Hi Charlie,

Thanks a million to your detail analysis!

As regards to 3. quality system in Annex IV of 2014/53/EU, is it referred to 
ISO 9001 quality system management?  I did not find any reference in current 
compliant reports of RTTED 99/5/EC.  Is it a new requirement for RED?  Would 
it  cause a higher level of compliance?

Scott

 There are four scenarios for equipment within scope of RTTE and/or RED, and 
 the various transition periods have been clarified by the European Commission:
  
 1. PRODUCTS WITHIN OLD LVD/EMCD AND CONTINUE TO BE WITHIN NEW LVD/EMCD (EVEN 
 AFTER APPLICABILITY OF RED)
  
 -Products placed on market before 20 April 2016: old LVD/EMCD
 -Products placed on market on or after 20 April 2016: new LVD/EMCD
 2. PRODUCTS WITHIN RTTED AND REMAIN WITHIN THE SCOPE OF RED
  
 -Products placed on market before 13 June 2016: RTTED
 -Products placed on market between 13 June 2016 and 12 June 2017: RTTED or 
 RED
 -Products placed on market after 12 June 2017: RED
  
 3. PRODUCTS WITHIN OLD/NEW LVD/EMCD BUT THEN FALL WITHIN RED (AFTER 
 APPLICABILITY OF RED)-FOR EXAMPLE TELEVISION AND SOUND BROADCASTING RECEIVERS
  
 -Products placed on market before 20 April 2016: old LVD/EMCD
 -Products placed on market between 20 April 2016 and 12 June 2016 : new 
 LVD/EMCD
 -Products placed on market between 13 June 2016 and 12 June 2017: RED or new 
 LVD/EMCD
 -Products placed on market after 12 June 2017: RED
  
 4. PRODUCTS WITHIN RTTED AND THEN OUTSIDE RED-FOR EXAMPLE TERMINAL EQUIPMENT
 -Products placed on market before 13 June 2016: RTTED
 -Products placed on market after 12 June 2016: RED is not applicable; new 
 LVD/EMCD, if applicable to the product in question
  
  
 The last scenario is the “nasty” one – there is a transition period written 
 into RED, but not into EMC or LVD, so equipment that is currently RTTE, but 
 not RED has to, in theory, comply with EMC/LVD “overnight”

 Hi Charlie,
  
 Thanks for sharing the temporary solution.  For the products that compliant 
 with current directives, are they just updated the DoC to comply with the new 
 ones?
  
 What about the RED replacing RTTE?  This one cannot be simply updated the 
 DoC since all the receivers will fall into RED but not current RTTE.  The 
 receivers have to be re-tested to the new directive.  The new directive does 
 not publish the homogenised standards yet for the 3rd party laboratories to 
 follow.  Thus they cannot test to the new directive as of today.

  You won't get anything officially, but unofficially the EU MSAs and 
  enforcement agencies should take a pragmatic stance regarding DoCs and not 
  be too concerned whether existing or new Directives are being referenced 
  for several months after the 20 April. *

  Hi All,
 
  The captioned directives will be enforced on 20 April 2016 with no 
  transition period.  As of today, no accredited laboratories accept the 
  compliance verification to those directive until 20 April 2016.  They claim 
  they cannot test to those directives until 20 April 2016 as per the 
  directive.  It is impossible in the industry to prepare for any compliant 
  products to be put on the market on 20 April 2016.  Since there is no any

  old directives.  Or any other idea/original idea of these new directives to 
  allow the compliant product putting on the market in good order.

Annex IV of 2014/53/EC is similar to Annex V of 1999/5/EC.

 

It’s an alternative compliance route, not necessarily a test report issue.

About 10-15 years ago, there was an advertising video for a Bapco Safety 
Analyzer that was making the rounds. As I recall the President of the company 
said he had all of his sales engineers experience what high leakage current 
felt like by having them hold on to the bare conductors of a circuit he 
designed and he walked through sensing the current, experiencing pain, and let 
go current. 

I would love to see that video again.

About 10-15 years ago, there was an advertising video for a Bapco Safety 
Analyzer that was making the rounds. As I recall the President of the company 
said he had all of his sales engineers experience what high leakage current 
felt like by having them hold on to the bare conductors of a circuit he 
designed and he walked through sensing the current, experiencing pain, and let 
go current.

I would love to see that video again.

