58.0. "Quality test & KAV30" by MLN08::CASTELLUCCI (EIS - Italy /DTN: *793-2292) Mon Jun 22 1992 17:50

	I have to offer 23 systems (1 system = 2 decsystem + 1 KAV30)
	to the National Electricity Board of Italy (ENEL) and I'm requested
	to provide all the available data regarding the quality test
	of all components of the system.

	Where to find out the KAV30 data ?

	Thanks/Aldo

	ps: At the moment I don't have the complete list of
	    the parameters but it's a very long list to translate

Aldo,

He can give you the pointers where to get the 

                 - KAV30 H/W Installation Guide
                 - Purchase Spec
                 - Test Reports (hardcopy)
                 - H/W Test Summary (hardcopy)

These are the documents you'll find all the information you need.

   - These numbers are given in the KAV30 H/W Installation Guide:

           Temperature and Humidity
           Power Supply Spec
           Bus Load Spec
           Timing Spec

   - The Purchase Spec refers to the DECstandards whereas the 

   - H/W Test Summary
     (not an official document) lists most the test procedures and contains
     a form that summarizes the key data.

   - The test report for shock and vibration contains all the diagrams. I don't
     think that this is what you want.
     


The DECstandards cover most of EN60950, however I can remember that the labels
have been tested separately to ensure EN60950 compliance.


Note that the EIC Munich got an ISO9000 cerificate.        




The product is qualified according to the DECstandards applicable for worldwide
products (Class A).


This is what you should look for (no guarantee that this list is complete):

         Other legal requirements: the amount of lithium contained in the 
                                   battery is below the limit (0.5g ?) where 
                                   export restrictions apply.


         Other issues:             Although EMC cannot be specified for board
                                   level products it is worth noting that the
                                   KAV30 is designed to reduce emmissions when
                                   used in EMC crates. An inhouse test proved
                                   that FCC compliance can be achieved.

                                   (For your info: standard VME crates are 
                                    not designed to meet FCC. The poor
                                    shielding of the crates and the front 
                                    panel can cause some problems. The KAV30 
                                    fully supports EMC crates.)
