Re: Human Exposure in China and India
Hi Don, China doesn't use ICNIRP standard, their own standard is GB8702-88(published in 1988). Besides, some other standard also related to human exposure, GB9715-88, GB12638-90, GB10436-89, GB10437-89, GB16203-96. These standards are issued by different ministries, there is no harmonized human exposure standard in china since now. Generally, chinese standards will reference to Euro standard. Actually, china standard ministry has established a new human explosure standard, but many large telecom manufactures do not satisfy this standard because they think limit value in this standard is too low. So this standard has not been approved yet. Regards, Zhang, Haifeng This mail and/or attachments are confidential and may also be legally privileged.

China packaging waste law
Hi All, Could someone shed some light on The Law on Preventing Solid Waste from Polluting the Environment (Solid Waste Law) for packaging in China? The packaging in question is for a PDA. Per Chinese law manufacturers, distributors and importers of any packaging materials are responsible for the collection after their usage life. Who is really responsible e.g. manufacturer or distributor or importer? In Europe member states have system in place e.g. Green Dot (Grüner Punkt) for the collection of used packaging.

China RoHS Exemption for Telecom Equipment
Hi List Members, We were advised by one of our suppliers that China RoHS allows an exemption for Telecom infrastructure equipment. Can anyone comment on what is the official definition of Telecom Infrastructure Equipment as it relates to this standard? Is there a list of equipment defined by China as Telecom Infrastructure Equipment ? Since we will sell this product into China along with our equipment we are concerned that they are taking this exemption. The product in question is a Network Security Appliance which could be used for Core Network Services in large Enterprises and Data Centers. If we can use the exemption for this is marking and labeling still required. Thank you! Christine Rodham _ Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story.

ATE equipment in China
I was asked if an ATE company can sell non-certified test equipment to a U.S. based company and if the U.S. Based company can then ship the equipment for use at their plant in China. I didn’t think they could do this but I’d like to have the opinion of the experts here. This does not have anything to do with my employer and is a question that was directed to me by a manufacturer of ATE. Thank you.

Re: Compliance requirements for transformers in China
Hi Ian, Transformers ( 变压器) are not listed in the CCC Catalogue ( http://www.cnca.gov.cn/cnca/rdht/qzxcprz/rzml/images/20070123/995.htm) except the ones for welders (sub-item number, the second column, 46).

RE: Has China changed RoHS packaging requirements ?
Peter, From the QA to/from the MII at the Oct-2006 China RoHS conference hosted by the AeA: 27 Q. Is the material identified required only on the outer product packaging? In other words, is the material identification NOT required on the transportation packaging? December 2006 FAQ Standards Q/A # 27 states: Article 6.2 of GB 18455-2001 states, 'Each packed item generally needs to bear only one label'. Here, packed item means the unit comprised of the product and the packaging materials that are combined together for sale or shipping. Based on this definition, companies only need to provide recycling symbols on the outermost layer of the packed item in order to give the name of the packing material. Labeling of packaging belts, transparent tapes, filler materials, protectors, small plastic bags used as dividers and other items used to aid packing is encouraged but not compulsory. Please note that answers to this and to 82 other questions were given by senior members of the MII at the conference. IHTH. Best regards, Ron Pickard rpick...@hypercom.com From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Peter Weichel Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 1:28 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Has China changed RoHS packaging requirements? Hi all, On a recent seminar i was told that China had changed their requirements to packaging marking for RoHS Phase I.

Has China changed RoHS packaging requirements ?
Hi all, On a recent seminar i was told that China had changed their requirements to packaging marking for RoHS Phase I. According to the person i was talking to China would accept now ONLY marking the outer materials and not all materials as previously mentioned in the China RoHS law. Has anyone come across this as a statement/fact from China ? I seem not to be able to find it anywhere on the Internet though.