Well, no demonstration... Looked into it several years ago and the
 IEEE didn't want to cover the liability for such.  Too, bad, I've always
 felt that EE product folks should always know what allowable electric shock
 feels like.  But I do get to describe my own reaction to electric shock (bus
 not as satisfying for the audience).

I would love to see a similar demonstration on determining minor to moderate 
mechanical hazards; pinch, crush, shear, etc.  How to measure force, determine 
contact area, calculating contact pressure, and ultimately determining the 
Ouch Factor. What protective measure can be use in different cases to lower 
the risk to an accessible level? How bad of boo boo are you willing to let 
your Users have access too?  At some point, someone is going to have to stick 
their finger in there and see how bad it hurts. I'm thinking about using one of

Hi guys,



I'm heading up the Compliance 101 Track for the 2016 Symposium in Anaheim, CA.  
The Track was very well received last year and I'm hoping to do it again this 
year with 6 or 7 presentations on high level compliance issues, tips and 
teachings.



The audience for the Track are those new to compliance and designers who don't 
have the time to get their hands around compliance.  Believe it or not, some 
people that attended the Track last year still thought UL was a government 
agency.



I believe we have a huge opportunity to grow the Symposium, and membership in 
the PSES by teaching newbies and designers how to do what we do.  For the 
consultants out there I know this sounds like you're giving away free 
consulting, and you are, but as one of you I can say it is worth it - a 
knowledgeable client is our best client!!



The Symposium is not until May 16-18, 2016 but we need to get organized as the 
TPC is already meeting monthly.



Please consider doing a presentation and reach out to me if your interested.  
If you'd like to see the Compliance 101 presentations to get a flavor for what 
they looked like let me know.  Not 100% sure if I can pass them on if you 
didn't attend the symposium, but can certainly pass along something similar to 
the one I did.



Best Regards,



John

Re: [PSES] [BULK] Re: [PSES] PSES Symposium 2016 - Compliance 101 Track

2015-08-24 Thread Ted Eckert
Hotdogs can be used for demonstrations of pinch points. (I recommend not using 
Chicago style 
dogshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_hot_dog#/media/File:Chicago-style_hot_dog_2.jpg.
 The ketchup and mustard are bad enough, but that neon green relish makes a 
real mess during testing.) But seriously, raw hotdogs work for showing how 
different situations could cut the skin on a finger.

Another potential demonstration is to show how the K factor of a fan relates to 
injury. My hypothetical test would be to use a set fans with varying K factors. 
You could use the aforementioned hotdog or people who have signed a waiver. I 
wouldn't recommend allowing participants to test any fan with a K factor more 
than 25% of the finger safe limit. That should be sufficient to give an idea of 
what the K factor means. It may be interesting to take a fan with a K factor 
just within the finger-safe limit and stick a hotdog in it to show what happens.

More than a decade ago, I took an HBSE course from UL that included leakage 
current video. It appeared to be from the 1950s and it started with a notice 
that the video was in the public domain. However, I've never been able to find 
a copy on the web. In the video, the person giving the demonstration cuts the 
ground plug off of a metal power drill and holds it in his hand. (This was long 
before double insulated power tools.) The person than put a metal cuff around 
their forearm just below the elbow. An assistant adjusted the current flowing 
through the presenters arm from the cuff to the drill. increasing it in steps 
to 8 mA with the presenter explaining what he feels. At 8 mA, the presenter was 
losing control of the musculature of the forearm, but he was still able to 
stand up and clearly describe the situation.

I don't know if UL still has this video. If so, it is another question whether 
they would present it again or share it. Personally, I would rather not create 
a modernized version. I've experienced 3.5 mA between two fingers on one hand 
and that is more than enough of a test for me.

The opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my 
employer. Do not try this at home, and consult your corporate attorney before 
even considering any demonstrations using humanb subjects. I am proposing 
hypotheitical demonstrations and I am not specifically endorsing the use of 
human subjects.

You can download the video here:

 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69937717/ubc/20041102-045126.mpg

 

The gentleman is Claude Haggard.  I think he lived in Medford, Oregon.  This
was from a TV show (back in the days of BW TV) he did for Pacific Power to
alert rural folks to the hazards of electricity.  Mr. Haggard would take his
show throughout the US, primarily for school children.  I saw him do his
show in person, probably in the Midwest.

 

Here is a very brief announcement of his presentation at SOC, March 25,
1955.

