Billions and billions.

G/Y/B for 'extended producer responsibility' and 'take back'.

Many states in Estados Unidos de America y Canada have take-back laws, as do 
many Latin American and Asian states. The Klingon home world has no WEEE-type 
laws.

Takeback varies from jurisdiction to Jurisdiction.

Re: [PSES] Categorizing a new product

2013-11-21 Thread Brian Oconnell
There is also BS1363-1. For your SPD components, look at the EN61643-x stuff. 
And can think of several component standards that should be looked at - but 
would be dependent on your design.

Somewhat similar products made by Dehn, their spec sheets probably have some 
standards listed.

And my employer would be very interested in your product - so let the group 
know when your stuff is released.

Subject: [PSES] Categorizing a new product

Dear Regulatory Wizards, 
I've been asked to provide the regulatory scope for a product type which is new 
to me, and I'd appreciate if you could provide me with a sanity check. We are 
considering Safety and EMC for Europe only here, of course other 
Directives(RoHS 2, REACH, WEEE, etc.) will apply. A CB report may be considered 
for additional countries, as required.

The product is a small device which is intended to plug into the mains via a 
supply cord, and, in turn, provides a socket for another piece of mains 
operated equipment. 
The function of the device is to pass mains power through, and provide under- 
and over-Voltage protection by disconnecting the mains under extreme 
conditions(using a relay). It automatically re-connects the mains when Voltage 
returns to the normal range. It may also provide some surge protection. This 
device will be intended for use with small industrial appliances with input 
ratings of 100-250V, 50/60Hz, drawing maximum normal currents of less than 12A.
This device is designed to prevent damage to the attached product only, the 
product itself is compliant with current standards for Europe and North 
America. 

Using my friend Google(thanks Brian O.), I've arrived at two European safety 
standards which seem applicable:

EN 60255-27 :2005 Measuring relays and protection equipment - Part 27: Product 
safety requirements
EN 50550-2011 Power frequency overvoltage protective device for household and 
similar applications (POP)
Additionally, 
- plugs and sockets will comply with EN 60320-1. 
- if not specified within these standards, spacings will comply with EN60664-1. 

For EMC immunity and emissions:
EN 61326-1:2006 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory 
use - EMC requirements - Part 1: General requirements 

Please provide your comments. Am I missing anything? If not, I'll purchase my 
standards, and begin the process. 
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards, 
Brian C.

TO,OB (did you really mean that?) –



There are a number of devices designed for similar uses, but that are for
wiring in.



Example manufacturers include TeleHaase (http://www.tele-online.com),
Lovato Electric (http://www.lovato.co.uk/) , ABB (http://www.abb.com/) and
others.  You can peruse their web sites for these devices and get the
flavor of their certifications.  Fair warning, many specs. are not
available in English.
