Chris,
UL508 is for "Industrial Control Equipment". Do you have plans to sell the
said product as an
Information Technology Equipment in the EEA? If the product is intended for
use in an
industrial environment, as some kind of controller, EN60950 would not be the
best choice.

I am looking for help rationalizing when a product must be evaluated to the
LVD.
This is for a product my company is considering namebranding.
I would like to see the product evaluated to EN60950 but the vendor is arguing
that due to the
24VDC, low voltage rating the product does not need to be formally evaluated
to an European
safety standard to claim the CE mark. The product does meet UL508.
Background - The product is a communication gateway with the following ports:
DC power in put 24VDC ~ 10W (not internally fused)
Ethernet, Cat5 RJ45 twisted pair LAN/WAN interface
RS485 multipoint subnetwork (Modbus, cable up to ~ 4K')
Proprietary twisted pair multipoint network similar to RS485 (cable up
to 10K')
RS232 port for connecting to external modem like devices
USB slave - temporary programming port
Modem Interface - optional (not found on all models)
In my view the Modem interface is very hazardous and so the product should be
formally
evaluated.
Since the modem interface is a USA version perhaps this model could be
excluded from having a
CE mark.
Anything else stand out as requiring evaluation to EN60950?
Also I remember reading that this voltage limit exception topic is under
review.
Thanks
Chris Wells