You can also see a record of Mr. Haggard presenting to an NFPA committee
(Chicago) in 1958:

Hotdogs can be used for demonstrations of pinch points. (I recommend not using 
Chicago style 
dogshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_hot_dog#/media/File:Chicago-style_hot_dog_2.jpg.
 The ketchup and mustard are bad enough, but that neon green relish makes a 
real mess during testing.) But seriously, raw hotdogs work for showing how 
different situations could cut the skin on a finger.



Another potential demonstration is to show how the K factor of a fan relates to 
injury. My hypothetical test would be to use a set fans with varying K factors. 
You could use the aforementioned hotdog or people who have signed a waiver. I 
wouldn’t recommend allowing participants to test any fan with a K factor more 
than 25% of the finger safe limit. That should be sufficient to give an idea of 
what the K factor means. It may be interesting to take a fan with a K factor 
just within the finger-safe limit and stick a hotdog in it to show what happens.



More than a decade ago, I took an HBSE course from UL that included leakage 
current video. It appeared to be from the 1950s and it started with a notice 
that the video was in the public domain. However, I’ve never been able to find 
a copy on the web. In the video, the person giving the demonstration cuts the 
ground plug off of a metal power drill and holds it in his hand. (This was long 
before double insulated power tools.) The person than put a metal cuff around 
their forearm just below the elbow. An assistant adjusted the current flowing 
through the presenters arm from the cuff to the drill. increasing it in steps 
to 8 mA with the presenter explaining what he feels. At 8 mA, the presenter was 
losing control of the musculature of the forearm, but he was still able to 
stand up and clearly describe the situation.



I don’t know if UL still has this video. If so, it is another question whether 
they would present it again or share it. Personally, I would rather not create 
a modernized version. I’ve experienced 3.5 mA between two fingers on one hand 
and that is more than enough of a test for me.



The opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my 
employer. Do not try this at home, and consult your corporate attorney before 
even considering any demonstrations using humanb subjects. I am proposing 
hypotheitical demonstrations and I am not specifically endorsing the use of 
human subjects.

I would love to see a similar demonstration on determining minor to moderate 
mechanical hazards; pinch, crush, shear, etc.  How to measure force, determine 
contact area, calculating contact pressure, and ultimately determining the 
“Ouch Factor”. What protective measure can be use in different cases to “lower 
the risk to an accessible level”? How bad of boo boo are you willing to let 
your Users have access too?  At some point, someone is going to have to stick 
their finger in there and see how bad it hurts. I’m thinking about using one of 
those pain charts they use at the hospital.



I’d go to a demonstration like that.

John,



Thanx for speaking up; the symposium is always awsome.



I did the Electric Shock for Dummies pitch last year and had a 
great group attending.  I’m willing to do it again this year, building on last 
years session with some improvements.

Hi Ted:





You can download the video here:



https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69937717/ubc/20041102-045126.mpg



The gentleman is Claude Haggard.  I think he lived in Medford, Oregon.  This 
was from a TV show (back in the days of BW TV) he did for Pacific Power to 
alert rural folks to the hazards of electricity.  Mr. Haggard would take his 
show throughout the US, primarily for school children.  I saw him do his show 
in person, probably in the Midwest.



Here is a very brief announcement of his presentation at SOC, March 25, 1955.



http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/96844225/



You can also see a record of Mr. Haggard presenting to an NFPA committee 
(Chicago) in 1958:



http://www.nfpa.org/Assets/files/AboutTheCodes/70/NEC-Proceedings-1958.pdf



Here is another article and picture about one of his presentations, (Seattle, 
November, 1971):

2015-08-24 Thread Ted Eckert
I would like to thank Rich for the link. That is exactly what I was looking for.

In response to Mr. Woodgate, I would like to state that I in no way meant to 
imply that I was endorsing the use of animals in electric shock demonstrations. 
My preference is to make use of existing references such as the one provided by 
Mr. Nute. Personally, I thought that the demonstration I participated in was 
excellent. This is where the participants could experience current up to 3.5 mA 
between two fingers on one hand. I remember signing a wavier and I was aware of 
the risks. I expect that I would not be allowed to set up a similar 
demonstration regardless of what wavier I had participants sign. My employer's 
legal department would laugh loudly if I even proposed the idea.

I will also make sure that I get signed consent from each and every hotdog I 
use for demonstrations of pinch and crush hazards.
