CE 4 PRODUCT

Note! During the training, we will not cover technical requirements for functional safety applications, industry-specific domains (e.g. aviation, automotive, medical devices), hazardous locations (HazLoc), or environmental aspects. The training will cover the following topics: • Conformity assessment as a key tool in preparing a device to meet legal and technical requirements • US legal requirements • Can EU directives be referenced? • machine safety, i.e. OSHA for electrical/electronic equipment in machinery • OSHA • NFPA/NEC • NRTL • electrical safety – Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) • EMC and radio compliance (selected aspects) • 47 CFR 15 Subpart B – Unintentional Radiators • 47 CFR 18 Subpart B – Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Equipment • SDoC, FCC ID • technical standards (selected aspects) • electrical safety • EMC compliance • radio compliance • testing and validation strategy – e.g. for electrical safety: RFQ (request for quotation), critical components, block diagram, photos, nameplate, user manual, production preparation, test preparation, costs, communication, certificates, NRTL mark, product maintenance, challenges and typical mistakes

The objective of the training is to discuss the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU, present methods for product conformity assessment, and provide examples of conducting conformity assessments under the EMC Directive. The information presented will enable participants to independently assess the scope of regulatory requirements for a selected electrical/electronic product and to select applicable standards. The following topics will also be covered: • How to prepare a product for testing • How to correctly label a device • What must be included in the user manual • What documentation is required to confirm that a conformity assessment has been carried out Main objectives of the training • Presentation of key legal acts • Presentation of the requirements of the EMC Directive – with explanations and examples • Demonstration of project and product strategy methods ensuring that a product placed on the market is safe and compliant with Polish and European Union requirements • Training on how to perform conformity assessment • Product and design technical documentation Training program: • Introduction • EMC Directive • Guide for the EMCD (Directive 2014/30/EU) – March 2018 • Blue Guide – implementation of EU product regulations 2016 Within the discussed documents, the following aspects will be presented: • Overview of key legal acts • Explanation of definitions and scope of obligations for participants in the product supply chain • Essential product requirements • Presentation of EMC Directive requirements – with examples • Product and design technical documentation • Device conformity assessment process • Exercises, examples, questions

The objective of the training is to discuss the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, present methods for product conformity assessment, and provide examples of conducting conformity assessments under the LVD. The information presented will enable participants to independently assess the scope of regulatory requirements for a selected electrical/electronic product and to select applicable standards. The following topics will also be covered: • How to prepare a product for testing • How to correctly label a device • What must be included in the user manual • What documentation is required to confirm that a conformity assessment has been carried out Main objectives of the training: • Presentation of key legal acts • Presentation of the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) – with explanations and examples • Demonstration of project and product strategy methods ensuring that a product placed on the market is safe and compliant with Polish and European Union requirements • Training on how to perform conformity assessment • Product and design technical documentation Training program: • Introduction • General information on New Approach Directives • Concept of the New Approach Directive framework • Regulation 768/2008/EC and the conformity assessment module system • Most commonly used directives in industry and their modules • Structure of directives • Application – EU, EFTA and Switzerland • CE marking – always required? Which directives apply? Where to find the template? • Declaration of Conformity • EC vs EU – source of confusion • Exercises, examples, questions • Standards (approx. 90 minutes) • How to work with standards • Standard types A, B, C • Harmonised standards • Other standards, guidelines, or “good engineering practice” • How to select a standard for a product • Exercises, examples, questions • Introduction to the LVD • Economic operators • Definitions • Scope and exclusions • Exercises, examples, questions • Annex I: Essential elements • General conditions • Protection against hazards caused by electrical equipment • Other hazards • Risk analysis principles (based on Guide 32) • Selected topics from EN 60204-1 • Conformity assessment process for equipment • Exercises, examples, questions
