This book gives a step-by-step
procedure for CE marking of electrical and electronic equipment including
risk assessment. The book covers, in detail, five important
directives viz. low voltage directive (LVD), electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) directive, medical devices directive (MDD), radio equipment directive
(RED) and the RoHS directive. It provides insights into product design
and test methodologies especially EMC and product SAFETY so that the product
meets the technical requirements of the applicable standards. It also seeks
to clarify the many doubts and misconceptions about CE marking.
The book begins with a chapter that
introduces the reader to the nuances of the CE marking process,
the conformity assessment modules and to compile supporting documents
that illustrate the process. This is followed by the chapter on product
safety which describes the principles of safety as found in the
international IEC and European harmonized safety standards. It provides ways
and means to improve product design so as to ensure reasonable compliance when
a product is subject to safety evaluation by a test laboratory.
Then, there are two chapters dedicated
to EMC. One explains the EMC fundamentals, standards and the test
methodology while the other deals with EMC design. The design chapter
contains ways and means to incorporate EMC measures like line filters,
shielding, grounding and cable routing at the design stage so that the
product can comply with the EMC tests with a minimum of
iterations. The design means discussed are very practical in nature
and are given in such a way that the design engineer can immediately incorporate
them without worrying too much about theory.
All the directives now-a-days require
a detailed risk assessment to be carried out in addition to
testing as per standards. Thereafter the risk assessment needs to be documented
so as to demonstrate how the risks have been reduced/eliminated. The book deals
with the risk assessment in detail for all the directives under consideration.
And last but not the least, the CE marking procedure is not complete unless the entire process is documented through the so-called technical file or technical documentation. The last chapter explains the compilation of technical documentation as required by the directives and the European surveillance authorities.
