Found this OSM decision while I was searching for other info. I guess the question becomes is it considered a CHILD APPEALING product?
Standard: EN 60065:1998 EN 60065:2002 Sub clause: - Sheet No.: 02/1 Page 1 of 1 Subject: Child appealing Multimedia products Key words: - Meeting: OSM/EE - 2002 Item No. 9.1 Question: Description of situation: A manufacturer of LCD TVs wants to produce LCD TVs which must be designated as CHILD APPEALING product. The LCD TVs will be supplied by an external power supply or a battery pack, internal higher voltages are generated. These types of products are excluded from the scope of the Toy Directive. The manufacturer wants the products to be certified to EN 60065 Is it acceptable to evaluate these products to EN 60065 only? Decision: Since the products are clearly Child Appealing we must bear in mind the normal behaviour of children. Abusing a product is likely to occur; for example, dropping it on the floor, using it in a way that is not intended. Beside the EN 60065 we also will cover applicable additional tests (in case they are more severe than EN 60065 or not covered by EN 60065) according the following standards: EN 71 (toy directive) EN 50088 (safety of electric toys) The General Product Safety Directive 92/59EEC and the Liability Directive for defective products 85/374/EEC have also to be taken into account. An annex to the test report shall show these additional assessments. Explanatory notes: A child-appealing-product is a product which is constructed to represent a model, person or animal such that due to the design and materials used it could be treated by a child as a toy. -----Original Message----- From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of John Woodgate Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 10:35 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: 3D passive glasses In message <cd9372ee.1ac0b%scott...@gmail.com>, dated Tue, 16 Apr 2013, Scott Xe <scott...@gmail.com> writes: > Any comments on the product classification? If not a toy, what is the >product type should be. I was asked about this more than a year ago, by one of the leading manufacturers. I said that it was a very grey area and they should probably take legal rather than technical advice. I guess that CE marking under the 'toys Directive' is the result. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
