RE: [PSES] EN60601 ESD limits - 6 contact and 8kV air?

Hello, Gary; EN 60601-1-2: 2007 requirements for ME specify +/- 2, 4, and 6 kV for Contact discharge, and +/- 2, 4, and 8 kV for Air discharge. Note that any patient-coupled signals (to or from the patient) must be simulated, but that doing so must not provide an intentional conductive or capa

Sometimes this just runs you in a circle, because the military can buy things COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) when they don’t need the quality and reliability assured by MIL Standards. For instance, the Colonel’s coffeepot can be COTS, but that coffeepot should never end up in a tactical communicat

As Mr. O’Connell noted, the mark is required on the plug, connector and cable. If you are trying to minimize the number of different cords, you can find some cords with Japanese and North American approvals. Volex is one supplier that has these cords . I am not specifically endorsing this supp

HI Chris, If this radio is for the exclusive use of a U.S. federal government agency, you need to look at the contract requirements to determine what if any testing they need to have done. CFR47 does not have any test/application requirements applicable to products used/sold only to the federal

This seems to have become unnecessarily complicated. If a standard changes, and you do some new testing or evaluation, then updating the D of C to reflect that is quite sensible. Your TF will show the new work done to support it. If a standard changes, and you have a quick look at the differe

I agree with this, but for completeness I would add that to the sentence that “the DoC must be updated if you want to maintain a ‘presumption of conformity’ with the EMC Directive.” Strictly speaking the DoC does not have to be updated if there is some technical justification for not doing s

Bear in mind that under the latest EMC Directive, the DoC must contain "dated references" (i.e., the standards tested to and their dates)(see note). If the dates of the standards change then the DoC must be updated. Note: Reference Directive 2004/108/EC, Annex IV, paragraph 2, fourth item. Bob
