SCV EMC Society Meeting
"Emerging standards for europe"
Tuesday, February 13, 2001

The February meeting of the Santa Clara Valley EMC Society will be held at SGI
in Mountain View, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy., building 40, in the Presentation
Center above the lobby. The social gathering will start at 5:30 PM, and food
and drinks will be available. The technical presentation will start at 7:00 PM. 

The presentation concerns the marketing of consumer, commercial, medical, or
light industrial products in the European Union.

The "New Approach Directives" of the European Union mandate new and expanded
testing for Regulatory Compliance for most electrical & electronic products. 
These Standards affect a vast array of  products, some of which have not been
subject to such rigorous testing  in the past.  The important changes to the
EMC Directive (89/336EEC) and their impact on your  company's products are
discussed in this presentation. The Standards being added this year include: 

   EN61000-4-5    Lightning Strike (Surge) 
   EN61000-4-6    Conducted RF Immunity 
   EN61000-4-8    50 Hz Magnetic Fields 
   EN61000-4-11   Power Dips & Interrupts 
   EN61000-3-2    Power Harmonics 
   EN61000-3-3    Power Flicker 
   EN55022/1998    the "New CISPR 22" tests for ITE & Telecoms 

This is essential information on the newly mandated tests required during 2001.
Early knowledge of these "Emerging  Standards" and their impact on your design
and marketing plans will put  you far ahead of your competition.  

The speaker is Jerry Ramie of ARC Technical Resources, Inc., a 20-year veteran
of Regulatory Compliance, EMC, and RF/Microwave measurement instrumentation. 

 From 1985 to Present,  Jerry has worked in the Manufacturer's Representative
business here in the West, with membership in the dB Society and the IEEE-EMC
Society Recognition Award for 1997-1998 (Santa Clara Valley section) Jerry
co-founded Compliance Systems Corporation in 1998 to integrate various brands
of equipment into complete EMC systems. 

In the early '80's  Jerry was a Field Sales Engineer with EATON Corp. involving
EMC Test Equipment & Systems, RF & Microwave Spectrum Analyzers, Synthesized
Signal Generators, AC Products, Noise Figure Equipment, and Broadband Linear
Amplifiers for Military and Commercial test installations.
