I¹m not looking for justification, just a primer on these subjects for the
non-engineer. Thank you.

Subject: RE: [PSES] Basic instruction in EMC and safety requirements for the
non-professional

 
 
Hi Ken:
 
 
Oh, boy.  EMC and safety requirements are a cost without a sale.  That is
what a VP of marketing told me.   For the most part, management would prefer
to keep the costs at a minimum.
 
EMC, ROHS, and safety requirements are rules that the products must comply
with in order to sell in various countries.
 
1)      The requirements must be included in the design of the product.

 
2)      Tests verify that the product complies with the requirements and
determine whether the product can bear certification marks.

 
3)      Marks applied to the product attest to compliance with the
requirements.

 

4)      For some countries, documents accompanying the product attest to
compliance with the requirements.

 

5)      Some countries and certification houses require factory inspection
as a condition for marking the product.

 

6)      Some certification houses require periodic factory surveillance.

 

7)      The cost of compliance at our company isŠ  The number of full-time
employees in this activity isŠ

 

I¹m sure that you can amplify on any of these points if asked.
 
 
Good luck, and best regards,
Rich

Can anyone out there suggest either some texts or urls covering the subject
matter for management at a higher level not interested in details?
Especially as to impact on selling equipment outside a country¹s own
borders.

Thank you,