China Mining Approvals
Regaring the question on MA Approvals for China: China requires safety approvals for mining, known as MA (Mei Anquan = Coal Safety). Without MA approval, mining equipment is not permitted to go underground. China has developed a specific approval system for equipment manufactured in China and imported equipment. CCRI Coal Safety Division (MA) manages the certification from Beijing and is supported by 15 testing laboratories throughout China. Think of MA as being a similar organization as MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) is in the US. Product approvals for MA can either be done as an individual piece of equipment (for a particular serial number of a model) or for effective period certification. Effective period certification involves compliance with the GB3836 series of standards, which are similar to the IEC60079 series, except for being based on earlier versions and having several national differences, a quality audit of the manufacturing facility and meeting the intended function. For the majority of the world, product safety certifications are for safety only, and do not reflect any verification of performance claims. For MA certified equipment, the certified equipment must also be suitable for the stated function. Mr Wang Chunping is Import Manager, and he can be reached at the MA Office maoff...@chinacoal-safety.gov.cn Bill Lawrence FM Approvals 781-255-4822 __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Re: China CNCA 2007 Notice No 9 - HTS Codes?
I will try to clarify the questions. The CNCA 2007 Notice No. 9 should be the replacement of the CNCA 2001 Notice No. 33. CNCA 2001 Notice No. 33 lists 19 categories and 132 items, while CNCA 2007 Notice No. 9 lists 22 categories and 159 items. The added 3 categories are: WLAN, Decroration Products, and Toys. Both notices do NOT provide any HS codes. I agree with Mike that HS codes are questionable. HTS codes may fit better. The first official list of CCC regulated products with HS codes was AQSIQ/CNCA 2002 Notice No. 60, which included 325 items with 2 items missing. This document seems outdated and CNCA website doesn't link to it anymore. After the Notice No. 60, the following notices regarding the Catalogue has been promulgated: AQSIQ/CNCA 2003 Notice No. 113, dated December 1, 2003 (WLAN, postponed) AQSIQ/CNCA 2004 Notice No. 6, dated Janarary 15, 2004 (Decroration Products) AQSIQ/CNCA 2004 Notice No. 62, dated June 1, 2004 (Security Prevention Products) AQSIQ/CNCA 2005 Notice No. 137, dated September 12, 2005 (Automobile parts) AQSIQ/CNCA 2005 Notice No. 198, dated December 30, 2005 (Toys, not mandatory until June 1, 2007) AQSIQ/CNCA 2006 Notice No. 103, dated July 18, 2006 (not mandatory until May 1, 2008) The Excel file from Shenzhen I mentioned earlier doesn't include the items for the last two notices listed above, as they are not mandatory at this time. Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has its own list. The Shanghai's list has a slightly diffierence compared to the Shenzhen's. To answer David's question, there is no complete (or official) list of regulated products with HS codes available. Both Shenzhen's and Shanghai's lists are for reference only. David, I made a comparison chart and sent you through another e-mail. You are able to tell the difference among those lists. I hope it helps.

RE: [EMC-PSTC] red LED restrictions for China?
Thank you for the responses. I'll make sure the design team concerned with this topic clearly states the intent of any red LEDs they plan on using. Just to be certain, I'll ask my Chinese regulatory contact. Just an observation, isn't it amazing how prevalent LEDs are today?

Re: red LED restrictions for China?
Hi All, I am surprised that no one has made mention of the suit that was filed in order to have the red LED displayed on their disc drives. I believe the co lost on this matter. It was determined - at that time - that a red color was to be only used as a warning of impending disaster. It was several years later, as I recall, that it was finally decided that because of the use of computers as control equipment on the factory floors, that the LED was not the same as a flashing red light. That you can discern if something is on vs. on fire. This was mainly due to the machinery directive allowing the use of hazard based evaluation techniques :). It should also be mentioned that at this time the only choice in monitor color you had was tan and the screens were orange on black (Europe before union) or white, sort of, on grey.

Re: red LED restrictions for China?
Havn't heard this in quite a few years. I think it was the late 80's and a Ergonomics specification from Germany IIRC. I don't recall if it went away because of European harmonization or just went away. Supposedly having Red LED's in the operator area could cause Eye Strain, IIRC.

