John We often come across large systems or machines where we ask the manufacturer for certification details for the components, they sometimes are unable to get much information from their suppliers, a common example is for transformers where it is unlikely that they have been tested, except as an end of line production test and are only supplied with a DOC. We do not accept these but are always asked.
I am sorry to hear that you are leaving this forum. My feeling is that your input was extremely useful and it will be missed (where do you get the time to do the research, or is it all in your head). It is particularly useful to have somebody on standards committees to show us all how it works.

There is normally no reason for a test house to be asked to 'accept' a DOC, unless the manufacturer commissions it to use the DOC to support a claim of conformity to some other requirements, such as Australian. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Eat mink and be dreary! ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
