Scott, The New LVD as with the latest Machinery Directive requires a Risk Assessment of the Essential Health and Safety Requirements called out in the Directive. Most likely the new ISO EN 12100 Risk Assessment standard will be harmonized to the LVD and you can use this on your DoCs to show com

[PSES] Cable retention force

Does anybody know of a standard which describes cable retention force other than safety standards such as 60601-1 (Medical General Safety) or 60950 (ITE general safety) and if so can you give me the numbers. The product is about 2 pounds. ITE would say that the value is about 6 pounds. - --

A color photograph has been a requirement of the Toy Directive for a long time. However, toys are different than most other products. If customs receives a shipment of toy cars of model X from company Y, it can be difficult to determine if what is in the box is what is declared on the DoC. The p

W.r.t. to what Brian and Ted said below, I've come across a number of cases at work where routine production safety testing has identified assembly safety defects - and one actually here at home when my wife bought an exercise machine which, during final assembly, I noted to have the conductor f

UL 508A refers us to UL 310 for bushings; UL 486A-486B Table 27 has values for #30 up to 2000 kCM, but that is only based on cable size, not the weight of equipment. My non-indexed search didn't come up with anything else through a dozen or so IEC standards while searching for "retention" or

Eugene, The EMC Directive requires the manufacturer performs a “Conformity Assessment”, sometimes referred to as an “EMC Compatibility Assessment”. Within this assessment, the manufacturer can explain the reasons for and against which EMC tests and test levels they tested their products to to

IEC60601-1-2 points to the IEC61000-4-X and -6 stuff for immunity, and IEC60601-1-11 extends EMC stuff for home healthcare equipment. The latest edition of -1-2 has some interesting stuff about test levels in annex E, and all medical EMC is based on intended end-use environment with no allowance

'Cars' and 'busses' are two different regulatory subjects. Requirements standards can range from nothing to ISO 26262 (nee IEC61508); and from nothing to CISPR25/VCA for EMC. And happen to know that Crestron has, or did have, more than one compliance engineer. Your local compliance engineer sho