Re: Packaging requirements for China RoHS
Hi Kevin, Your question has been answered by the MII since December 1, 2006. It has been posted at http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27260.html http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27260.html since then. After you open the page, your question is Question #30. If you cannot read in Chinese, there is an unofficial English translation available at http://www.graspllc.com/China%20RoHS%20QA%20-%20Standards.php http://www.graspllc.com/China%20RoHS%20QA%20-%20Standards.php. This MII posted QA document provides some clarification of three China RoHS standards. The first part, Questions 1-38, is for the SJ/T 11364-2006, the Marking Requirements. The second part, Questions 39-45, is for the SJ/T 11363-2006, the Limit Requirements. The last part is for the SJ/T 11365-2006, the Testing Methods. In addition, MII has posted a QA document related to the Administrative Measure at http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27258.html the same day. There are 46 QAs in this document. An unofficial English translation is available at http://www.graspllc.com/China%20RoHS%20Q http://www.graspllc.com/China%20RoHS%20QA%20-%20Measure.php A%20-%20Measure.php. As other member mentioned, AEA has posted a QA document regarding China RoHS at http://www.aeanet.org/GovernmentAffairs/gamm_ChinaRoHS_WorkshopFAQs.asp . This is another good resource for China RoHS. I hope this helps. Regards, Grace On 1/25/07, Kevin Newland kevin_newl...@yahoo.com wrote: Good morning all, I have studied some documents about China RoHS and the packaging requirements and one point is not very clear. Does each individual packaging need to be marked or can the outer box be mark to represent the complete packaging requirements. E.g. if a product is put in a polythene bag and then put in a box that has foam in it, do the bag, the foam and the box need to have their own individual marking or can one mark be put on the outside as kind of worse case representing the whole package?

RE: China RoHS mark requirements
If you meet the requirements; the circle e ... If you exceed the RoHS MCV will be the circle with a number on the useful life of the product before it begins to contaminate the environment. You also get to include in your documentation a description of what components in your product exceed these limits for each of the 6 materials regulated. Again see AEA we site for the FAQ. W.

Packaging requirements for China RoHS
Good morning all, I have studied some documents about China RoHS and the packaging requirements and one point is not very clear. Does each individual packaging need to be marked or can the outer box be mark to represent the complete packaging requirements. E.g. if a product is put in a polythene bag and then put in a box that has foam in it, do the bag, the foam and the box need to have their own individual marking or can one mark be put on the outside as kind of worse case representing the whole package?

RE: China RoHS - EFUP number

Too bad the appendix isn't completely filled out with the suggested or average use periods by product type. While on this topic, has anyone found a label vendor selling stickers for the use period or the Chinese recycling marks?

Re: China SRRC for 2.4GHz WLAN
for spread spectrum equipment. It is 10mW for short range radio equipment excluding cordless telephones, bluetooth equipment and WLAN. It is 25mW for cordless telephones. The power limit for WLAN does not state in this 423 document. Since the current reference standard refers to the document 353 for the radiated power of 2.4GHz spread spectrum equipment, for FHSS with antenna gain less than 10dBi, the power limit is 20 dBm (=100mW). On 11/15/06, kohscp koh...@singnet.com.sg wrote: Hi Group, We received a pieces of information from our China contact that, For 2.4GHz wireless product, it's classified as three category. 1) for transmit power of less than 10mW, it's classified as low power / short range device 2) for transmit power of less than 25mW, it's classified as wireless telephone 3) for transmit power of less than 100mW, it's classified as WLAN.

