1.12 Agency certification

1.12.1 Safety certification

The drives are recognized in accordance with UL 1950 and CSA C22.2

(950)and meet all applicable sections of IEC950 and EN 60950 as tested by TUV North America.

1.12.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility

Hard drives that display the CE marking comply with European Union requirements specified in Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives. Testing is performed to standards EN50082-1 and EN55022-B.

Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in representative end-user systems. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives. The drive is designed for operation inside a properly designed enclosure, with prop- erly shielded I/O cable (if necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O ports. Computer manufacturers and system integrators should confirm EMC compliance and provide CE marking for their products.

Australian C-Tick

If these models have the C-Tick marking, they comply with the Australia/ New Zealand Standard AS/NZS3548 1995 and meet the Electromag- netic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of Australia’s Spec- trum Management Agency (SMA).
