Immunity Requirements for Australia
Hi everyone, Dose anyone know what the Immunity requirements for Australia are? We are using EN 61326, for ISM equipment, for Europe. We know about the requirements for Emissions, AS /NZS 2064:1997 and that they are the same as EN 55011. Thank you in advance Charlie Martin - This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.

Re: EMC and Safety Requirements for Mexico
Carlos, You will probably need NOM Approval which will require testing in Mexico and a license granted to your distributor. The test fee is very cheap but it is worth the investment to use the services of UL who have a presence in Mexico. Complete documentation and warning markings on equipment must be in Spanish. It helps to have your CE technical file. Lastly, I had a laugh when the test lab (by the way there are various accredited test labs in Mexico, such as NYCE) asked that the Ampere rating on a submitted sample had to be changed from 6.3 A to 6,3 A (ie with a comma) or the two ratings (one with dot and the other with comma) put together. Hope this helps. > > Hello Group, > > Can anyone tell me if CE marking of electrical and electronic products is > acceptable to the Mexican authorities? > > What tests in addition to the ENs would be necessary? > > Many thanks. > > Carlos Perkins. > > > > - > This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list. > To cancel your subscription, send mail to majord...@ieee.org > with the single line: "unsubscribe emc-pstc" (without the > quotes).

RE: Ground Bond Testers
Brian, Be sure you are not imposing tests on yourself that are not required. You may protect against accessible parts becoming live under single fault in one of three ways. Try looking at your product as if you are using double insulation (6.5.2) rather than protective bonding. If you can meet the requirements for 6.5.2 then having grounded enclosure panels and the like is just icing on the cake, and not a compliance point you have to test.

Re: Ground Bond Testers - Continued
Brian, Try this loophole on for size. Depending upon the installation location - it may be necessary (required by law) to perform an earth bond test after installation of the equipment. In such a case, testing at your production site would not guarantee a higher level of safety. After all, the reason for making routine earth bond tests is to confirm proper assembly. I have seen production testing waived by a certifier under these conditions (not a high volume product - known installation locations - report of site testing kept for records). Example: You ship your equipment in sections and then assemble (or provide instructions to assemble) the equipment on site. After assembly the earth bond test is performed. Your customer should have access to the necessary equipment if testing is required.