Environmental-friendly Use Period per China RoHS
Dear Members, Several members have expressed their concerns in regard to the environmental-friendly use period. Please find below the QA for your information. An official Chinese version of the complete QA can be located at http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/06/05/art_722_14805.html http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/06/05/art_722_14805.html. In case your screen doesn't accept Chinese fonts, the first half part of each paragraph is in Chinese, the second half part of each paragraph is the corresponding translation. The translation is not official. FYI. Hard copies of there standards (limits, marking, test method) expect to be available tomorrow, according to the publisher. Best Regards, Grace === 十六、问：什么是电子信息�� 品环保使用期限？环保使用�� 限是否等同于安全使用期限？ ��何确定某产品的环保使用期� �？环保使用期限是否要政府审批？ 16. Question : What is the environmental-friendly use period of electronic information products? Is environmental-friendly use period identical to the safety use period? How to determine environmental-friendly use period? Does it need to be approved by the government? 答：电子信息产品环保使用期 ��特指环境质量安全的期限，� �指电子信息产品中含有有毒�� 害物质或元素不致发生外泄从 ��对环境造成污染或对人身、� �产造成严重损害的期限。环�� 使用期限不等于安全使用期限 ��不包含因电性能安全、电磁� �全等方面因素所限定的使用�� 限。环保使用期限可以小于也 ��以大于产品的安全使用期限。 Answer: Environmental-friendly use period of electronic information products specifically refers to the environmental quality safety period. This only refers to the period that toxic and hazardous substances or elements in electronic information products do not leak to pollute the environment or harm human beings and properties. The environmental-friendly use period is not identical to the safety use period. It does not include the period limited (regulated) by electric safety, electromagnetic safety, etc.The environmental-friendly use period can be shorter or longer than the safety use period. 为了对消费者和制造商负责以 ��实现保护环境的目的，电子 ��息产品环保使用期限的规定 ��必要的，也是有益的。电子� �息产品的环保使用期限由制�� 商或进口商自行制定，主要考 ��到企业对自己生产的产品比� �清楚，更容易制定出产品合�� 而科学的环保使用期限。企业 ��定自己产品的安全使用期限� �，将承担的责任时间要长，�� 果制定的期限短，则失去一定 ��市场竞争力，因此，企业必� �客观、科学地制定自己产品�� 安全使用期限。对于超过环保 ��用期限的产品应该进入废弃� �节，进行回收、处理和再利�� ，否则将可能发生有害物质的 ��漏或渗透。当然，环保使用� �限是在产品正常环境下的环�� 使用期限，而非极端环境下的环保使用期限。 For the purpose of responsible for consumers and manufacturers and protect environment, it is necessary to regulate the environmental-friendly use period and it is beneficial. A manufacturer or an importer sets the environmental-friendly use period of electronic information products by itself. This is based on the consideration that enterprises know their own products and are easier to set a reasonable and scientific environmental-friendly use period. If an enterprise sets the environmental-friendly use period of its products too long, it takes longer responsibility. If an enterprise sets the environmental-friendly use period of its products too short, it loses its market competition. Hence, an enterprise must be optimistic and scientific to set the environmental-friendly use period of its products. For those products exceeding the environmental-friendly use period, they should be entering the waste cycle, recycling, process and reuse. Otherwise, the toxic and hazardous substances may leak or penetrate. Of course, environmental-friendly use period is the environmental-friendly use period under normal environment of products. It is not the environmental-friendly use period under extreme environment. 在中国，与信息产业有关的行 ��协会有几十个，几乎涵盖了� �有的电子信息产品，每个协�� 对本行业产品的平均技术有一 ��比较清晰的了解，同时又是� �表整个行业，而非某一个企�� ，因此，由行业协会制定本行 ��产品的安全使用期限的指导� �见具有一定的科学性和客观�� 。信息产业部鼓励这些行业将 ��定的安全使用期限到信息产� �部备案，主要是为了便于了�� 行业的整体情况以及实现对行业的监管。 In China, there are tens of industrial organizations related to the information industry. They almost cover all the electronic information products. Each organization has a better understanding of its products. An organization represents the whole industry, not a particular enterprise. Therefore, the advisory comments provided by the industrial organizations are scientific and optimistic. Ministry of Information Industry (MII) encourages these industrial organizations submitting the environmental-friendly use period for its industrial products. 环保使用期限不需要政府审批。 The environmental-friendly use period does not need to be approved by the government. __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

China RoHS News
The review process of the three major standards for the China RoHS has been completed. These three standards are going to be promulgated. They are: Marking for the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products (电子信息产品污染控制标识要求 ) Requirements for Concentration Limits for Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic Information Products ( 电� �信息产品中有毒有害物质的限量要求 ) Test Method (disassembly method) of toxic and hazardous materials in electronic information products ( 电� �信息产品中有毒有害物质的检测方法) MII, the leading government agent of China RoHS, hosted a meeting for the Interpretation of the three standards of pollution control of electronic information products ( 电子信息产品污染控制三大标准解读) Nov. 7-8, 2006. The following link listed the meeting agenda: http://219.141.209.201/admeetting/meetting1/cooperate.asp http://219.141.209.201/admeetting/meetting1/cooperate.asp . A QA in regard to this topic has been posted at: http://www.ccd.com.cn/Cnews/html/20061109/200611991710-1.Html http://www.ccd.com.cn/Cnews/html/20061109/200611991710-1.Html. Following is excerpt from the QA post. Q:Is an enterprise given a grace period of one year to comply with (the marking standard)? ( 对产品进� �准确标识需要时间，标准在�� 布之日起实施让企业难以操作 ��是否可以给企业留出一年的过渡期 ？) A: The marking standard is a recommend standard. Itself is not a mandatory standard. However, this is the standard referred by the Administrative Measure. The Administrative Measure is mandatory. When the Administrative Measure takes effect (March 1, 2007), this standard become mandatory. Q:Need consuming products such as printer heads and toner cartridges be marked? How about batteries? ( 对 ��复印机用的硒鼓、墨盒等消� �品是否需要标识？电池类产品是否需要标识 ？) A: Yes, they are categorized as electronic information products. Q:For cellular phones, the nameplates are normally located in the bettwery compartment. Can the mark be in this location? ( 手机产品的铭牌一般在电池仓 ��，标识可否同铭牌一样，标注在这个位置上 ？) A: Yes. Q:Can the names and contents of the toxic and hazardous materials be posted on the enterprise' web site or included in the electronic copy of the instruction manual? ( 是否可以在�� 子版产品说明书或企业网站上 ��供有毒有害物质的名称和含量？) A: Due to the unpopularity of Internet access in China, the above-mentioned methods are auxiliary, not primary. Please let me know if you have any questions.

