IEC Committee of Action, New Delhi, took the following decisions today (21 Oct) in respect of harmonics and the USNC protest on handling issues raised by TC74. They are quoted verbatim, although the square bracket context bits are mine.
FEI members have received a commentary on these decisions, but it is not suitable for repetition in this public forum. Russ Elliott Federation of Electronics Industry [email protected] _____________________________________________________ Decision CA/Delhi 2/97 [in the context of actions arising from the previous minutes (Geneva, Feb97)] The Committee of Action requests ACEC to convene a special ad hoc working group for defining emission limits in the field of consumer and professional electronic products with representatives from TC77, TC74 and other concerned product committees. ACEC is urged to report its conclusions to the Committee of Action at its February 1998 meeting. In the meantime, the limits defined by TC74 shall be used in any interim documentation. Decision CA/Delhi 3/97 [concerning the US protest on handling of issues raised by TC74] The Committee of Action confirms, in accordance with Guide 108, that TC77 and CISPR are responsible for defining emission limits for application by all product TC/SC and that ACEC is responsible for ensuring coordination between these TCs/SCs and the horizontal EMC committees, TC77 and CISPR. Where these parameters cannot be accepted for a specific application after negotiation in CISPR, TC77 and ACEC if necessary, including the possibility of a transitional period, then the product TC/SC concerned will present its case for decision by the Committee of Action. end
