Re: Vermont Mercury Labeling Law
Richard, I found the website for the State of Vermont with the info you are looking. www.leg.state.vt.us/statutes/title10/06621d.htm Items to be labeled are: (1) A thermostat or thermometer. (2) A switch, individually or as part of another product. (3) A medical or scientific instrument. (4) An electric relay or other electrical device. (5) A lamp. (6) A battery, sold to the public, other than a button battery. Subject:Vermont Mercury Labeling Law To: emc-p...@ieee.org Copies to: From: Richard Pittenger pitt...@pmifeg.com Date sent: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 09:22:12 -0500 Send reply to: Richard Pittenger pitt...@pmifeg.com Hello Group: The State of Vermont has a labeling law becoming effective 3-1-2000 which requires products which contain mercury-containing components to be labeled as such and direct the customer/servicer to properly dispose of such components at the time of replacement. I understand that fluorescent lighting tubes contain mercury and that NEMA and several mfgs. of such tubes have won a lawsuit against Vermont which puts off, at least, the effective date for marking such lighting tubes. Does anyone in the group know if this ruling affects mfgs. of equipment that use fixtures containing fluorescent tubes? Or will such appliances, etc., still need to be marked with the disposal warning as of 3-1-2000? Thanks for any info you have on this subject.

EN61000-4-11
EN 61000-4-11 states that the rise/fall time for a test generator used to perform a voltage abnormalities test (i.e. dips, variations etc should be between 1 and 5 microseconds.) Does anyone know of a generator that meets this criterion? I have come across a few but they typically cannot be programmed to work with rise/fall times less than 0.1 milliseconds(i.e. 100 microseconds). Thanks for your usual co-operation. John F.

Non lead solder Arrrrrrgh
Mark, Thank you for your informative and humorous posting. May I take the opportunity of asking to be kept informed re the lead-free solder debate? Like you I worry about silver leaching, and more. Incidently, my father is/was a (master) plumber, so he knows a thing or two about soldering, and has come to my rescue on more than one occasion, e.g. by sweating a lead pipe to a copper one until the water board could turn up to make the final connection (ten weeks later!). Regards Peter Lewis Who knows what you get back when you press button-B Message text written by Mark As a supplement to the recent lead thread, the latest issue of Electronics Manufacturing Products (a UK trade paper) has a minor headline It's tin-silver-copper. The Printed Circuit Interconnect Federation and International Tin Research Institute have apparently chosen to recommend Sn-Ag-Cu as a general multipurpose replacement for tin-lead for hand, wave and surface mount soldering, as well as in difficult products. Six UK solder suppliers are backing it, as well as the IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) (?!) and National Electronics Manufacturing Industries. The final interesting point is that the chosen alloys can be used to solder components/PCBs with tin lead finishes. Having had problems with silver leaching in the past, I have filled in the paper's bingo style enquiry card to find out more, as they say. But it does seem that the soldering industry is quite a long way down the road to getting rid of lead, in the UK at least. If anyone's still interested in the subject, I'll post more when I get some information.

RE: Fiber optics Issue
Carmen, I'm not familiar with IEC 65, but for EN 60950 an attachment of a laser safety report to the EN 60950 report is typical. There is no requirement in IEC 825 (a.k.a. EN 60825)for use of a 'certified' laser lab. But as with many specifications, it is to your adavantage to use an independent 3-rd party laboratory, as there would less questions as to impartiality. Also note, that IEC 825 also applies to products that use LED-based optics, not just lasers. For 21 CFR, you MUST file a report with the CDRH for laser products (no LEDs yet in the US). There is a special form that must be completed that forms the report. Additionally, the CDRH requires an 'annual report' which is to be received by them in September.
