Refurbished Products to EU
Greetings, We are considering refurbishing laboratory equipment products that were located in the EU. These products will be removed from the EU and refurbished. Once the products are refurbished, we will be selling them to new customers in the EU. The refurbishments will not include any "new" technology. I have a couple of questions for the group in regards to this process. 1.Will the applicable regulatory requirements of "today" be required, or the requirements from the original date of sale? 2.Are there any additional requirements for refurbished products? 2.Are there any specific labeling requirements to state that the product has been refurbished? 3.Are there any type of reporting requirements to let Member States know that we are performing this refurbishment and reselling the products in the EU? Would this requirement be different for products self-certified versus products that requiredNotified Body Approvals i.e. Medical, IVD etc. As always, your responses are appreciated.

Re: LVD voltage limits

On the Europa website I read an LVD Working Document, dated 7/13/01, that there were two proposals: 1. Delete the lower limit and introduce risk assessment similar to the Machinery Directive 2. Leave the limits as is but add an annex to include certain low voltage products, lighting system, household appliances, TV/Radio etc I found a Working Guide for the LVD dated 3/7/02 which showed that there are countries which favor one or the other proposal while the UK favored no change.. Does anyone have any new information or can point me in the direction which would give me a more recent an update of this proposal? I am very interested in where this proposal is heading..

New Approach vs WEEE/RoHS
Greetings, It is my understanding that the WEEE and RoHS Directives are not New Approach Directives. What is the difference between New Approach Directives and other directives such as WEEE/RoHS? In order to declare conformity to New Approach Directives, the manufacturer places the CE mark on the product and issues a Declaration of Conformity. How does a manufacturer declare compliance to the WEEE/RoHS? As always, your responses are appreciated.

Lab Equipment/WEEE RoHS
Greetings I am trying to determine whether our laboratory equipment is required to comply with the RoHS and WEEE Directives at this time. We do have some instruments for use as IVD and realize that they do fall under the scope of the WEEE Directive as Category 8 "Medical Devices: Laboratory Equipment for in-vitro diagnosis." However, we are not sure about our thermal cyclers, DNA sequencers, mass spectrometers, etc. The scope currently includes Category 9 called "Monitoring and Control Instruments" and gives examples including "Measuring, weighing, or adjusting appliances for household or as laboratory equipment". Our instruments do not seem like any of the other examples for the same category, yet they do measure things. Our mass spectrometers can use flight time of ions to help determine the mass and thus the original constitution of the sample. In addition, Member States may specify laboratory equipment within their laws that support the WEEE Directive. As an example, the current Swedish WEEE laws on producer responsibility clearly states that laboratory equipment is included. Your thoughts on this subject are appreciated.

Re: D of C again
Greetings, The statement below is not correct for all Directives. The EMC Directive Guidelines states: " Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the EEA, the obligation to keep the technical documentation available is the responsibility of the person who places the apparatus on the EEA market." The requirement is the same for the D of C. The EMC Directive Guidelines also states "It is not a requirement of this Directive to supply a declaration of conformity with the apparatus." Since these requirements vary by Directive, it is important to review the specific Directives.

The signatory does not have to be located in the EU. The manufacturer must designate a representative in the EU who will hold the certificate and the technical file. This could be an agent, distributor. A copy of the D of C that states the directives complied with must be placed in the user manual. Note, this does not have to be signed, but it must state where the signed original can be obtained. i.e. the EU representative's contact details.

Competent Authority Registration
Greetings, The In-Vitro Diagnostics Directive requires that any manufacturer who places a device on the market notify the competent authorities of the Member State(s) in which he has his registered place of business. I have a couple of questions in regards to this requirement. 1. Does this mean that we have to register with every regulatory authority in all Member States, or is registration with one Member State sufficient? The product is not manufactured in the EU, yet we do have places of business in several Member States. 2. For General IVD devices, how does a U.S. manufacturer register their product in Europe? 3. Does anyone have a list of the regulatory authorities for all Member States? As always, your responses are greatly appreciated.

Sweden WEEE Requirements
Group, Sweden's Ordinance on Producer Responsibility for waste from electronic equipment has been in effect since July 1, 2001. The requirements are not the same as the upcoming European Union WEEE Directive. I have several questions for the group. Why do you think the Swedish requirements have never been discussed on this forum? How is your company addressing the Swedish requirements? Will the Swedish requirements need to be updated to meet the WEEE Directive requirements? The Swedish requirements specifically list "Laboratory Equipment" as having to comply with their requirements. The WEEE Directive does not list laboratory equipment in it's scope. Will this discrepancy need to be clarified? Can individual member states have different requirements than the EU requirements? Do other member states have individual WEEE requirements at this time?

