Doug, Well, as I remember a Recognized component is incomplete and has Conditions of Acceptability attached to it which subsequent users (including you, the using manufacturer) plus the NRTL engineers are supposed to consider in applying the component in your application.
I do remember a Recognized power supply that was used in a product... when we began the product certification the NRTL engineer pointed out that we had to do all the power supply testing - including thermal and fault tests - as the power supply was Recognized without any testing being done... Guess it was mostly our fault, we leaned really hard o the supplier to provide the Recognized supply in a time frame that didn't allow them to completely finish the certification evaluation, but it does point out that the component evaluation is negotiable with the cert lab... As you can tell, I'm not too sympathetic... Harass your supplier to fix it, or provide the protection in your own product. br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Consultant Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax p.perk...@ieee.org ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
