my experience with Class II switching power supplies.

The absence of the earth connection will make very little difference in the 
emissions.

But, without the earth connection the leakage current requirement is much 
lower.  (For ITE, 3.5mA is allowed for Class I, but only 0.25mA is allowed for 
Class II equipment ).

Therefore to meet the 0.25mA leakage current limit the cap value must be 
reduced.  With the cap value reduced the power supply will no longer meet the 
conducted emission limits.
  
Then to reduce the conducted emissions, the common mode choke inductance must 
be increased. 

I am only a product safety person with very little EMC experience , but it 
seems be a simple voltage divider issue.

With these changes the power supply can meet the conducted emissions and also 
the leakage current limit.

Therefore, the desire for a class II switching power supply must be great 
enough to justify the increased cost and physical size of the common  mode 
choke.

But I have gotten several of them through world wide safety approvals.  

A final word:  I recommend that you NOT try to modify an existing Class I 
design to meet the Class II leakage current and EMC requirements.

  Subject: EMC and Class 2 equipment



  Hi all,

  Ground connections is usually nice to have when dealing with EMC. But what
  about EMC and a class 2 (double insulation) power supply (shall comply with
  MIL-STD-461E)  . I'm thinking on, what to do with the regularly Y-caps,
  does it really have any meaning with these caps when ground is absent?

  Best regards
  Amund Westin, Oslo/Norway

Re: DSSS WLAN for Australia

2002-04-25 Thread Fred Borda

Hi Desmond,

Conformity assessment in Australia is via declaration of conformity and 
supporting compliance folder. There is no approval to be applied for. The 
compliance folder should include a copy of the Part 15.247 report, among 
other things.


The C-tick is required on this kind of WLAN device, and the Supplier Code 
Number (SCN) that accompanies the mark on the label is what will link the 
product to the responsible party in Australia for ACA enforcement. If the 
manufacturer is not an Australian company that role of responsible party is 
filled by an agent in Australia. It would be the agent's SCN appearing on 
the label, and the agent would sign the DoC and maintain the compliance 
folder. ACA (the regulator) says an agency agreement should be in place to 
clarify who is responsible for compliance of the equipment in the market.


Since there is no submission to be made or certification granted, the time 
frame on this can be quite short. We would probably turn around and ask how 
quickly the manufacturer needs to ship the product.


Hope this helps.

DSSS WLAN for Australia

2002-04-25 Thread Desmond Fraser
Hello Group:
 
We recently received a certification granted for a 2.4 GHZ portable wireless
LAN card.  The device transmits between 2.4GHz and 2.472 GHz with maximum
EIRP levels of less than 15mW.  This device was FCC approved under 15.247,
Specific absorption rate measurements were also performed.  
 
Does anyone know the following below for Australia.
 
1.   Can the manufacturer use a DOC with an Australian

2.   Is the ctick-mark mandatory for the referenced devices?
 
3.   Should an agency agreement exist between agent and the

4.   Who applies for the Ctick mark?  The agent or the

Country of Origin/Made in xxx-Revisited

2002-04-25 Thread MartinJP

To all,

The recent threads on Country of Origin and Made in xxx brought up many
questions on this subject.  So, I did some research.  I appeared to get
some answers and also created some more questions.  Hopefully, members of
the group can confirm or disagree with the items listed below.

1.   US International Trade Commission (USITC) Requirements--According to
the information I have obtained, there are no requirements for products
being exported from the US.  The Country of Origin requirements only
pertain to products that are imported into the US. Do you agree? How does
this requirement work for a US manufacturer that also has products built in
another country such as Singapore?  Do we need to mark the products
manufactured in Singapore with Country of Origin for shipment into the US?

2.   North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Requirements--If your
product meets the preference criteria A-F as defined by the Agreement, you
create a Certificate of Origin to get preferential tariff treatment.  The
US, Canada and Mexico all have their own Country of Origin marking
requirements.  Agree??

3.   US Federal Trade Commission Made in USA requirements--In order to
label a product Made in USA, the product must be substantially all made
in the US.  A product will be considered substantially all made in the US
if the product was last substantially transformed in the US and US
manufacturing cost are at least 75% of total manufacturing costs; OR the
product was last substantially transformed in the US and all significant
parts were last substantially transformed in the US (substantially
transformed refers to a manufacturing process that results in a new and
different article of commerce, having a new name, character and use.)
Agree??

4.   Countries other than the US Country of Origin Requirements--Does
anybody have a list of Country of Origin marking requirements for various
countries??

All responses are greatly appreciated.

Regards

Joe Martin
