CE (LVD) for Fruit Juicers

Hi Group, Looking through the OJEC LVD Standards list, I could not find under EN 60335 and its many parts a particular part that covered a juicer. Does anyone know which particular part of this standard this product falls under? Also, not having seen this device, if it has blades like a blend

Consultant - Class 1 Div 1 Locations

Group, We have a client in Orange County, California that needs a consultant for a product intended to be used in a Class 1 Div 1 location. They would prefer someone to work with them on a one-to-one basis and time is of the essence. If anyone with the proper credentials in UL 1203 or FM 3610

EN60204-1 Question

Group: The definition of "controlgear" in EN60204-1 is somewhat vague to me. If I have a machine that has an operator display, keyboard and mouse that are an integral part of the equipment (which I would define as the operator control station), are these devices considered to be controlgear w

Product Safety Engineering Position

Hello Group, A colleague of mine, who is a senior product safety engineer for one of the NRTL's, is looking for a position near Orlando, Florida. I can state from personal knowledge that this person has impeccable credentials. If any of the group knows of a potential employer in the aforementio

RE: Mains cords

Hi Rob, The quick answer to your question is no. If you do not supply the cordset, you must supply a description of the cordset that is suitable for your equipment. The description can be in the form of a flyer or a part of your installation guide and in the language of the country in which it

Grounding Continuity Testers for UL 60950

Good Morning Group, Does anyone have any information regarding high amperage continuity testers that might be purchased for testing compliance with Sub-Clause 2.6.3 of UL 60950? My concern is regarding high amperage equipment and the requirement to test at two times the circuit current. We ar

Class I Division 1 versus Class I Division 2

Hello Group, I need some education on Classified/Hazardous locations. What is the difference between a product that is certified to Class I Division 1 versus Class I Division 2? If I had a product that was certified to Division 2, what would be needed to make it pass Division 1 requirements? I

RE: Risk assessment

Hi Stig, One of my side jobs is in the Army National Guard Field Artillery. We perform a risk assessment at each firing point we pull into using an Army manual, FM 100-14 (Risk Management). I was surprised to see how closely their documentation parallels EN 1050 in many aspects. Here's a quick

UL1950 - Clause 2.5.5

Group, We are looking at a Class 1, cord connected product that utilizes a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and is wired to a non-service accessible terminal block in the rear of the unit with a Recognized compression fitting for strain relief. The product is being evaluated against UL1950. Here's th

RE: Got another beef about an NRTL (haven't we all?)

Hi Tania, At Wyle Laboratories (one of the many NRTL's), we typically will accept test data from another NRTL. Our assumption is that other NRTL demonstrated proficiency to OSHA requirements and probably many others (A2LA, NVLAP, ISO Guide 25, etc.), hence their test data is assumed to be valid.

IEC/EN Standard for Independent Lamp Control Gear

Group: I need information on what standard covers an independent lamp control device. This product is used in a commercial environment, has a data interface to a computer and is used to turn fluorescent light fixtures on and off (not dim). It is self-contained in its own enclosure and uses elec

RE: US Approval

Daryl: The last information that I have (and somebody please advise if this is outdated), is that not one EU test lab that has applied for NRTL status has been approved by OSHA. This seems to be the main sticking point for implementing the US-EU MRA. In other words, it exists, but is not yet im

EU Equivalent Standard

Group: Can anyone advise what the European equivalent standard to UL 1431, Personal Hygiene and Health Care Appliances is? The product I have been questioned about is a cosmetic device (non-medical) that temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite using a vacuum process. Man

RE: Why routine hipot is required.

Mike: Here's the beef. The hi-pot test on the completed assembly, or final product, should be done as close as possible to the point of production where the product is boxed up for shipping and/or storage. The purpose of this is to try and find a defect in the primary side of the product wiring

EU Requirements for PSTN Equipment

Group: I need detailed information on (a) which standards would apply to test a switching device (similar to a PBX machine) that connects to the PSTN on a customer site under the R & TTE Directive (b) the process by which a manufacturer contacts a Notified Body in the EU for approval (c) where I

RE: SAE testing

Cyril: I don't believe there is a safety (UL) requirement for ITE equipment that will be installed in a vehicle. I have been writing a test plan for a customer that requires extensive testing to SAE J1455 and J1113 and there is no "safety" involved. It is basically environmental, transient volt

EN61010-1 Question

Group: A question on interpretation of Clause 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.1.2: If a product has an operator accessible cable that exits the equipment and operates normally at a level of 250 Vdc /200 uA, is it required to be marked with the hazardous voltage label? The cable is a probe where the user (a tra
