Ian, I recommend that you visit the European Commission's EMC web site: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/electr_equipment/emc/index.htm You will find a guide that describes the file requirements and your obligations for reselling a private branded product. The basic requirements are not going to change with the revised directive. Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International From: White, Ian [mailto:ianwh...@spiraxsarco.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 11:34 AM To: IEEE Forum (E-mail) Subject: Proposed new EMC Directive. Hi everyone. We have been working through consequences of the New Proposed Emc Directive. As we are not a large electronics company so we will not be able to quote all the standards we quoted today as we don't use equipment detailed in that said standard. The new directive states we will have to establish technical documentation which enables conformity to be assed, which would include design and manufacturing information as well as test results. No doubt detailing the instrumentation used as well. This is going to make for a very large file for each product. There is also the point, that we buy in products and put the Spirax label on it. Upto this point we have excepted a suppliers D of C. Across the company this a large number of products. We would be left assessing if a supplier was complying by reading his technicial documentation. The amount of paperwork this would entail is a bit overpowering to think about. Have we been reading the Proposed EMC Directive correctly ? Thanks Ian
