What safety standards are scoped? What EMC standards are scoped?
A stand-alone "handheld device" is typically not industrial equipment, but you have until 2017 for monitoring equipment. Your stuff needs to be defined in Article 2(4). Brian -----Original Message----- From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org]On Behalf Of Carl Newton Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 11:06 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Cc: emcl...@gmail.com Subject: RoHS 2 - Definition of Industrial Monitoring Equipment Group, I'm trying to find some reputable definitions of industrial monitoring equipment as it relates to RoHS 2. There is a very brief reference in the WEEE Directive Annex IB which refers to equipment installed within an industrial control panel, and that example is much too narrow. The official RoHS 2 FAQ doesn't address the question. I'm dealing with a handheld device that is used to measure flatness on brake rotors within industrial environments. I think that it would be accurate to consider it test and measurement equipment. However, what should be considered to be industrial monitoring? I'm trying to understand whether a piece of test equipment such as this which is used to MONITOR the quality of a finished manufactured product qualifies as an industrial monitoring device within the context of RoHS 2. Although I realize that my last sentence appears to answer the question, what I'm really after are sources of information, ideally official, which expands upon the definition of industrial monitoring equipment. Does anyone on this list have experience with this question?