China CNCA 2006 Notice No 30
Dear Members, In response to the revised frequency allocation promulgated by the MII last month, CNCA has adjusted its CCC requirements for security products. The text of the Notice can be found at: http:/ www.cnca.gov.cn/cnca/zwxx/ggxx/6734.shtml http://www.cnca.gov.cn/cnca/zwxx/ggxx/6734.shtml. A comparison table is attached to this Notice, which can be found at: http://www.cnca.gov.cn/cnca/zwxx/ggxx/images/20061108/622.doc http://www.cnca.gov.cn/cnca/zwxx/ggxx/images/20061108/622.doc. The first column of the comparison table lists the implementation rule applied. The second column lists requirements AFTER the adjustment (new requirements per the revised frequency allocation). The third column lists requirement before the adjustment (old requirements per the original frequency allocation). Two implementation rules are affected: CNCA-10C-047: 2004 and CNCA-10C-053: 2004.

China Frequency Allocation Lab Accreditation
To Those Who Are Interested In: The Ministry of Information Industry of the People's Republic of China (MII) has posted Order No. 40 and 41 to its web site at http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_2001_26600.html http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_2001_26600.html. The MII Order No. 40 ( http://www.mii. ov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_524_26635.html http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_524_26635.html ) is for the revised frequency allocation table. This order replaces the one promulgated November 12, 2001. It takes effect immediately after the promulgation (October 16, 2006). The frequency allocation table can be found at http://www.mii.gov.cn/module/download/ own1.jsp?filepath=http://www.mii.gov.cn/attach/105/061031094254678.pdf http://www.mii.gov.cn/module/download/d wn1.jsp?filepath=http://www.mii.gov.cn/attach/105/061031094254678.pdf. There are four columns in the frequency allocation table. The first three columns are for China's frequency allocation. The first column is for China Inland ( 中国内地). The second column is for China Macao ( 中国澳门). The third column is for China Hong Kong ( 中国香港). The last column is for ITU Region 3. For those who cannot read Chinese, an easy way to read the table is by comparison. If the frequency you are interested in looks the same as the last column's (ITU Region 3), you can read from an English version of the frequency allocation table for ITU Region 3. FCC Part 2.106 contains this information. The MII Order No. 41 ( http://www.mii. ov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_524_26633.html http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/10/31/art_524_26633.html ) is for laboratory accreditation. I think this is for labs located in China (since the application form is in Chinese, and agents for NAL must hold Chinese business license and locate in China). If you are interested in, you may contact your people or agent(s) in China for detail. An application form can be found at http://www.mii.gov.cn/module/download/ own1.jsp?filepath=http://www.mii.gov.cn/attach/105/061031112524896.doc http://www.mii.gov.cn/module/download/d wn1.jsp?filepath=http://www.mii.gov.cn/attach/105/061031112524896.doc.

wireless product with audio for China market
Hi Group Our product is a PDA with bluetooth WLAN capability. It has a built-in speaker, mic input and headset. I was told that China will not issue certificate for such wireless product with audio feature. I'm trying to find all possible info I can but I could not find such regulation. But my agency insists that there is regulation in China. Anybody can shed a light on this? Thanks and Regards Kyaw ___ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

