Compliance

CE Compliance

The unit has been designed and tested to comply with directive 73/23/EEC and its subsequent amendments by the European Community (EC or CE). The directive relates to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits. It ensures that electrical equipment is constructed with good engineering practice in safety matters.

The unit has been designed and tested to comply with directive 89/336/EEC and its subsequent amendments. The directive relates to electromagnetic compatibility. It demands that electromagnetic disturbance does not exceed a prescribed level; that the equipment be immune to a prescribed level of ambient level of interference; that the equipment be protected against electrostatic discharges; and that the equipment be immune to all electrical shock wave disturbances. As of 1997, measures have been added to test for fire hazard, electric shock hazard, and also external exposure to other forms of energy.

The requirements specified by directive 89/336/EEC are as follows. CE compliance requires that the manufacturer or its authorized representative established within the Community affix the CE conformity mark to the apparatus or else to the packaging, instructions for use, or guarantee certificate. The CE conformity mark shall consist of the letters CE as specified and the figures of the year in which the mark was affixed. This mark should, where appropriate, be accompanied by the distinctive letters used by the notified body issuing the CE type- examination certificate. Where the apparatus is the subject of other Directives providing for the CE conformity mark, the affixing of the CE mark shall also indicate conformity with the relevant requirements of those other Directives.

FDA-CDRH Compliance

Under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the unit complies with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, Subchapter J, which pertains to laser safety and labeling. See http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/cfr/21cfr1000- 1050.pdf for more information.

CSA / IEC Compliance

The unit complies with certain standards of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The unit is in Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) II under IEC 664. IEC 664 relates to impulse voltage levels and insulation coordination. The particular category is defined as: local level, appliances, portable equipment, etc, with smaller transient overvoltages than Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) III.

The unit is in the Pollution Degree 2 category under IEC 1010-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1010.1. The IEC standard on Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use relates to insulation coordination. The CSA standard is on Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement Control, and Laboratory Use, Part I:

General Requirements. The Pollution Degree 2 category is defined as follows: “Normally only
