Vic,

I am not sure whether you are providing a product or a service.   Agencies
control products;-- I am not aware that they are controlling services in the
ITE product category.

However, assuming that you want to perform "due diligence" with respect to
what you are providing to your customers, I believe the question should be
asked,-- how are your customers using these "Evaluation Boards" ?    Are
these boards just a convenient place to mount your chips?    Is there any
circuitry on these boards that enables your customers to run some tests?
And if there is such circuitry, what would be the test platform?????

Assuming that the test platform is either a PC or some test and measurement
equipment, and your circuitry is designed for that specific platform, and
you want to encourage your customers to buy your chips rather than someone
else's because they are so good and, most important, they meet the
applicable EMC limits and safety requirements, then-

*       you test your Evaluation Boards in that platform to the appropriate
standards.

However, I am not sure that legally you are required to do all of the above.
I hope that someone else can shed some better wisdom on this very
interesting subject.

Hi All

As a chip manufacturer we provide Evaluation Boards to licencees for product
development.

I would appreciate any advice, guidance or comments regarding safety and emc
issues with regard to these boards.

Thank you.
