Re: [PSES] 3D passive glasses

2013-04-17 Thread Tyra, John
Found this OSM decision while I was searching for other info.  I guess the 
question becomes is it considered a CHILD APPEALING product?


Standard:  
EN 60065:1998
EN 60065:2002   Sub clause: 
-   Sheet No.: 
02/1

Page 1 of 1
Subject: 
Child appealing Multimedia products Key words:
-
Meeting:
OSM/EE - 2002
Item No. 9.1

Question:  
Description of situation:
A manufacturer of LCD TVs wants to produce LCD TVs which must be designated as 
CHILD APPEALING product.
The LCD TVs will be supplied by an external power supply or a battery pack, 
internal higher voltages are generated.
These types of products are excluded from the scope of the Toy Directive.
The manufacturer wants the products to be certified to EN 60065

Is it acceptable to evaluate these products to EN 60065 only?


Decision:
Since the products are clearly Child Appealing we must bear in mind the normal 
behaviour of children.  Abusing a product is likely to occur; for example, 
dropping it on the floor, using it in a way that is not intended.
Beside the EN 60065 we also will cover applicable additional tests (in case 
they are more severe than EN 60065 or not covered by EN 60065) according the 
following standards:
EN 71 (toy directive)
EN 50088 (safety of electric toys)
The General Product Safety Directive 92/59EEC and the Liability Directive for 
defective products 85/374/EEC have also to be taken into account.
An annex to the test report shall show these additional assessments. 

Explanatory notes: 
A child-appealing-product is a product which is constructed to represent a 
model, person or animal such that due to the design and materials used it could 
be treated by a child as a toy.

The point is that assuming it is solves the problem of whether to put a 
CE mark on or not. Without a CE mark, there would be trouble with 
customs, market surveillance and retailers. The manufacture would be 
forever having to explain why there was no CE mark.

Re: [PSES] 3D passive glasses

2013-04-17 Thread Anthony Thomson
Hello Scott,
As has already been said, 3D Glasses certainly would have 'child appeal' and 
therefore should comply with the Toy Safety Directive and that's your 
entitlement for CE Marking them.
If I were shipping these, I'd also be tempted to include the General Product 
Safety Directive (2001/95/EC), which although isn't strictly a CE Marking 
directive, it would look good on the Declaration of Conformity and and should 
keep the most exuberant customs inspector happy and might prevent questions 
about why adult glasses are being classed as toys.

I observed a number of 3D passive glasses in traditional black and in different 
colours on sale in electrical shops. They are affixed with a CE mark. My 
inquiry indicates that CE mark demonstrates the compliance with Toys Directive 
2009/48/EC. It is interesting to me that the glasses are used with electronics 
products, 3D TVs and on sale in electrical shops. How can it be classified as a 
toy? I have no idea about non electrical products. Any comments on the product 
classification? If not a toy, what is the product type should be. Thanks and

Since the products are clearly Child Appealing we must bear in mind the normal 
behaviour of children.  Abusing a product is likely to occur; for example, 
dropping it on the floor, using it in a way that is not intended.
Beside the EN 60065 we also will cover applicable additional tests (in case 
they are more severe than EN 60065 or not covered by EN 60065) according the 
following standards:
EN 71 (toy directive)
EN 50088 (safety of electric toys)
The General Product Safety Directive 92/59EEC and the Liability Directive for 
defective products 85/374/EEC have also to be taken into account.
An annex to the test report shall show these additional assessments. 

Explanatory notes: 
A child-appealing-product is a product which is constructed to represent a 
model, person or animal such that due to the design and materials used it could 
be treated by a child as a toy.

Re: [PSES] 3D passive glasses

Hi Anthony,

Good point!  Did you mean the product is accessed under GPSD and Toys
Directive is considered appropriate due to its nature of presentation.  As
to compliance with Toys Directive, a CE mark is required.  Thus the DoC
should cover GPSD, Toys, REACH, Packaging  Packaging Directives.

As regards to RoHS Directive, I have learnt that if a computer comes with a
carrying bag, the bag should comply with RoHS as well.  For this product, it
is used with 3D TVs and should be also considered an accessory to the TV.
Do we need to consider RoHS compliance as well?

Scott

 Hello Scott,
 
  
 
 As has already been said, 3D Glasses certainly would have 'child appeal' and
 therefore should comply with the Toy Safety Directive and that's your
 entitlement for CE Marking them.
 
  
 
 If I were shipping these, I'd also be tempted to include the General Product
 Safety Directive (2001/95/EC),  which although isn't strictly a CE Marking
 directive, it would look good on the Declaration of Conformity and and should
 keep the most exuberant customs inspector happy and might prevent questions
 about why adult glasses are being classed as toys.

I would think this is a toy.  They may also be considered an accessory to 
audio/video equipment, although there is nothing electrical about the device 
itself.  They certainly would have child appealing aspects.

Hi Doug,

Definitely, it was designed for adult use but unfortunately it becomes a toy
when it is accessed by a child.  Yes, Representational Play that refers to
pretend play which emerges when a child begins to use familiar objects in
appropriate ways to represent their world.

Is there any criteria for this product used by adults apart from toy
requirements?
