Jim Eichner asked if I had subscription inf. etc. for the mag. Test &
Measurement Europe. I'm afraid I don't, only the pages of the article were
mailed to me, by Chase USA! However, my previous e-mail asked for help
here, and I have now noticed that the article's author David Marsh, can be
contacted at 101453.2...@compuserve.com
Hope this helps

Re: EMC REGULATIONS IN TAIWAN
Yes it is correct, but you can get your lab accredited. Craig __ Reply Separator _ Subject: EMC REGULATIONS IN TAIWAN Author: owner-emc-p...@mail.ieee.org at dell_unix List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date:6/5/97 4:26 PM Greetings everyone! I have read in the Compliance Engineering 1997 Reference Guide (and I'm sure that most of you have, too) that Taiwan is implementing EMC regulations which require a type-approval certificate from the Bureau of Commodity Inspection and Quarantine (BCIQ) for just about any electronic product. According to the article, only emissions are covered at this time and, like other countries entering the EMC regulation arena, the IEC/CISPR standards are being copied. However, the article also states that the BCIQ presently only accepts test data from BCIQ accredited laboratories and that these laboratories only exist in Taiwan. (Does this sound like protectionism?) They are apparently phasing in mandatory compliance for different product categories: January 1, 1997 for copiers, July 1, 1997 for ITE, fax machines, TV's/radios, January 1, 1998 for appliances, phones and audio equipment, and July 1, 1998 for everything else. Question #1: Can anyone confirm that the above information is still accurate (i.e. that the situation hasn't changed since the article was written)? Question #2: Does anyone know if there is a "grace period" for products already being marketed in Taiwan? Question #3: Can anyone give us an idea how difficult it may be to obtain the BCIQ type-approval certificate? Thank you. __ Jim HulbertTel:203-924-3621 Senior Engineer - EMC Fax:203-924-3352 Pitney Bowes email: hulbe...@pb.com P.O. Box 3000 35 Waterview Drive Shelton, CT 06484-8000 U.S.A.
RE: EMC REGULATIONS IN TAIWAN
Hi Jim, I have actively pursuing info on the BCIQ & would be happy to share what I have "unearthed". Most of this information is as a result of conversation with an officer at the BCIQ. > Question #1: Can anyone confirm that the above information is still > accurate (i.e. that the situation hasn't changed since the article was > written)? The situation IS accurate. > > Question #2: Does anyone know if there is a "grace period" for > products already being marketed in Taiwan? There is NO "grace period per se. However, if your product is physically IN Taiwan ROC BEFORE the requisite date (e.g. in a warehouse) then you may install the product after the date WITHOUT accreditation. You will not be able to import product INTO Taiwan ROC AFTER that date. > > Question #3: Can anyone give us an idea how difficult it may be to > obtain the BCIQ type-approval certificate? > The BCIQ have provided some relief. The BCIQ have a "temporary" EME lab accredidation process. If the lab is NVLAP approved, then they will grant a one year temporary accrediadation for the lab. This is a paperwork exercise and should take 2-3 weeks. Now, after the lab has the accreditation, you make use data from that lab as a submittal for your product. I have also been told that you may use data taken PRIOR to the lab accreditation as long as the test report from the lab is dated AFTER the accreditation. "Type approval" certification should take 3-4 weeks AFTER receipt at the BCIQ. Oh by the way they do NOT like to do buisness DIRECTLY with a manufacturer. You will need some kind of lab/consulting service in Taipai to talk with the BCIQ. I was politely moved off in that direction!! >They have a website.

T and M Europe Magazine
Here's the feedback from 2 sources: Jim, The EMC test chamber feature ran in Test & Measurement Europe Magazine, April/May 1997 issue. The focus was on low cost cells so they're all basically TEM cells, costing around L20k. Some interesting developments from companies like Wayne Kerr extend the usefulness of classical TEM cells, using dual septu arrangements.

ESD - Membrane switches and LCD Displays
I am looking for some guidance on the following construction: We have a remote control panel that contains an LCD display (approx. 2" x 1") mounted on a circuit board behind a metal panel. An opening in the metal panel allows the user to see the screen, and is only marginally larger than the display. Over the metal panel is a laminated label containing some membrane switches. All the circuit traces for the membrane switches are approx. 1/2" or more from the edges of the label, and are contained in the bottom layer of the label (ie one layer of plastic between them and the metal panel). The ribbon cable from the membrane switch to the pwb is routed through a hole in the metal panel. There is a clear plastic window in the label allowing viewing of the LCD and that window is more or less touching the glass face of the LCD display. We don't want to recess the LCD because of viewing angle problems. We are subject to 8kV air discharge and 6kV contact discharge. 1. Does this construction sound like an ESD test failure waiting to happen? 2. Does it make any difference whether or not there is an air space between the clear plastic window in the label and the glass face of the LCD display? Should we recess the LCD, and if so, by how much? 3. Are there preferred materials for any of the layers of the membrane switch label? 4. Any hints anyone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: EMC REGULATIONS IN TAIWAN
So, Craig, are you saying that it is possible for a lab outside of Taiwan to be accredited? I think that I'll see if my favorite EMC lab has the BCIQ accredation. Steve Chin StreamLogic Corp.

Re: ESD Testing in the Production Lines
I' m sure many people have experienced faults in ESD testing, so that they are not a good habit in production lines. I also experienced rare faults in testing some equipment to the EFT/B (IEC 1000-4-4) at test levels of 500V to signal output lines. Sometimes in fact the op. amps. connected to the ouput appeared to be damaged but only after some days. Did any of you experienced anything similar ? - All what above is only my opinion and thus probably wrong! :-) Alessandro Agostini Italponti Firenze (Italy)