RoHS/WEEE and Laboratory Equipment
Greetings, The scope of the RoHs and WEEE Directives states that the Directives apply to equipment specified in Annex 1A of the WEEE Directive.

Re: Immunity severity levels
Alan, Level 1: (1V/M)Low-level electromagnetic radiation environment. Levels typical of local radio/television stations located at more than 1 km, and transmitters/receivers of low power. Level 2: (3V/M)Moderate electromagnetic radiation environment. Low power portable transceivers (typically less than 1 W rating) are in use, but with restrictions on use in close proximity to the equipment. A typical commercial environment. Level 3: (10V/M) Severe electromagnetic radiation environment. Portable transceivers (2 W rating or more) are in use relatively close to the equipment but not less than 1m. High power broadcast transmitters are in close proximity to the equipment and ISM equipment may be located close by. A typical industrial environment.

Re: Immunity severity levels
Alan, Level 1: (1V/M)Low-level electromagnetic radiation environment. Levels typical of local radio/television stations located at more than 1 km, and transmitters/receivers of low power. Level 2: (3V/M)Moderate electromagnetic radiation environment. Low power portable transceivers (typically less than 1 W rating) are in use, but with restrictions on use in close proximity to the equipment. A typical commercial environment. Level 3: (10V/M) Severe electromagnetic radiation environment. Portable transceivers (2 W rating or more) are in use relatively close to the equipment but not less than 1m. High power broadcast transmitters are in close proximity to the equipment and ISM equipment may be located close by. A typical industrial environment. Level x: (Special) Level x is an open level which might be negotiated and specified in the product standard or equipment specification.

Re: EMC Directive
John, Article 7 in the Directive discusses using national standards to meet the protection requirements of the Directive. The Directive does not go into detail on DOW's of the standards. Take a look at the "Guide to the implementation of directives based on the New Approach and the Global Approach" Section 4.5 discusses revisions to the standards. It states "...the relevant European standard organisation lays down the date of publication at national level of the revised harmonised standard, and the date of withdrawal of the old standard. The transitional period is normally the time period between these two dates. During this transitional period, both harmonised standards give presumption of conformity, provided that the conditions for this are met. After this transitional period, only the revised harmonised standard gives a presumption of conformity." These guidelines can be downloaded from the following site. http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/legislation/guide/document/1999_1282_en.pdf Regards Joe Martin John Juhasz gix.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: EMC Directive owner-emc-pstc@majordom o.ieee.org 08/21/2002 10:09 AM Please respond to John Juhasz I know this has come up before, but I need to quote chapter and verse. In a conversation with an acquaintance of mine, the EMC Directive became a topic with DoW and use of superceded standards for presumption of conformity becoming a contentious area. I maintain the following understanding: A product is evaluated to standard A. At some point standard a can no longer be used for presumption of conformity (DoW) and standard B must be used. Therefore if a product is still being manufactured for sale after the DoW of standard A, then the product must be re-evaluated according to the new standard B. (An exemption being those items returned for repair and not modified/updated/upgraded). If the product was no longer produced and placed on the market after the DoW then there is no issue. My acquaintance notes that if the product was tested to standard A, as long as it has not been 'updated, modified, or changed in anyway' since the initial compliance test, it can still be manufactured and placed on the market after the DoW without re-test. I believe that my understanding is the correct one. I tried to locate it in the EMC Directive itself but I can't seem to find it. Am I incorrect? John A. Juhasz GE Interlogix Fiber Options Div.

Re: Emissions "quick test"
Lisa, If you are just interested in "sniffing" out emissions, Credence Technologies manufactures a probe with a built in low noise amplifier. You can use this probe without a spectrum analyzer to "sniff" out emissions. However, unless you connect the probe to a spectrum analyzer, you can not determine emission levels.

EMC Directive/Repaired Apparatus
To all, The following scenario is in regards to the EMC Directive. We are a manufacturer located in the US. We have various products that were placed on the EU market prior to the enforcement of the EMC Directive. We need to repair some of these products. The repairs will not modify the product to an "as new" piece of apparatus. We want to have the products repaired in the US. Questions: 1. Following the repairs, do we need to meet the requirements of the Directive? If so, why? 2. If not, how do we get the products back into the EU without the CE Marking? Hopefully someone has had some experience with this issue. All responses are appreciated.
