Ian, That depends on the market. If the product will remain in Europe, EN 60204-1 or IEC 60204-1 is the best choice. If the markets are North American, then the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1 applies, or NFPA 70, National Electrical Code for the US. For both the US and Canada, NFPA 79 applies

Dave et al, Reliability processes have been in place for many years. The old AT&T system had extensive information on reliability developed down to the component part level based upon their experience. I attended a sales pitch (in the old days) when they were trying to rent out their databas

Nick et al Thanks for your input. Assuming we choose 60335-1 for electrical safety would you suggest that we therefore raise a DofC for the product and refer only to the machinery and EMC (the device also contains some active electronics) directives? A DofI may be more appropriate as the product
