Re: Mobile Phones in EMC Labs
If you ban cell phone use in an EMC lab then you should also consider doing so in adjacent locations - one side of a door is much the same as the other! Vic Gibling Vagabond Compliance Engineer 2008/12/9 Luke Turnbull luke.turnb...@trw.com Hi all, Should we ban the use of mobile phones in our test lab (i.e. outside our test chambers, but in the same EM environment as the sig gens, spectrum analysers, receivers etc.)? Opinions with reasons would be greatly appreciated.

ESD Generator confidence test
The ESD standard IEC 61000-4-2 gives details for the manufacture of a current target, used for verifying the ESD waveform. I appreciate this could be used as a confidence check before administering the test, but does anyone have another approach that they would be willing to share.

Evaluation Boards - again
Hi, Thank you for your previous comments regarding Evaluation Boards. Could I raise one issue for further comment. It has been stated that Evaluation Boards must comply with FCC emc requirements CFR 47 Part 15. Another view is that Evaluation Cards are exempt as defined by section 15.103 (c) which states; -- A digital device used exclusively as industrial, commercial, or medical test equipment. -- In Europe I know one Evaluation Board manufacturer gained CE compliance through the Technical Construction File route. The product exceeded recognised industrial emc emission levels but was 'passed' by a Competent Body on the proviso that it's use was restricted to industrial development premises. Unfortunately I don't now how he dealt with this for the US. Knowing how these boards are often used - external cables to logic analysers, additional circuitry connected to expansion ports - the EU approach is reasonable Has anyone any comments to offer or suggested sources of information.
