Dear Scott:

On that issue, National Differences, if you have told your customer you are an expert on European Compliance, they will expect expert advice. If National Differences affects their ability to sell, they will expect you will have advised them of the limits associated with your report.

It is obviously best to tell them in advance that the general report covers XYZ countries, and National Differences in Country A adds $$, Country B adds $$, etc.

Basically, pass the buck to your customers and potential customers, by informing and educating them.

If you, the expert, don't cover this ground, and their products are barred from some country, they will be unhappy. The ramifications of this are highly variable. Lawsuits over this type of subject are common.

Chuck Seyboldt

Dear Steli,

Thanks for your advice! Do National Differences mean National conditions and National deviations normally in Annex of the standard?

How can a testing house ignore the National Differences? I dare to guest the applicants may not decide where the goods to be sold when applies for the testing. Thus the testing house either does not test the national differences or test all national differences. As a commercial testing house, testing them all will increase the testing charges reducing their competitive edge on the market. If the applicant indicates the destined market, the testing house cannot avoid the testing to national differences and deviations. The buyer must be careful to accept the supplier’s evidence when they receive those testing report and see if it fits for purpose.

Regards,

Scott

   Dear Scott,
   In addition to the Mr. Woodgate comment, please be informed that in the frame of the 
CB Scheme need to pay attention to "National Differences" on IEC standards. 
This is an important issue which not all time is addressed by the testing houses which 
issue the CB Test Reports.

       Hi John,

       I notice the CB reports that they will conduct the test according to IEC 
standard and the standards for destined market, i.e. EN for EU.  As usual, EN 
standards are derived from IEC standard.  If the IEC standard is listed below 
the EN standard without indication of modified, the IEC compliance report can 
be used as self-declaration of conformity to the directive due to the fact that 
both EN and IEC standards are identical.

       Regards,

       Scott

           The attached HS list does have IEC standards.  Do they have other

               Hi Durrer,

               Both IEC and EN 60335-2-24 were in the harmonised standard list 
of OJEU before they were removed.  Regarding the national standard BS EN 
60335-2-24 should be technically identical with EN 60335-2-24.  Although it is 
still valid in BSI website, the HS removal is due to UK objection.  It does not 
make sense using BS EN 60335-2-24 to declare the compliance with LVD.

               It is good suggestion to take care this known issue in risk 
assessment required in LVD.  As this issue is being discussed in IEC to EN 
standard conversion.  For the time being, the latest IEC A2 amendment seems a 
reasonable reference to address the fire risk.

               Regards,

               Scott

                   Dear Scott,

                   The removal of the reference to EN 60335-2-24 from the OJEU 
means that compliance with this standard does not provide the presumption of 
conformity as defined in Article 12 of LVD. Actually, the nationally adopted 
versions of this standard are still valid (e.g. BS EN 60335-2-24, 
https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030236214). As IEC 
60335-2-24 is not listed as an international standard in the OJEU, I do not see 
any advantage in declaring CE compliance with the IEC version, especially as 
the objection raised by the UK against the use of highly flammable materials 
would also apply to fridges compliant with IEC 60335-2-24.

                   As risk analysis (preferably according to CENELEC Guide 32) 
is a mandatory part of the technical documentation (LVD, Annex III, Module A, 
2.), the manufacturer is bound to consider the findings in UK's objection and 
to avoid the use of such materials even if they are compliant with the IEC/EN 
standard. Please be aware that the obligations of the manufacturer (LVD, Art. 
6) also include the monitoring of products already in the market and to take 
corrective measures if it is found that a product presents a risk.

                   Regarding a new product, you may still refer to EN 60335-2-24, but it 
will not give you presumption of conformity. With the CE DoC you declare that your 
electrical equipment provides "a high level of protection of health and safety of 
persons, and of domestic animals and property" (LVD, Art. 1), using the standard as 
a technical means to demonstrate compliance, but considering also risks that are not 
adequately addressed in the standard.

                   Kind regards,

                   Bernd

                   You can continue to use EN 60335-1 and reference IEC 
60335-2-24 to show compliance.  Just because the EN is withdrawn doesn’t mean 
the IEC is no longer valid.  Knowing now about the plastic issue, maybe you do 
some other evaluation method for it to ensure it’s safe to be used in that 
application.
