Advice on IT and consumer electronics
standard
SGS has offered advice on which tests should be carried out to make sure products still comply with the requirements of the updated standards for IT and consumer electronics equipment.
Cenelec has published a new list of standards to replace the earlier ones used for IT, audio, video and similar equipment Cenelec regulations state that products cannot be tested according to the old standards after their Date of Withdrawal (DOW), however the new standards may already be used for testing and certification
EU directives require products to be manufactured according to the new standards no later than the so-called DOC-date (Date of Cessation).
Products have to fulfil the CE-marking requirements by the DOC.
Normally the DOC is the same as the DOW but there can be some exceptions.
SGS can advise on which tests should be carried out to make sure your product still complies with the new requirements. Request a free brochure from SGS ...