Automotive ESAs in China containing a transmitter
Hello all, My employer manufactures automotive electronics sub-assemblies (ESA) with an integrated Bluetooth transmitter. Recently, one of our customers has requested we go through the necessary regulatory steps to make our product compliant with Chinese Import/Export regulations. There are two situations where I am looking for feedback. In both situations the product/ESA would be provided only to an OEM for fitment into an automobile and never available for the consumer to purchase. (Not directly placed on the market) In the first situation the product/ESA is fitted into an automobile manufactured outside of China. The entire vehicle is then imported into China. It is my understanding/interpretation that in this instance only the Bluetooth transmitter needs approval. The reasoning being that the device would be included in the vehicle when it goes through the proper test process. The question being is it possible for representatives of the manufacturer to be present during testing to make sure the product is in the correct mode? So, is anyone familiar with this process for Bluetooth transmitters? What types of tests and test modes would the product need to support in comparison to EN 300 328. As of this moment, the product needs quite a bit of hand-holding or the use of expensive test equipment in order to jump through all of the modes required for EN 300 328. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth SIG site outlines only the process for type approval; we'd like to avoid Type approval if possible given our volumes relative to the cost involved. The second situation involves importation of the product/ESA into China for fitment into an automobile being manufactured in China. It is my fear that Type approval (including factory inspections,etc) is needed in this instance. Is this true for automotive products? I'm not looking for an end all answer just thought it might serve for a good discussion. Jeremy Bos, NCE, P.E.

Preliminary Posting - Compliance Engineer - RadiSys - Shanghai, China
Greetings listmates, This is a preliminary notice that RadiSys will be seeking preliminary applications for a compliance engineer in Shanghai, China to help our design engineering teams ace their safety, EMC and environmental test requirements. The formal req for this position is not posted yet and likely won't be until mid-to-late July, as it's currently being reviewed by the League of Nations and the FIFA central officiating committee (and they're a bit busy right now). The start date will be dependent upon when it's signed off and posted and how long it takes to find qualified candidates, but I would hope to have someone starting in August or early September. There is a similar posting on our website at http://www.radisys.com/careers for the more senior opening we have in Portland, Oregon, USA right now. To view it, select Employment Opportunities to get to the postings or browse through the other entries to get a broader sense about RadiSys. RadiSys is a manufacturer of embedded computer systems - so we deal primarily with 60950 for safety evaluations and 55022/24 for EMC. If these numbers make sense to you and you know that 60950-1 does not equal 60949, then we're probably on the same page. Our products are typically integrated into our customers' systems, so we frequently have a broader range of requirements that we're working toward, as well. Being able to work with customers directly will be very helpful - especially when they don't have compliance folks on staff and you have to explain to them that it's not reasonable to ship a black hole with each unit to ensure the radiated emissions are below limits - so the work you do actually DOES have value. The successful candidate will also be responsible for overseeing all CCC and other country-specific approvals in Asia. We're looking for someone with at least five years of experience - ideally someone who has experience working with both certification labs and design engineers on similar products. It would be really helpful if this person had the uncanny ability for all of the products they test to pass, but since that's so hard to independently verify, I'll settle for the more conventional approach of being able to evaluate designs against the requirements, work with engineering teams to ensure their designs meet or exceed these requirements and testing just to make sure everything was done correctly. Any work on developing a tabletop cold fusion solution will have to happen on your own time. Candidates must be fluent in both written and spoken Chinese and English. The ability to speak Esperanto is interesting, but likely not relevant to this position. If this doesn't look like your thing, but you know someone for whom it might sound like a nice break from their daily grind, please either pass this along to them or drop me a note with their contact information. In accordance with list policy, please address questions or comments to me individually.

Re: China mandatory certification for WLAN
The CNCA-11C-048 is an implementation rule for WLAN. CNCA doesn't issue an English version after the first 47 implementations. There is no official English version for this implementation rule. An easy and cheap way is to find a Chinese colleague or friend around you to explain what inside there. Every implementation rule has a similar format. You can download any English version of implementation rule ( http:/ www.cnca.gov.cn/col227/index.htm1?id=227, not for CNCA-11C-048 ) to get an idea how the format is. The main concern you may have is the protocol. If you need more detail, take a look at http://www.evaluationengineer ng.com/archive/articles/0804/0804emc_app.asp . You can download GB standards from SAC referred link. Download instruction can be found at www.graspllc.com, under Resources. I hope this helps.

