Dear Group, In North America, are there any EMC testing and performance requirements specifically covering industrial process measuring equipment? Many thanks in anticipation of your replies.

RE: NEW EMC Standards
Dear Group I am on the point of specifying a new signal generator for in-house radiated immunity testing. Does anybody out there have a feel for where the upper test frequency limit is likely to go for industrial instruments covered by EN 61326 and similar? Is it likely to remain at 1 GHz, or is an extension to 2 GHz, or even higher seen on the far and distant horizon?

US Product Safety Standards
Dear Group, We manufacture gas monitoring equipment for process plant and lab use. Historically, before being marketed in the US the non hazardous area product versions have been submitted for electrical safety assessment under either UL 61010A-1 or FM3810. Can anyone advise me what the differences are (if any) between these two standards and also when one would be applied in preference to the other?

RE: MRA US-EU: Sectoral Annex Safety suspended
Dear Group, Having read the document given, can anybody explain what it means? As an instrument manufacturer selling products into both the US and EU do I need to panic over this, or can I ignore it and sleep peacefully in my bed at nights?

'DOW' of standards
Dear Group, The OJ for the LVD (page C317/73) gives 1.1.2004 as being the date beyond which IEC 61010-1:1990/A2:1995 can no longer be used to presume conformance with the requirements of this Directive. After this date, can equipment previously assessed to this standard still be marketed without reassessment to the new standard (IEC 61010-1:2001)? If so, until when? Between 1.4.2001 (the 'dow' of IEC 61010-1:1990+A1:1992 (Modified)) and 1.1.2004 (the dow of IEC 61010-1:1990/A2:1995), can either IEC 61010-1:1990/A2:1995 or IEC 61010-1:2001 be used to presume conformance with the requirements of LVD? Apologies if the answers to the above have been covered before and are thus locked up in the group's archives.

Re: Wee Directive
Ian, As a process equipment manufacturer we are members of GAMBICA (www.gambica.org.uk), a UK trade association covering automation, instrumentation and control technologies. This group regularly provides us with valuable information on directives such as WEE, and acts as a point of contact for answering any queries we may have. Regards Ian Unwin Lead Engineer Servomex Group Limited "White, Ian" @majordomo.ieee.org on 23/01/2003 08:34:44 Please respond to "White, Ian" Sent by:owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org To:"IEEE Forum (E-mail)" cc: Subject:Wee Directive Hi everybody The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in Annex 1B lists the products covered by the Directive. Most of the products are consumer type products. As a company which produces industrial control equipment we need need to be sure we are covered before we proceed. We do not want to waste time and money. Our reading is we come under the Directive but would like the council of informed legal opinion. Can any one suggest anybody or organisation apart >from the Department of Trade and Industry who did not want to be tied down to giving one.
