RE: Worldwide ITE Requirements
Indeed, each shipment to Russian Federation should be accompanied with an authorised copy of a GOST-R certificate (with affixed holographic sticker). Along with a GOST-R cerificate, Russians issue a license authorising the use of GOST-R mark for 2 or 3 years. Also, most of Russian Certification Centers require copies of safety (CB scheme or CE) and EMC reports issued by GOSSTANDART' accredited testing labs. For certain type of ITE equipment (such as VDT, keyboard, etc.), so called hygienic approval is required. Very few foreign labs have been appointed by Russian Hygienic Certification Center, SAMTEST, to perform required tests and prepare bilingual submittals. For those who dare to contradict, an old Russian dictum goes like this: the Laws have been written to ignore them (only joking!). Good luck.

RE: Worldwide ITE Requirements
Richard, Either you missed out some of my corrections under Russia or someone has dared to contradict me!(only joking!). Applying the GOST R mark is a condition of the GOST certification as is supplying an authorised copy of your certificate with each batch - your equipment could be held indefinitely by customs if you chance shipping without it (a variation on Russian Roulette). Also the Law now requires that all imported equipment must have a Russian language User Manual regardless of industrial, business or domestic use. If you can't find the information to substantiate what I've stated then I can quote directly from the Laws we've translated. <> My comments above in no way detract from all the time and good work you have put into collate this document. I know from many years experience that it is very difficult to judge what is correct (even from the printed word) unless its quoted directly from the Legislation (then we just let the lawyers argue the toss).

Re: Worldwide ITE Requirements
Richard, Testing might not be required only when documents (e.g. CB reports and product documents) submitted for review is OK. If testing is required, it can be done by them (Test Centre). Note: They only accept CB reports generated from a list to recognised test labs. Upon approval/grant, a certificate will be issued to the applicant. The applicant must be a local registered company. Within the certificate is an approval number. This ID, along with the safety mark has to be affixed onto the product. You can visit their web site at :http://www.psb.gov.sg/register/index.html There are 31 controlled goods that required to be registered before they are allowed to be sold in the market.

Re: Worldwide ITE Requirements
Richard, Your compilation of the international compliance requirement for ITE is very useful. However, I've to point out that for Singapore, there is a safety mandatory requirement. The safety requirement is a PSB safety mark that is required to be affixed onto the product once it has been granted approval. Application by local company (distributor) to the authority is required. This safety requirement is called the Consumer Protection Registration Scheme. There is a list of control goods that falls under scheme (PC, and mostly appliances). Currently no EMC requirement for Singapore.

RE: Worldwide ITE Requirements
Before anyone yells at me for the Canadian and US safety marks that I listed, yes I know that other marks are acceptable other than CSA, cUL and UL. Consider those to be examples. I will reword and/or add a note. -- From: WOODS, RICHARD Sent: Thursday, April 29, 1999 10:26 AM To: 'emc-pstc' Subject: Worldwide ITE Requirements I have compiled all that I know or think I know about worldwide safety and EMC compliance requirements for ITE in the attached document.
