RE: UL approval IT equipment

2001-09-07 Thread PGodfrey

Amund,

I have to agree with John. If you have a good relationship (and let's not
forget YOU are a customer!) with the power supply vendor, you could agree to
pay the UL certification fee and have them submit the unit back to UL as an
alternate to the original investigation. Based on the proposed changed this
SHOULD be a relatively minor task that will involve limited testing.

Good luck,

Subject: UL approval IT equipment



What about this one:

We want our IT product to be UL approved. We purchase a modified power
supply 
(PS) which is not UL appoved. The original PS is UL approved. The only 
difference in the PS is the value of one resistor which means that we now
can 
take 2.3A/28VDC out instead of 1.9/28VDC. It exist av TUV CB report on the 
original PS.

A local test lab tells us that thay can approve the total IT product
(including 
the PS), but I feel we can get trouble with UL during the audits (4 times a 
year).

Am I right ?

Best regard 
Amund Westin, Oslo/Norway

I guess we better start with the directive. Sigh! Here goes ...

Having regard to the existence of the net acronyms and typing shortcuts,
and in particular, the emc-pstc DL thereof,

In cooperation with subscribers, clearly frequent visitors to chat rooms, 
moonlighting as safety and compliance personnel

Having some regard to the opinion of the professional, student and teenage
communities, and in particular, organisations of a nerdistic persuasion, 

Whereas it is necessary to adopt measures with the aim of progressively 
establishing the global market over a period expiring at the second coming
of Christ

Whereas the global market, comprises an area without internal frontiers in 
which free exchange of acronyms is ensured over the net and text-ready
mobile communications devices

Whereas member states are responsible for providing adequate translation
for communication by acronyms where message meanings may be degraded
by exposure to the unfamiliar and therefore pose a communication hazard

Whereas member states are also responsible for providing adequate 
protection for acrommunications receivers in the form of uninitiated
recipients; the immunity levels may vary between member states.

Whereas Global Council Directive 2001/EMC-PSTC/GC of June 14th
on the initial stage of the recognition of type-approval for the acronyms
used in public covers in particular, the confusion (emissions) caused
by uncertified acronyms when used in normal communication

Whereas it is still necessary to provide adequate translation for acronyms
ideally in methods precluding the use of other acronyms, for protection of 
message recipients against effects such as dyslexia on the parts of  the
sender and receiver or both

Whereas in some member states, mandatory provisions define in particular 
the permissible acronyms and length thereof, that may be used in any one
exchange and the character set must be agreed and harmonised

Whereas no member state shall authorise the use of the acronyms AFAIK
and CMIIW (see below) pursuant to a goal to preclude words starting with 
phonetically silent letters; excepting that such an acronym confuses a 
teenager, in which case its use is legal. 

Whereas member states shall encourage the use of special acronyms 
exclusive to their respective criminal fraternity to enable their ease of 
capture by security forces monitoring mother's day cards. To this end, 
the acronym YTTM? shall invariably translate to 'You talking to me?'  and 
shall be dispensed with a distinctively Robert De Niro accent.

Whereas the national provisions ensuring such protection of recipients must 
be harmonised in order to guarantee the free movement of acronyms without
lowering existing and justified levels of coherence, tone and morals. For
the
purpose of this directive, the Jerry Springer show in participating member
states
is exempt.

Whereas Global Community Legislation as it stands at present provides that,
notwithstanding one of the fundamental rules of the community, namely, 
free movement of information, classified or otherwise, barriers to 
intra-community exchange resulting from disparities in national servers on
the
filtering of messages have to be accepted in so far as those provisions may 
be recognised as necessary to satisfy essential requirements of the member
nation's religious, social or political ethics e.g. acronyms which
inadvertently
or otherwise translate to vulgarity or cause offence in member states. 

Whereas the Global Council recognises the existence of member states
whose alphabets are not traditionally western, the practicality of using 
these 'Class I' alphabets for acronyms in environments other than those 
exclusively employing the alphabet for regular communication, is limited
and therefore not covered by the scope of this directive. 

Whereas member states shall discourage the use of net acronyms when
exchanging information with Class I recipients; excepting that the acronym
is in hieroglyphics, in which case a Nobel prize is due.

