Essential Reminder: China MIIT Publishes New Handset Charger StandardIn January 2010, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has published updated mobile charger standard YD/T 1591-2009, titled "Technical Requirements and Test Methods for Chargers and Data Interfaces for Mobile Telecommunications Terminals," It has many differences compared to former standard “ YD/T 1591-2006 : Technical Requirement and Test Method of Charger and Interface for Mobile Telecommunication Terminal Equipment” . For example, it requires Plug in/plug out of connector socket of Power Adapter (USB-A) for 3000 periods at the maximum speed during the 200 periods of one hour, after the plugging ends, the mechanical structure should not be damaged. The required minimum force for pulling the connection plug out from the socket is not less than 8N. More requirement details of updated standard YD/T 1591-2009, please do not hesitate to contact Bureau Veritas ADT International Approval Department. |

Essential Reminder: New Safety Requirement IEC 62368 has been releasedIEC released new Safety Requirement IEC 62368 just in January 2010. It will have an impact on the manufacturers of electronic equipment within the field of audio/video, but also make improvement on the Safety Regulations. IEC/TC108 recommends that the first edition of this standard be considered as an alternative to IEC 60065 or IEC 60950-1 at least over the recommended five years transition period. However, manufacturers and testing organizations may need to make products be in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests earlier. IEC 62368-1 is based on the principles of hazard based safety engineering, which is a different way of developing and specifying safety considerations than that of the current practice. It is not the combination of current practices. It will be less technology (construction) dependent and more performance based, and the objective is that it will allow for implementation to a broader range of products and applications without the types of delays commonly encountered waiting for the standard to catch up to new technology/ constructions. The predominant reason behind the creation of IEC 62368-1 is to simplify the problems created by the merging of the technologies of ITE and CE. |

TV Energy Efficiency Standards Set in California: NY, MA and WA Bills Seek to ReplicateNational Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL) participant and New York State Assembly member Brian Kavanagh has introduced legislation to mirror television energy efficiency standards that were adopted by California in November 2009. The California standards require TV’s with a 58-inch screen or less to consume 33% less energy by January 2011 and 49% less energy by 2013. Similar legislation to adopt California’s TV standards has been introduced in Massachusetts, H3124 by NCEL participant Representative Frank Smizik, and in Washington, HB2146 by NCEL participants Representatives Jeff Morris, Maralyn Chase, Dawn Morrell, and Dave Upthegrove. |
