Safety Testing Requirements? Where? Resources?

Oct 25, 2004 2 Replies

I'm curious about the safety testing requirements of consumer electronics.



If I have a unit that is not powered by direct AC connection (say, through a previously tested and approved low voltage AC or DC wall plug), do I need to get safety approvals?



If I had internal transformer from 120V, I'm guessing that I would.



Is there a good place that outlines the requirements, process, and resources associated with this?



Thanks for any help!

You could start with telling us what country you are in, and what country(ies) you plan on sending this unit too. The laws vary widely. A good place to start would be Underwriters Laboratories for the USA.
