RE: CE and/or e-mark for products operated in vehicles
Andeas, I believe that we have to consider the two scenarios :- a) when the vehicle is parked and b) when it is moving. If the vehicle is parked then there should be few safety issues. If the vehicle is moving then there are an additional two scenarios :- a) the PC is operated by the driver and b) the PC operated by a passenger If the driver was operating the laptop then surely the driver would be breaking law by taking their eyes from off the road. If a passenger was operating the laptop then I reckon that the laptop should also comply with 95/54. Because it is impossible to guarantee where, when, how and by whom the laptop is likely to be used then it would seem prudent to err on the side of caution and include 95/54 but I too would be interested in any comments from the group.

RE: Overcurrent Protection for Receptacles
Jim Since it is possible for a Schuko style plug to be connected to a mating socket outlet in one of two positions, it is impossible to ensure that the line-side (ie. LIVE) of the plug will always mate with the Live of the outlet. To ensure complete safety, therefore, it would be necessary to have protection in both lines. If you use an socket outlet conforming to IEC320 then, because it is impossible to reverse the conductors, it would be logical to assume that you would only need to protect the Live. In the UK all fused plugs, switched and unswitched socket outlets must conform with BS1363 : 1984. Due to the arrangement of the Live/Neutral/Earth connections it is impossible to reverse the Live & Neutral conductors. A single fuse (13A max) would be sufficient in the Live conductor. The pin arrangement of Australian plugs and socket outlets also prevent connections to the Live and Neutral being reversed and hence a single fuse would be sufficient. (Max. ratings of plug and socket = 10A/250VAC).

System Integration
Ladies & Gentlemen, I thought that you may be interested in the outcome of a meeting between a well-known PC manufacturer and the European Commission, DGIII (Elena Santiago) concerning the legalities of System Integration :- 1. An integrator of a "Core PC" (motherboard, power supply, case & drives - 6.4.2 para. 4 of the EMC Directive Guidelines) need only follow the Conformity Assessment Guidelines (10.1 or 10.2 of the Directive, 8.1 or 8.2 of the Guidelines). This entails using CE Marked modules, following module instructions exactly, providing a Declaration of Conformity, and providing a CE Marking on the product. If he/she does this, then the resultant product NEED NOT BE TESTED. Further, if an enforcement organization later tests the product and it fails the emissions limits, the System Integrator will still be considered in compliance! The enforcer is then supposed to turn his/her sights on the module suppliers for not providing sufficient instructions, and leave the System Integrator alone. Accordingly, if the System Integrators under prosecution in the UK followed the Guidelines but did not test, they should not be prosecuted. 2. EMC auditing of production is not mandatory. Even though EN55022, in describing the 80/80 rule, indicates that auditing is mandatory, the European Commission views this as not a standards issue and beyond the scope of CENELEC to specify. They also consider this requirement in conflict with their guidelines and are taking steps to have CENELEC remove this wording from EN55022. 3. We also brought up an issue regarding the use of prototypes for evaluation and demonstration, and of development units for customers to use to simultaneously prepare new designs. Ms. Santiago agreed to bring the matter up with the horizontal National Authorities. The above will obviously have a major impact on all PC manufacturers and system integrators! Perhaps someone within this newsgroup is able to confirm (or otherwise) this ground-shift. Arthur Poolton Approvals Manager Mitsubishi Electric - PC Division --

Low power consumption requirement
There seems to be efforts within the PC industry to promote PC' s with low power consumption whilst in a "standby" state. Is anyone aware of :- a) where this rumour began b) in which countries is this / could this become a mandatory requirement ? c) any standard(s) which exist in respect to this requirement ? d) specified timescales ?
