Hi Pete, If it is for CB Scheme, that rule was put out by IECEE in 2011 with exemption to TC108 standards. For others, unless it is Hazardous Location or Intrinsic Safety, it is probably based on the lab exactly how the situation is handled.

This product uses Ni-metal hydride rechargable batteries. All the certification focus seemed to have moved to Li based batteries with not a lot of concern for older constructions. The cert lab enginer, however, wants full pedigree papers for the batteries - which the mfgr feels is not needed. Wot's the experience of others on this net? :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Engineer PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax p.perk...@ieee.org - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