China RoHS - Limits (Draft)
Greetings All, Many members have expressed their concerns in regard to the maximum permissive limits for hazardous substances set by China. Thanks to Michael Kirschner of Design Chain Associates' help, I put together the following information for your reference. The standard for the limits is in Requirements for Concentration Limits for Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic Information Products. A draft copy of this standard in Chinese can be found at http://www.b2bic.com/pics/fagui2_rohs11.pdf (this is a non-government web site). This standard classifies electronic information products (EIP) into four (4) types: EIP-A, EIP-B, EIP-C, and EIP-D. A definition for each type is stated in Table 1 under Section 4.1. Limits for each type of EIP are shown in Table 2, under Section 4.2. Exemptions under EU RoHS can be found under EIP-D of Table 2. I translated Section 4 and pasted below for your convenience. Best regards, Grace Lin Grace Compliance Specialist New Jersey, USA grace...@graspllc.com www.graspllc.com http://www.graspllc.com/ 4. Technical Requirements Electronic information products consist of assemblies, components, and materials. The basic unit is material. For the purpose of controlling the use of hazardous substances, these units are classified based on Table 1. If there is a duplicate or conflict of types, the priority is: EIP-D, EIP-A, EIP-B, EIP-C. This means if a product can be a type of EIP-A, it cannot be categorized as EIP-B or EIP-C. Each material or part in electronic information products must meet technical requirements, see Table 2 for detail. 4.1 Classification of Materials (Unit) in Electronic Information Products Table 1 Classification of Materials in Electronic Information Products Types Definition EIP-A Each homogeneous material in electronic information products EIP-B Metal plated materials in each part of electronic information products EIP-C Small components or materials that cannot be separated under current condition. A general rule is for specification less than or equal to 1.2mm3 (note: equal to 0805 sheet components) EIP-D Special materials or special parts in electronic information products. See Table 2 for the detail. 4.2 Requirements for Concentration Limits for Hazardous Substance A manufacturer shall classify its materials based on Table 1, and control the content of hazardous substances to meet limit requirement in Table 2.Test organizations of electronic information products shall disassembly a product to the types listed in Table 1, then perform test to determine if Table 2 requirement is met. Table 2 Requirements for Concentration Limits for Hazardous Substances Types Concentration Limits for Hazardous Substances (For those requirements with quantity, the unit is wt%) EIP-A For homogeneous materials, the content of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (not including decabromo diphenyl) should not over 0.1%. The content of cadmium should not over 0.01%. EIP-B In this type of products, lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, etc. hazardous substances cannot be added intentionally or use. EIP-C For homogeneous materials, the content of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (not including decabromo diphenyl) should not over 0.1%. The content of cadmium should not over 0.01%. EIP-D Mercury in compact fluorescent lamp not exceeding 5mg per lamp. Mercury for a general purpose straight fluorescent lamp not exceeding: halophosphate 10mg, triphosphate with normal lifetime 5mg, triphosphate with long lifetime 8mg. Mercury in straight fluorescent lamps for special purposes. Mercury in other special lamps. Lead in glass of cathode ray tubes, electronic components and fluorescent tubes. Lead as an alloying element in steel containing up to 0,35% lead by weight, aluminum containing up to 0,4% lead by weight and as a copper alloy containing up to 4% lead by weight. Lead in high melting temperature type solders, not limit lead in exceeding 85%; Not limit lead in solders for servers, storage and storage array systems; Not limit lead in solders for network infrastructure equipment for switching, signaling, transmission as well as network management for telecommunication; Not limit lead in electronic ceramic parts No limit for the use of Cadmium and its compounds in electrical contacts and cadmium plating No limit for the use of hexavalent chromium as an anti-corrosion of the carbon steel cooling system in absorption refrigerators. No limit for lead used in pin type crimp connectors. No limit for the use lead as a surface coating material for the thermal conduction module c-ring.

