Regulatory compliance
Products sold or transferred between companies or operated on company
premises (factory floor, laboratory) do not need CE, FCC or equivalent
certification. Boards or subsystems which cannot provide a useful function on
their own do not need certification.
Certification can only be granted to complete and operational systems. There
are authorized testing agencies, regulatory organizations and laboratories who
will issue certificates of compliance after system testing.
GE Intelligent Platforms designs and tests all their products for EMI/EMC
conformance. Where GE Intelligent Platforms supplies a complete/functional
system for use by end users a certificate will be cited in the manuals/documents
which are provided with the products.
Products manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms should normally be suitable
for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes
or operational systems) without any major redesign or additional filtering.
However, the systems might not conform to specific regulations once
assembled and used. The system integrator or installer must test for compliance
as required in his country or by the intended application and certify this to the
end user.
ESD/EMI issues
ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) issues
may show up in complete and operational systems. There are many ways to
avoid problems with these issues.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity or peripheral
devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If GE Intelligent Platforms
does not manufacture the complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is
the responsibility of the system integrator and end user to protect their system
