RE: Harmonized Standard

Kirk,
In Europe the harmonized standards for GSM/GPRS are contained in the
Official Journal of the European Communities dated 9.3.2002  ref 2002/C
62/03.
I recommend you strongly to get your product approved by the Global
Certification Forum which has requirements far more above the RTTE
directive.
Visit the GCF site for more details : http://gcf.gsm.org/

Metro Ethernet and Approval

2003-04-08 Thread Andre, Pierre-Marie
Hi there ,

By looking at the  http://www.metroethernet.org www.metroethernet.org 

I have been reading some recent information about “Ethernet” technology as
metropolitan Ethernet.

In the following article :   http://www.vnunet.com/News/1139377
http://www.vnunet.com/News/1139377

 

“The completion of Metro Ethernet service specifications in August this year
may accelerate the take-up of the technology by telecoms carriers, leading to
a wider range of cheaper, faster, more reliable wide area network (Wan)
services becoming available to corporates. “

Can somebody give me some light about the future work for approval ?

Can we think reasonably that the new technology “Metro Ethernet” will
require approval as it could extend a LAN to a WAN ?

Thanks to share your thoughts

Dark Fiber and Regulation

2003-03-20 Thread Andre, Pierre-Marie
Hi there,

Could somebody bring some light (!) on the so called “Dark Fiber” offering.

Here is one definition I found :

Dark fiber is optical fiber infrastructure (cabling and repeaters) that is
currently in place but is not being used. Optical fiber conveys information in
the form of light pulses so the dark means no light pulses are being sent

Dark fiber service is service provided by local exchange carriers (LECs) for
the maintenance of optical fiber transmission capacity between customer
locations in which the light for the fiber is provided by the customer rather
than the LEC. 

My question :

The LAN product I am looking for regulation is conform to IEEE 802.3z,so the
interface have been defined.

Is there any standards or technical specifications for the “Dark Fiber”
infrastructure ?

Should I ask to each Dark Fiber Provider to get this info ? 

Best regards

RE2: Dark Fiber and Regulation

2003-03-18 Thread Andre, Pierre-Marie
Marko,

Thanks for your comments.

My understanding is that a “Dark Fiber” has an other meaning : a service
offered by a Telco or a service provider to extend the usage of your fiber LAN
for example to increase the distance from one mile to 100 or more.

In this case the fiber adapter, in my case it is a Gigabit Ethernet, will be
connected to a leased line belonging to a Telco or a Service provider.

So I would think as far as compliance some countries could require a Telecom
approval on top of the EMC/Safety.

Right ?

Pierre-Marie,

 

There is no distinction between Dark and Lit fiber as far as standards
compliance. I suspect that you will find the majority of dark fiber isn't
actually dark but certain (DWDM) wavelengths on it are lit (in-use) and others
are dark (not in-use). For example on a particular link, 5 DWDM channels may
be in-use while 35 are dark.

 

If you are meeting the appropriate IEEE 802.3x spec, I don't know of anything
further that you would need to do.

Dave,

My position was based on my particular interface (in this case also E1)
and, based on my interpretation, concluded that it does not fall under the
scope of the RTTE Directive.  Based on your examples below, I can see that
apparently there are PSTN interfaces that can be classified as SELV.  We
definitely seem to have a divided field here.  I've seen posts stating
Absolutely RTTE as well as Absolutely not RTTE.

Is there anyone out there who was involved in the draft of the RTTE
that can comment on the intent?

Thx,

Joe,

Maybe I have missed something here but how does the TNV-X vs SELV from a
safety perspective define if the product falls under the RTTE Directive?

Many telcom interfaces are SELV from a safety perspective and clearly fall
under the RTTE Directive. For example; V.11/V.24/V.35/X.21 when connected
to WAN services via a CSU/DSU and ISDN Basic Rate S/T.

Also, I believe Peter's original post stated intrabuilding and did not state
it was CO equipment. In any case there are expectations and I believe you
are going to spend more time trying to justify why you did not declare to
the RTTE than if you just do it. Again because of expectations I would have
a TBR12/13 test report to back up the declaration even if it's no longer
mandatory. NOTE: meeting the over voltage requirements of these standards
has nothing to do with the classification of the port from a safety
standpoint since the surges are applied to the AC mains (not even applicable
ifDC powered)

RE: Regulatory General Discussion : ouput of Compliance group

thanks you for your inputs.
The good argument is really in the FULL implication of the Compliance group 
in the design process right ? with full power to sign off the design changes

Well, I'd hate to let the dirty little secret out of the bag for those
of
us who would fall under such and evaluation.  Important in such an
evaluation would be that the company has allowed the compliance
engineer to have significant input to the design/mfring processes.

