Dear Members, Thank you very much for those who have helped. This is a great community especially to a novice. Members answered my next question, "What is the EU requirements for batteries?" Effective November 20, 2008, Japan regulates certain types of batteries (lithium ion batteries with ex

Grace, As of the last update I believe the biggest difference in requirements is the doubling of samples for some of the tests to conduct at high and low temperatures as well as the internal short circuit test. A piece of metal actually has to be rolled into the cell for the internal short circu

Good People, The 8A limit in most UL/CSA standards is based on NFPA and CEC - it is considered the max current level where a risk of fire would not exist due to induction and/or short circuit heating in building wiring, hence the blanket requirement of an inherently limited Class 2 source for many

Yes, I agree that, unless otherwise stated, the measurement should be RMS. It should have been made clear that my response was intended to address the specific requirements in North American codes, as Mr. Woodgate had already addressed what is needed for an IEC-based EN standard. The "justificati

It depends. Is the cable part of a cord-set => an "end item", or is it included as part of the end-use equipment ? I do not know of any directives listed by the marking directive that are scoped for mains cables. The LVD would seem to apply (to a cordset) - which includes HD21.x and 60227; and 603

Cable is not normally CE marked because it is a component - not apparatus as defined in the directive. To my knowledge there is no 'legitimate' CE mark for cable, only the assemblies into which it is incorporated. There are safety marks, such as those mentioned by Brian, and these are legi
