Subject: EMC & Safety Standards
Dear Group,
I'm making a study on EMC & Safety Standards, and some questions
appeared. I'd like to post them to the group to see if someone can
help
me. The questions are:
# Safety standards seem only to aim the protection the equipment...
And
the operator/user of the equipment? Is there any standard for
protection
of the user/operator?
The international safety standard that is used for Information
Technology Equipment and Business Equipment is IEC950. Many countries have
adopted this standard as their national standard. The objective of the
standard is to prevent all types of hazards including electrical shock,
fire, mechanical, chemical, thermal and radiation hazards. The protection
applies to the operator and to service persons.
# The VCCI Standard is more restrictive than the European Norms
(ENs)??
I understand that the VCCI standards are EMC standards. Japan has
adopted IEC safety standards including IEC950. However, as many countries
do, they have introduced national deviations. You would have to compare
Japan's deviations to those of the EU to determine how they affect your
equipment. All of these deviations may be found in the CB Bulletin which is
published by the IEC.
# Is there any standard which covers the effects of Non-Ionizing
Radiation (Electromagnetic Radiation) on the human health?
ICNIRP Guidelines:1998
IEEE C95.1:1991
ENV 50166-1:1995
ENV 50166-2:1995
NRPB Vol 4. No. 5:1993
VDE 0848-2:1982
VDE0848-4:1989
ACGIH Guidelines:1999
I think that's all... Thanks in advance for those who can help!
Best Regards,
Muriel
