A brief introduction and extracts of COURSE DETAILS appears below.
Background...
The manufacturing world is changing. Product compliance is essential
to legally market in most countries. CE compliance will allow access
to the largest market in the world as well as opening up the rest of the
world’s markets. This new series of 8 stand alone courses will help
you to survive compliance and prosper in global markets.
Complying with new directives affect goods supplied in the European
Union, including four on environmental design assessment, recycling
of packaging and goods, and banning lead in solder. Major changes to
EMC immunity tests in mid 2001 include conducted and modulated
fields and surges. The modulated fields effectively double the current test levels
and can cause problems for any product, but their main effect is to cause
almost all existing analogue circuits to fail. The new ITE emission standard,
EN55022/AS/NZS3548 will set new limits for conducted emissions on telecoms
signal cables.
Systems and installations are becoming more complex, contain sophisticated electronics and software, and so are much more
likely to suffer from EMI and RFI. Contracts nearly always include compliance and tough penalties for lateness. The assumption CE+CE=CE is often incorrect and despite these problems, companies continue to risk assembly and installation techniques
which became unsuitable many years ago.
Most designers waste their company’s time and money by leaving safety and EMC issues until after they have got their designs
to work. A vital competitive weapon is therefore ignored by most managers,
even though it still works even where EMC regulations don’t apply.
One manufacturer recently spent £100,000 improving their products
along the lines Keith recommends - they saved £2.7 million in warranty
costs in the next year. Tell your financial director, and get him to come.
Only well-informed manufacturers and engineers can survive compliance
and prosper in global markets. These NEW and unique courses, presented by one of Europe’s leading practising experts, help
provide that information.
Participants will receive the following documents:
- A bound copy of the slides and notes
- A floppy disc which hyperlinks to websites containing the harmonised standards, guidelines, and other useful information
for 22 directives and draft directives
- A CD-ROM containing all six of Keith’s “Design techniques
for EMC” articles from the UK EMC Journal – can be used as a stand alone reference book
- A soft copy of “IEE Guidance Document
on EMC and Functional Safety” – NEW
Directors and Managers updating management awareness
EMC for Competitiveness – 1/2 day
EMC is the new competitive weapon,
even where no EMC regulations apply.
Those Other Directives – 1/2 day
16 directives you may not have heard of, but will soon need to.
