Folks- Can someone give the scope of UL 3111-1? Or tell me how is it's scope differs from UL 3101-1? I have a copy of UL 3101-1, and it appears that it is very similar to IEC 1010-1, but I don't have a copy of UL 3111-1 (yet!). I read a message in the IEEE-PSTC archive where someone said that

There is an ASTM (I do not recall the number) for just your purpose. The jig is an expanded piece of coax, with a slot into which a puck of the test material may be inserted. If the material is a perfect conductor, it shorts the input and you get no output. If the material is a perfect

I believe that Clause 7.2 contains an error. Clause 6.2.1 requires the field variation be no more than +/- 3 dB over the volume of the EUT. For a 1 m square loop, the test volume is 0.6 m x 0.6 m x 0.5 m (h) with the loop centered on the test volume. Therefore, a vertically oriented loop would

The device will need CE, thus the typical route is a tech file and a DoC. Refer to the Medical Device Directive (MDD) or the In-Vitro directive. From the little info you provided I would guess the Medical Directive is the one. Reading the scope of both should assist you in selecting the
