1845.0. "DEFPA-AA and IEC 825 standard" by NEASSG::MARTINELLO (Don't Panic) Fri Oct 27 1995 15:21

    Hi,
    
    Does anyone know if the DEFPA-AA conforms to the IEC 825 standard.
    
    Inquiring customers want to know.
    
    Thanks,

    Help me out.  What exactly *is* the IEC 825 standard?  Can you get us a
    copy of it?
    
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    
    I don't know what it is. I have a request from a manager who was called
    by a customer. That is why I am asking here. I have never heard of
    "iec" . Thinking about it though maybe it is IEEE 825, I will have to
    call the customer personaly to find out.
    
    Thanks

1845.3IEC 825 = Eye SafetyNPSS::KIRKMon Oct 30 1995 08:3814
    IEC 825 is a European Standard regarding optical sources (LED and
    lasers) and their classification as to safety.  The important
    class is Class 1 - the most safe class of lasers or LED. If an optical
    device is classified as a Class 1 device, then it is considered as not
    presenting any hazards to people - especially eye hazards.
    
    ALL of our FDDI, ATM, and Ethernet Optical network products use optical
    devices that are certified to be Class 1 devices.  This applies to LED
    based devices, such as the DEFPA-AA, and even to our laser based FDDI
    and ATM products.  Class 1 Optical safety limits are a must item for
    the products that we design.

1845.8Need DocumentationNEASSG::MARTINELLODon't PanicMon Oct 30 1995 15:5410
    Hi,
    
    Does anyone know is the DEFPA-AA meets IEC 825 standards. As it turns
    out the customer is an OEM and has to prove to his customer that the
    module is complient in order to sell the units. So I need to send him
    something documented.
    
    Thanks Again,

    Joe,
    
    Dick already stated in .3 that the DEFPA meets or exceeds this
    specification.  If you need something documented to that effect, please
    contact George Nielsen (DELNI::G_NIELSEN) who is the product manager
    or Ron Steffero (DELNI::RONSTEFFERO) who is the OEM manager.
