AS/NZS 60669
Standards Australia has now released AS/NZS 60669.1 and AS/NZS 60669.2.1. It is important that any electronic switches, including dimmers, wall switches, cordline switches, etc. are tested to the Australian version of the standard, or to the IEC standard including the AU deviations.
AS/NZS 61347.2.13
This standard was released on 30 September 2013 and has some deviations to the IEC standard. We will continue to accept IEC 61347-2-13 with the addition of a deviations report.
Instruction Manuals and Marking
About one third of our rejections are because the marking and instruction manuals have been incorrectly assessed. Please pay special attention to this area. Remember our promise to you is to issue the approval 5 days after receipt of correct documents and you do not want to be held up a further 5 days just because you have supplied the incorrect instruction manual or have missed the marking clause of the standard. It also helps us if the text required by the standard is highlighted in the Instruction Manual which is sent to us.
Earth Connections
We always require a clear photo of the earth connection. This should preferably be included in the test report photos, but can be supplied separately if required. This simple requirement is holding up many applications, so please pay attention to it.[:]
