RE: Inquiry on Restrictions and Bans of Mercury in Product compon ents

2000-01-17 Thread Crabb, John

The A deviation for Sweden is in the current issue of EN 60950,
and is also in the latest version of EN60950 (not yet issued, 
equivalent to IEC 60950 third edition).

I note that the latest version of EN 60950 also has the same note
re switches containing mercury, as an A Deviation for Switzerland,
with the reference Ordinance on environmentally hazardous 
substances SR 814.013, Annex 3.2, Mercury

 John,
 
 Thanks for your reply.
 
 Following up on this deviation for restricting switched containing
 mercury- When
 a country as Sweden did in 1995 becomes a member of the EU does anyone
 know if
 the A deviations cited in EN60950 was relaxed or removed?
 
 re: Annex ZC, A-Deviations, in EN 60950 :Swedish National deviation:-
 Clause 1.5.1 Sweden (Ordinance SFS 1991:1290)
 
 Thanks.
 
 If questions, please contact me ASAP.

  Folks,
 
  Can anyone provide specific text or reference that provides a specific
  restriction, limitation or ban to import into Europe or North America of
  any
  component or system that includes relays with mercury in it . I only
 found
  a ban
  for  Mercury content of all kinds of batteries ( except button cells) in
  Directive 91/157/EEC
 
  Further, can someone provide any reference to a similar ban or
 restriction
  on
  electronics use of Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Tin, or  Beryllium? Any
 feedback
  is
  appreciated.  Thanks

John,

Thanks for the feedback.


Folks,

If a product is already certified to EN61010-1 for Low Voltage Directive
compiance, does it also have to meet EN60950?

Does anyone have a copy of the English version of the Sweden Ordinance SFS
1991:1290?

Please email copy to me at paul.j.sm...@teradyne.com. If the english version is
in hardcopy, please fax it to me 603-843-7526.

Thanks for your help.
