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.
