A suggestion - if your company name, city and state, are already on the label or nameplate, ask your local postal facility if that is sufficient for mail to be delivered to your company. This came up with a firm I used to work for many years ago and when asked the local post office said that

Hi All, The captioned directives will be enforced on 20 April 2016 with no transition period. As of today, no accredited laboratories accept the compliance verification to those directive until 20 April 2016. They claim they cannot test to those directives until 20 April 2016 as per the

Peter, Are the open circuit waveforms identical out of the surge generator, or out of the coupling decoupling network? -4-5 relaxes the waveform limits for the rise time and duration at the output of a CDN, based on amperage. Check out tables 6 and 7 of the 2nd Edition for more information.

Good morning. I'm wondering if others have experienced cases where different manufacturers' surge test equipment (ANSI/IEEE C62.41 ring and combination waves) with nearly identical open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current calibrations have led to very different results. In these cases,

Scott Test labs should test to standards. Manufacturers declare to compliance to Directives. The two beams should not cross :) You won't get anything officially, but unofficially the EU MSAs and enforcement agencies should take a pragmatic stance regarding DoCs and not be too concerned whether
