RE: Test Equipment NRTL Approval

It's worth pointing out that the NRTL program does not imply that any NRTL can test against the applicable standards for every category of equipment. Like other schemes, accreditation is against specific standards, thus, not all NRTLs are created equally. Likewise SCC accreditation for testing ag

With thanks to one of our subscribers, I find that my quote from OSHA 1910.399, 2004, does not exist in today's 1910.399. My earlier message quoted from the definition of "approved for the purpose." This definition seemed to allow any "organization concerned with product evaluation" to determine

Ian, "Electric actuator" sounds like some kind of component that induces movement, such as a motor or solenoid. Such components are not within the scope of IEC 600950-1, although if a manufacturer chose to use them in some ICT equipment then they would need to comply with the relevant parts of