I've been in companies where evaluations from the compliance
engineer amounted to nothing more than a suggestion.  Very
frustrating.  Other places had the compliance engineer greatly
involved as a signatory in product release and with ECR/ECOs.

Start with an ideal world where the compliance engineer has
complete planning, budgeting, signatory/approval powers with
the complete product cycle from prototype-to-product release-to
product obsolescence.  Consider that as the complete model.
Then, as the person has less and less involvement/approval
power in those areas, they are thus less responsible for them
and thus, they are not to be evaluated in those areas.

You'll probably find the typical compliance engineer ends up
in reality scheduling tests w/no approval powers, has input to
ECR/ECOs but no signatory powers, inputs into product
design by way of memos, sometimes are the last to know about
significant design changes, and might answer to someone who
knows little about compliance engineering.

IMO, evaluation would be difficult.

Regulatory General Discussion : ouput of Compliance group

2001-12-12 Thread Andre, Pierre-Marie
Hi there,
A few days ago there was some very interesting discussions about the
Compliance groups among companies.
A lot of ideas came out very clearly like do a company needs a centralized
regulatory group,how to fund it,how to explain our 
regulatory tasks (quite complex !),how to structure it.
Some extracts of the previous discussions :

 RE: Quality
Assurance and product approvals 


Unless the role of the Compliance group is very narrow and involves only
support of one function (which I doubt), I feel that an independent
Compliance group is essential. It should be functionally independent to any
other group and reporting to the MD, or, reporting to the QA
Director/Manager. This will mean you can realistically argue for adequate
resouces to do a professional job for all those groups requiring your
services. You will have somebody independent at the right level in the
organisation supporting the Compliance group - essential when $$$ are
involved. Let's face it, no RD Manager is going to approve headcount for a
2nd Compliance Engineer whose primary function is to do audits of the
production facility to ensure critical components are controlled as they
should, and, to support Sales/Marketing to achieve product approvals
worldwide. 
(To bring this back to procedures/process) There also needs to be a
'document' which highlights: 
1. What services the Compliance group offer; 
2. The inputs (from other groups) required, and the outputs to be expected
from each service; 
3. Turnaround time (this will never be 100% accurate) 
With a document such as this published it raises awareness among each of the
functions that the Compliance group do have organisation-wide
responsibilites and are not at the beck and call of just one group. It
forces them to plan for compliance also. It gives the Compliance group more
credibility and visibility


I still have some question about the output of such a group.Since we are
only producing a so called Type Approval
it appears for some people that we are measured with the number of Type
Approval granted.
But this measurement is un realistics since some approval require 6 months
effort whereas others require only a few days !
In others words the measurement must include the difficulty and complexity
of the approval. 
So has anybody some thoughts or argument on the measurement or evaluation of
an Compliance Group  ?


many thanks for your help

I think the point raised by Gary re: where the Compliance group fits into
the organisation structure is more important than procedures/process,
although I disagree with him about where that should be. Let me explain. 
 
Having a good working relationship with Engineering is indeed critical,
however from my experience I believe it essential for the Compliance group
to be organisationally independent of Engineering. If not, then there are
always conflicts of interest when allocating the (usually limited)
Compliance resources between:
 
Engineering - there are 4 design reviews this week and preparation required
for a safety pre-compliance test next week;
Operations  - the agency auditor is visiting next week and there is some
prep needed;
Sales/Marketing - the Russian approval is expiring in 2 weeks and you need
to re-apply, prepare doc pack, 
etc.
 
How do you prioritise without getting slack from at least one functional
head ?? Obviously if the Compliance group is actually a group and not just 1
or 2 persons, then with a good understanding of the roles amongst the group
members the above does not really pose a problem. However I do NOT believe
this is the case, particularly in the current climate of lay-offs, with us
Compliance folk are becoming less essential.
 
Unless the role of the Compliance group is very narrow and involves only
support of one function (which I doubt), I feel that an independent
Compliance group is essential. It should be functionally independent to any
other group and reporting to the MD, or, reporting to the QA

Hi colleagues,
I am not sure this subject is part of this forum.
Are the ISO 9000:2000 standards available on line ? I would appreciate at
least some overview.
Looking at

some views
but not enough.

Richard and everyone

The directives do not apply in Switzerland and therefore the CE marking has
no legal significance.  As far as EMC is concerned, Switzerland has its own
laws including the Law of Electricity 1902, The Law of Telecommunications
1991, the Law of Broadcasting 1991, and Ordinance SR 734, Article 4 of
which
contains EMC provisions.  This was the position when I last checked in
detail a couple of years ago.  I am not aware of any changes, but perhaps
one of the list members from Switzerland could update us if anything has
changed recently, and on other provisions such as safety.

 The three EFTA countries which are parties to the European Economic

 as if they were members of the EU.  Although Switzerland is an EFTA

 it did not join the others in EEA membership.
