More details at the meeting.
Information available on afternoon talks and speakers:
Michael Derby is the senior regulatory review engineer and Director of ACB
Europe. He is a TCB for the FCC, an FCB for Industry Canada and a Notified
Body for the R&TTE and EMC Directives. Michael is an active member of the
R&TTECA and TCB Council. He is the liaison between the two organizations
and is the Chairman of the TCB Council Board of Directors. Michaels past
experience includes product development, testing and certification for test
laboratories and manufacturers.
Jonathan Harros obtained his Bachelors Degree with Honours and a Diploma in
Engineering. He worked for a number of engineering companies prior to
obtaining a lecturing and research role at the University of Hull (England)
within the Department of Electronic Engineering, and joined KTL in 1995.
Jonathan has actively participated in various technical working groups for a
number of Alliances and Forums, including the Broadband Forum, the Continua
Alliance and the ZigBee Alliance. He is the current Chairman of the ZigBee
Retail Services (ZRS) Group, holds the post of Technical Editor for the
ZigBee Qualification Group (ZQG), is a member of the ZigBee Architecture
Review Committee (ZARC) and is one of the eight members of the ZigBee Expert
Panel for the ZigBee Alliance. In addition, Jonathan was appointed a
Continua Certification Expert (CCE) and has held the Chairmanship of the CCE
Group within the Continua Alliance. Jonathan frequently gives presentations
at the Annual European ZigBee Developers Conference and is a regular
contributor of articles to Incisor Magazine. Jonathan currently holds the
post of ZigBee Business Manager for TRaC Global Ltd (Hull)
ZigBee is a low power wireless protocol, which uses the IEEE 802.15.4 radio
specification for its physical and MAC layers.
In order for a product to be categorised as making use of ZigBee and display
the ZigBee logo, it must satisfy the certification requirements stipulated
by the ZigBee Alliance, which apply to the specific ZigBee implementation.
In addition to the certification requirements, a product must also comply
with regulatory specifications that are a legal requirement in order to
place a product in a given market. This presentation provides an overview
of the ZigBee certification process, and then covers the typical regulatory
areas that must be considered, including radio, safety and EMC requirements.
These requirements are dependent on the end product that contains the ZigBee
technology and the geographic market in which the product is to be placed.
Brian Jones is an independent EMC consultant. For six years he was EMC
Consultant to the UK Government's Business Department and for ten years was
secretary to the CENELEC EMC Committee TC210. Since February of this year
he has been the New Approach Directive Consultant for the EMC Directive,
advising the European Commission on EMC matters. He is speaking today in a
purely personal capacity.
Brian will update us on progress or otherwise in some EMC and
standardisation issues. Expect to hear about Digital Dividend (reuse of UHF
TV spectrum for mobile services), emissions and immunity in the frequency
range below 150 kHz (effects on smart metering and smart grid
communication), arc welding, and of course Power Line Communication.
Keith Armstrong graduated in electrical engineering with a B.Sc (Hons.) from
Imperial College London in 1972, majoring in analogue circuit design and
electromagnetic field theory, and achieved Upper Second Class Honours (Cum
Laude). Much of his working life until 1990 involved solving real-life
interference problems in high-technology products, systems, and
installations, for a variety of companies and organisations in a wide range
of industries. Keith has always aimed to make products easy to design and
manufacture, work properly, please their users, and make money for their
manufacturers. In the mid-1980s he ran the project to develop an entirely
new range of microwave test instruments (the 6200 series) for Marconi
Instruments, as well as being in charge of all of its hardware design.
Keith has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer (UK) since 1978, a Group 1
European Engineer since 1988, and has written and presented a great many
papers on EMC and on EMC for Functional Safety. He is a past chairman of the
IEEs Professional Group (E2) on Electromagnetic Compatibility, a member of
the IEEEs EMC and Product Safety Societies, chairs the IETs Working Group
on 'EMC and Functional Safety', and is the UK expert appointed to the IEC
61000-1-2 (EMC and Functional Safety) maintenance team.
The afternoon event is an open meeting, with all welcome. There is no
