I assume that by "model number" you mean the "manufacturer's model or type reference" per IEC 950 section 1.7.1. This should require only an amendment to most certifications, i.e. replacing the former number with the new number. This will result in administrative cost to issue amended certificates etc. This assumes that only the power rating label is changed, not the hardware.
Testing is to verify that hardware meets the appropriate requirements. Any agency that requires re-testing to change the type/model designation may be desparate for new revenues. [My opinion.] Regards, George Please respond to rich%[email protected] To: emc-pstc%[email protected] cc: (bcc: George Alspaugh) bcc: George Alspaugh Subject: Model Numbers I am trying to get some clarification regarding re-certification of products if the model number changes. It is my understanding that if you change the model number of a product you may have to re-certify it. Does anybody know of the section which covers this? [email protected]