Re: China RoHS law
Hello all, Please join us for the monthly meeting of the IEEE-EMCS SCV Chapter on Tuesday March 14, 2006. Food and beverages are provided. The meeting will start at 5:30 PM with a social, followed by a presentation by Mr. Michael Heckrotte on The New FCC Regulations on Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz WLAN band. The announcements for potential open positions in the field of EMC and SI will be made at the meeting commencement. Below, please find the detailed meeting announcement and the speaker's bio. Regards, Oscar Fallah Secretary ___ IEEE/EMC Society Meeting March 14, 2006 Time: Social 5:30 p.m. Presentation 7:00 p.m. Place: Applied Materials Bowers Cafeteria 3090 Bowers Ave. , Santa Clara, CA 95051-0804 Subject: Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz WLAN bands – The New FCC Regulations Speaker: Michael Heckrotte Abstract: Two years ago the FCC opened up the spectrum from 5470 to 5725 MHz and allocated this band for dual use. The existing licensed users will continue to be primary and the new unlicensed users are secondary, hence the unlicensed users must not interfere with the licensed users. The primary users are typically radar systems, while the secondary users are expected to consist mainly of Wireless Local Area Network transceivers. In order to provide the necessary spectrum protection, a WLAN must first listen on the intended channel of operation to determine if any nearby radar is currently operating on that channel. The FCC has not yet issued any Grants of Certification for unlicensed devices due to some significant technical issues which have only recently been resolved. This presentation will cover the resolution of these issues, the requirements and test procedures, and the anticipated time line for implementing and releasing the new rules. Speaker Bio: Michael Heckrotte received his B.S. degree in engineering from Harvey Mudd College. Upon graduation he joined Hewlett-Packard and established a career focused on advancing the state of the art of microwave instrumentation and frequency-domain measurement techniques. Mike has since applied his RF and microwave background to specialize in electromagnetic compatibility. He has in-depth experience with a diverse set of product families and their associated regulatory and compliance issues. He has served on a number of US and international standards committees, notably for powered wheelchair EMC and DFS. Mike is currently the Engineering Manager at Compliance Certification Services, which is an independent EMC laboratory that specializes in the testing and certification of wireless radios. CCS has been very involved with DFS testing since 2002, when the first ETSI standard incorporating this requirement was published.

China RoHS Law in English - Revised
Hi Group Members: Michael Kirschner of Design Chain Associates suggested, based on his communication with Chinese government, a better translation for the safety period under Article 3 and 11 of the China's RoHS law, Administrative Measure for the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products. After re-visiting the original Chinese document and discussing with a licensed toxicologist, environment-friendly use period, as suggested by Michael, is a better translation. I revised the web page March 8, 2006. If you made/saved a copy before that day, you may wish to re-do it. Michael, thank you very much for your input. I sincerely appreciate it.

Re: China RoHS law
Dear Peter, Thank you very much for your questions. Following is my personal comments to your questions 1) The limit for toxic and hazardous substances will be included in the test standards to be formulated. To be conservative, Chinese rules would like to have other... added to cover any unexpected issues if any. An advantage for this addition will eliminate revision for the law. For example, in the future if any toxic substance to be added, an appendix referring to this other... rule works. 2) The answers to this question are included in the China RoHS QA which I sent out this morning. The answers can be found from Item 3 and 4 of the defferences between the Administrative Measure and the EU RoHS Directive. 3) Please find the answers from the China RoHS QA regarding two steps' walk. 4) Under currect China compulsory certification rules, in country testing is a requirement. This means during application process, you are required to send product samples to a designated lab to obtain a test report. Ms. Bo and Ms. Lu, please correct me if this is not true any more. 5) I have no answers for these questions at this time. By the way, thank you for pointing out my web site error. I had it corrected this morning.

Re: China RoHS Law in English
Hi Ian, Here is my interpretation based on a phone conversation with a Chinese engineer from one of the CCC certification centers. China will formulate a RoHS Catalogue (list of regulated products). This Catalogue expects to list products item by item (such as using HS codes). A good example is the AQSIQ/CNCA Notice No. 60 (promulgated July 1, 2002) which lists CCC regulated products by HS codes. Take electric toasters as an example. Electric toasters (HS code: 85167200) are CCC regulated products. This doesn't mean all electric toasters are required to be CCC certified. An electric toaster with voltage less than 36V (applies to both AC and DC), OR its capacity is over 10L, this toaster is exempted. There is a high possibility that those current CCC regulated products will have a higher possibility to be included in the RoHS Catalogue. You may encounter a situation that your product is between yes (need certification) and no. Which way to go? The answer depends on the importance between time and money. If time is important (you have to have products delivered before... and you cannot afford to have produsts sit in the Customs), go ahead to have the product certified. If your products are stuck at the Customs, you have to provide a certificate of exemption or exemption certificate (same document, different translation). Someone must submit this application in person. It is not too difficult to obtain it if you have someone near the entry port and/or the CNCA in Beijing. If not, you may not be able to sleep well until the product is released from the Customs (you have to find someone to do this for you and you have to rush it). I hope this helps.
