Hi Folks Bear in mind that there are some import and certification formalities to be observed.

However, I do mot have the standard number readily available. But, I do know that the standard references the UK BS 1363 plug and the US NEMA 5-15 plug. Also, to the best of my knowledge, there are no mandatory Saudi approvals required for power cords or cord sets.

I know that British fused plugs are used there (for 220V/60Hz), but I want to know if this is a regulatory requirement. BTW, class OI or class II appliances are acceptable for selling there? Any comments will be highly appreciated. Regards, Luiz _________________________________________________________ Oi! Você quer um iG-mail gratuito?

--- Begin Message ---Jim, We have shipped some products to Saudi Arabia. They have a form, much like a DofC and a process to follow. My most recent work was 1995 so this may be outdated by now. The process went something like this. Contact the the Saudi Embassy or the US-ARAB Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC. They will send you some information. Fill out their format declaration and forward it with two checks to a certain person there. Ask that person to process it and then courier it to the Saudi Embassy. The first check ($21.00) covers legal and courier fees. The second check ($8.50) was for the Saudi Embassy to cover their costs. In the end, after a week or two, you will get back your original declaration with a large, and I mean large, rubber stamp on the back of it. It was all red and in Arabic. This is then copied and sent along with the customs papers for the product to Saudi Arabia. We never had any problems when following this process. I have some old files done in Quark Express that reminded me how to do this, includes addresses, etc. Remember they are 4 or more years old now. I no longer have QE so would have to get someone here to translate them. But if you think they will help, let me know. In the short run, I was able to extract the following from these files: CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT ISSUED BY THE FACTORY IN EXECUTION OF SASO BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S DECISION NO. 58 DATED 17/9/1405 H. and We certify that the supplied consignment of the above-mentioned appliance was produced by our factory and confirm to the following Saudi Standards and/or to the following Standards approved by SASO: SSA 16, 17, 18, 86, and 182. Also, UL1950, CSA 950, EN 60 950, EN55 022, EN 50 082-1. Hope this helps.

--- Begin Message ---Hi Ed, Taiwan : EMC Broadcast Receiver Associated Equipment CNS 13439 equivalent to CISPR 13 See attached document for Taiwan. For Sauidi Arabia you can browse the SASO website www.saso.org.sa but the only problem is all the standards are listed in Arabic.International safety standard like IEC 950 or even UL 1950 is recognised. You have to complete a self-declaration of compliance form from SASO. For EMC, the same applies, CISPR 13/EN55013 reports are recognised. Hope this helps. I actually posted a question to the emc-pstc members on a telecom issue for Suadi Arabia for which I'm waiting for answers. If you don't mind, I'll re-post my question here It appears that in Saudi Arabia DTMF tones are used instead of FSK signalling for caller id. This is similar to ANI (automatic number identification) signalling used on T1 (CAS lines). It could be that Saudi Arabia use Wink Start on their analogue lines. I need to know if this is true. Also 1. Do they also do DID in a similar fashion (the called number is signalled using DTMF tones) 2. What is the inter digit (DTMF) time 3. Is there a termination DTMF tone. Your comments and links to any useful info is greatly appreciated Thanks, Praveen -----Original Message----- From: E Eszlari [mailto:bosesaf...@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, 27 October 2000 12:08 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Requirements for Saudi Arabia and Taiwan Can anyone tell me where I can locate Audio/Video equipment Safety and EMC requirements for Saudi Arabia and Taiwan?
