A few weeks ago, there was an interesting presentation on this very subject at the TUV Sud Customer Day at Brooklands - so maybe someone from TUV Sud might like to comment? :-D
John Allen W.London, UK -----Original Message----- From: Pete Perkins [mailto:00000061f3f32d0c-dmarc-requ...@ieee.org] Sent: 14 August 2015 20:09 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] Friday night conundrum John, Thinking of all of this only in EMI terms seems way too limiting. There are examples of all kinds of electromechanical devices which interact readily with the body which could harbor unsuspecting hazards. There are already artificial limbs that are computer driven (even from brain waves or other nerve signals}. A cochlear implant doesn't have to be solely driven by audio. How about an augmented reality set of glasses (and the computing horsepower that drives it, all wearable). What about a driven exoskeleton that provides movement to someone severely handicapped or adds super power for lifting or jumping. Wearables are just coming into their own and we do not yet see the full range of possibilities or the issues that they will raise. Some will be regulated medical devices (by whatever mechanism draws them into that category) others will be commercial products and only covered by the usual sets of requirements we normally deal with. It appears that the fun is just beginning. Do you, John, want to leave all the fun up to the young guys? :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Engineer PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax <mailto:p.perk...@ieee.org> p.perk...@ieee.org -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [ <mailto:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk> mailto:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk] Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 11:24 AM To: <mailto:EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] Friday night conundrum In message < <mailto:001401d0d6bd$33ff5980$9bfe0c80$@cs.com> 001401d0d6bd$33ff5980$9bfe0c80$@cs.com>, dated Fri, 14 Aug 2015, Pete Perkins < <mailto:00000061f3f32d0c-dmarc-requ...@ieee.org> 00000061f3f32d0c-dmarc-requ...@ieee.org> writes: > Is the 'brite line' of separation because of the power supply (I >think not) or at some other defined 'interface'. The question ought to be whether the product is a *conceivable* EMI threat or needs regulatory control of its immunity. But note 'ought'.
