RE: NAMAS

That is correct. I believe that NAMAS ONLY deals with laboratory and Calibration procedures. At one company I worked our lab manager paid them lots of money to validate and audit our product safety procedures (We were all CSA Design Verification Engineers; TUV and UL accepted our test reports).

RE: Wire spool labeling requirements

Hello Group: The explanation that I have been given goes as follows. When a UL inspector goes in to inspect a wire manufacturer they have to do certain measurements on the wire to be sure it meets the requirements for that wire style. If it does not meet the requirements it is not accepted as UL

Wire can be easily respooled and used by another wire vendor or wiring house that's not recognized. Labeled spools give a higher confidence level then labeled wire. - Doug McKean --- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical C

RE: Wire spool labeling requirements

Note also that if you precut - and preform lengths in batches it will help the audit trail if you make a copy (e.g. photocopy) the spool label and include in in the batch of preformed wires. This will demonstrate to the Inspector that you know and understand the need for control AND have a method

RE: ( More) Laser Safety Questions

Hi Jeffrey, I've seen answers to this post regarding enforcement of the IEC standard, as well as to the CDRH rules. However, no one has mentioned FDA audits. The FDA does conduct periodic audits at the manufacturer's location as reported in the Product Reports and Annual Reports submitted to them

RE: Wire spool labeling requirements

Inspection of the wire spools was always the sticking point with the inspector as well. He's always find one spool without a label. When I first questioned the label vs. the indications on the wire insulation itself, I was given this explanation: The wire insulation typically only has the letters

Difficult one to call but this device may be subject to R&TTE as, depends on how it is connected and used. It will probably have a 75 Ohm output which will match a TV antenna impedance and thus be capable of transmitting (albeit a short distance). Can you get around this with warnings in the User

No, for a product to fall within the radio categorie of the R&TTE directive the signal need to be airborn. Suitable warnings about the products use may help avoid misunderstandings regarding applicability. Tha phrase" can be transmitted to " in your mail is an example of how an ambiguous
