    Thanks I wasn't sure if the standards were contract based or not.

    Supplier of IEC 417 Labels

    Does anyone know of a supplier of IEC 417 labels preferably in Canada. I'm specifically looking for the protective conductor terminal label (ground symbol with a circle around it) to meet CSA/IEC 1010-1 and UL 3111-1 standards. Thanks, Mike

    ATEX Type 'n' and Type 'e' Protection

    Our company recently had our system certified for type 'n' (EN 50021). In terms of our hardware how much more is involved is the type 'e' protection (EN 50019). From what I understand of the ATEX directive this would also require us to go from a relatively simple self-declaration to having a...

    Requirements for Shipboard Cable

    Are there certain standards that cable must meet to be placed on an off shore oil rig in Europe ie. IEC 60092-3 Design Guidlines - Marine Shipboard Cable IEC 60332-3/A - Flame Retardance IEC 60331 - Fire Resistance IEC 60754-1,2 - Halogen Free IEC 61034-1,2 - Smoke Density or is this up to...

    Are IEC 332 and IEC 60332 the same?

    Hello, I am from Canada and am not very familiar with IEC standards. I would like to know if IEC 332 and IEC 60332 are the same and the "60" is just a prefix with these standards. Thanks, Mike

    NPT & NPTF

    Are NPT and NPTF threads compatible? I'd like to connect a filter which attaches to the tubing through a female NPT threaded inlet. Our supplier only has JIC to NPTF adapters, so if I can I'd like to order one of these from our regular supplier, rather than have to order a JIC to NPT from...

    Is Welding Certification Needed in this Case?

    The fittings are built to ASME B31.3. The fitting is pressure tested after the final weld. I haven't been able to talk to my AI yet, he's very hard to get a hold of. I figured it would be necessary I just wanted to be certain. Does anyone have any useful links about qualifying tack welds...

    Is Welding Certification Needed in this Case?

    I just realized I put Section 8, when I meant Section 9 - Welding and Brazing Qualifications. I want to know if a PQR and WPS will be necessary for this weld even though its a safety precaution and does not assist in pressure containment. Thanks

    Is Welding Certification Needed in this Case?

    My company makes a fitting that has three welds. Two of the welds are fairly standard and we have certified PQR's and WPS's to cover them. In the fitting there is a 1/16-27 NPTF threaded hole. This is used to fill the interior with an inert gas while welding and after the first two welds are...

    Another Tech File Question

    The directives say that the technical file must be kept by the manufacturer or representitive established in the community. What is meant by "established"? Does that mean located in Europe or just recognized by the standard authorities there. I'm assuming it means located in Europe...

    CE Mark Technical File

    Hello I'm from Canada and am trying to certify a product for the European market. The ATEX and EMC directives apply to the product. I've read some guides about CE Marking and some say (for example http://www.industry.gatech.edu/quality/quality_news_textfile.html ) that the Technical File...

    CE Mark and ASME

    I have found British equivalent standards for CE Mark certification, but I am looking for equivalent ASME codes (if they can be used for the CE Mark?) for the low voltage, electromagnetic, and pressure equipment directives. If anyone is familiar with the CE mark process, is it necessary (or...

    Flanged Fitting

    Thank you deanc. I was looking for guidance, like you gave, to get started because these codes seem a little overwhelming at first. Here is some more information: The adapter is for the lube and scavenge pump on a gas turbine. It is attached using the stock bolts and gasket from the turbine...