Whereas member states shall discourage the use of net acronyms in 
environments where they impair the effective transfer of information, namely
in verbal communication. Notwithstanding, Manhattan shall be deemed 
exempt from this requirement and a

RE: Product Marking

2001-01-25 Thread PGodfrey

Just a 'small' correction here.

As I'm sure most who have been through any of the UL programs will agree, it
took some work to get there!!. Therefore, I'd like to point out that KTL is
a UL CAPS Engineer laboratory and therefore manufacturers who have their
products tested/investigated with us under this scheme will get UL
authorization to apply the UL Listed or Recognized Mark. EXACTLY the same as
they would by going directly to UL, except of course we believe we offer a
faster turnaround time than UL themselves. :>).

Perhaps you are being confused by the symbols.  The UL symbol can only be
used if your product is tested by UL not another lab.  UL1950 and CSA 22.2
are both the same requirements.  They have been "normalized" by
international agreement. 
Text can be used in place of logos if the text is in close proximity to the
logo of the LISTING laboratory.  Of course nothing can be sold in Canada
without the Canadian supplied flag labels with the certification number
imprinted.

Courtland,

The NRTL (UL, CSA) would not like the idea that one marked the product with
the word UL or CSA because (their argument) it is misleading. In some cases,
TUV, ETL etc. can certify some products using UL/CSA standards.

Hello group,

I have a question concerning labeling a product. If we go to a NRTL and get
Safety testing performed, we typically put the Safety logo (UL for example)
on the product label. Our marketing people have a problem with having
different logo's. They would like to standarize on a single logo such as UL.
This kind of thinking hinders the process of getting the best price
possible. I would like to get the testing performed at a lab which doesn't
use UL. Would it be possible to just put "Conforms to UL 1950 and CAN/CSA
1950" on the label and forget the logo? Or is there a requirement to have a
logo?

Thanks,

Who mentioned FIREARMS!!!!!

2000-07-28 Thread PGodfrey

Ok guys, I have certainly enjoyed reading the responses to my question 'so
far'.

I must be honest and say that I was forewarned about mentioning/using the
word firearm (Scott, thanks - you know me. Learn the hard way).

I'd like to thank all those who have given this some thought and perhaps
took the conversation to new heights of inherent safety. Just as an aside,
or addition, I know there was some slight confusion regarding exactly the
nature of the beast in question and the intent. Just to further clarify. The
'object' is in fact a rifle who's intended purpose being that of any other
mechanical monster - gaming, self protection etc etc. The actual electronics
is both in the safety latch on/off and also the firing mechanism. As
suggested or guessed by one fellow member, it uses this to release the
hammer thus avoiding jerking action and increasing accuracy.

Again thanks to all who put fingers to keyboard and just so that I don't
feel left out on this one. And being English (no offence intended -
lighthearted view) I must tell you this,

those Corned Beef containers (made in Argentina hence  >:), you know,
those with the funny key that opens it about 90% of the way and then the
last 10% takes off two of your fingers. Man they need to have BIG bright
warnings labels.

All the best

Electrical safety of firearms

Here's one that you feel should have something, just because of the nature
of the equipment, but your not quite sure what!!

Does anyone have the least inkling of any safety requirements specific to a
firearm with an electronic trigger. I am not particularly interested in
firearms laws/regulations etc but any requirements that the electronics may
fall under. This device will be powered by a 9-volt battery.

Thanks in advance of any responses.

You are indeed correct in stating that KTL can perform such
testing/investigations. I have forwarded these messages to the Product
Safety Manager, Sim Jagpal. He can be contacted at +1 (613) 737-9680 or
email sjag...@ktlcanada.com.

Thankyou George and Bruce.

Buying Environmental Chamber

2000-07-11 Thread PGodfrey

Hi all,

My company has been considering buying a walk-in chamber for some time. I'd
appreciate any help in locating vendors of both used and new chambers. We
are located just outside of Dallas so the nearer the better, but I'm open to
all suggestions.

Thanks in advance of any replies.

Regards,

Phil Godfrey
Manager, Product Safety
KTL Dallas, Inc.
