Not trying to start any arguments here, but the total subjectivity of this issue really drives me nuts and leaves so much for difference of opinion that it in itself becomes a regulatory barrier should there be a disagreement. Aircraft FEMCA's for example have fixed time requirements for

[PSES] Disconnect power before servicing label required?

2014-10-23 Thread Jim Hulbert
A question has been posed to me, with reference to ITE standards UL/EN 60950-1, whether a label is required near the appliance outlet stating disconnect power before servicing. The equipment is table top ITE, pluggable with a detachable cord. I do think it is an appropriate instruction for

Dear Jim, You probably mean near appliance inlet? I do not see a background for such label. Special label is required for service engineer if you have more connection to mains supply. What kind of service activities are planed on the unit? Best regards, Bostjan Boštjan Glavič Vodja

Thanks for the replies. This product only has a single external power source, so no label is required. (And yes, Boštjan, I meant appliance inlet, not outlet). Jim From: Jim Hulbert [mailto:jim.hulb...@pb.com] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 1:09 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject:

I thought it was common in most safety standards to require such a warning marking on panels with AC Mains hazard behind them. Something like this statement from IEC/EN/UL 61010-1 for ISM equipment: If the instructions for use state that an OPERATOR is permitted to gain access, using a TOOL,

The requirements vary depending on the product type. To some extent, the requirements for marking panels that enclose hazardous voltages depend on the risk that the end user will remove the panel. It is reasonable to anticipate that the end user would remove panels on industrial equipment.

I remember the old CRT TVs with labels on the rear for disconnecting power and the panels had the power connection integrated so you couldn't take it off without the power being disconnected. For all those homeowners moonlighting as TV repairmen/aka tube swappers. -Dave From: Ted Eckert

I used to see a common statement on consumer products that says, No User Serviceable Parts Inside. I wonder what standard required that because it is just a statement, not a warning. It should says something like, Hey, if this is not working chances are you cannot fix it, so don't open it up

Please take a look at 47 CFR 15.103 (c) regarding ISM exemption to part 15. However, back in the day, when I did EMC, we never worried about part 15 or part 18 because we always did IEC/EN 61326-1 and declared victory for the world. Best regards, Ron From: Crane, Lauren
