    Help advice needed please, testing medical devices

    It's not that onerous, but, well there are two buts, the testers are an order of magnitude more in cost than a PAT tester, and, remember if you get it wrong, you can easily kill someone, and then there are two standards you would need to get, I think they come to between £400 & £500 IIRC for...

    Sequential reversing starter for metal detector conveyor

    If it's used for anything else other than "personal"/"private"/"DIY" use, in other words if it is used in a business of ANY kind, it must be CE marked and compliant with the law. This situation of companies building equipment for their own use is specifically included in the Regulations, to...

    Special Purpose Machines

    marconi, That link is primarily related to electronics, this is a machine under the Machinery Directive, and for example if you take the Low Voltage Directive, it has a cut off point of 50V AC, the MD has nothing of the sort, and, in basic terms, if the thing is a machine and has mechanical...

    This must all be CE marked, if it’s not working safely then the law has been broken. Be careful with what you do.

    Remember also, that Turkey whilst not in the EU has adopted EU directives, i.e. Machinery Directive, so the machine will need rebuilding to European standards and equipment rather than USA, you will need to put together a technical file etc. as you would for European machine.

    Fire Rated Clips In Trunking

    AFAIK the tests done by BRE found that plastic wall plugs were fine, the general thoughts are they will last the 30 minute survivability window that the wiring is required to stay in place for.

    Fire Rated Clips In Trunking

    I see what you mean, but, coding relates to the ongoing safety of the electrical installation, and thus the danger it poses. If the guidance published by the “industry” says C2, with reasons and explanation, you may have a difficult time justifying a lower code? Especially when the requirements...

    Fire Rated Clips In Trunking

    “the industry” will be pushing hard for severe coding of this because the lack of fire resistant supports has killed fire fighters who were trying to resuce trapped persons who then also died. The guidance will be C3, and may even be C2.

    BS 1363 socket for EV charger - what kind of RCD?
