Subject: IEC65 or IEC950 ?
Hi,
I have been troubled by some standard issue and sincerely hope that someone
could share their experience with me.
My company is selling multimedia products which is classified as Information
Technology Equipment(I.T.E.).
We used to OEM AC/DC adapter to be bundled with our I.T.E. products.
So happen that one of the vendor tested his China AC/DC power adapter to
GB8898(which is equivalent to IEC65) rather than GB4943(equivalent to IEC950)
My doubts are :
1) Can I still declare my product as I.T.E., if it is bundled with adapter
tested to GB8898(IEC 65) rather than GB4943(IEC950)?
J.R.: Assuming it is an auto-ranging device:
a. For the US and Canada, you need a formal NRTL approval,
b. For the EEA (European Economic Area), you need to issue an EC
Declaration of Conformity to the LV and EMC Directives (EN
standards need to be used). If I were you I would ask the NRTL to
verify the vendor test data.
2) Will there be any legal issue that I may face by using IEC65 tested adapter
for I.T.E. products ?
3) Wonder is the testing criteria of IEC65 more stringent than IEC950 ?
J.R.: There is avery good chance it complies with IEC 950.
