CE-marking – Conformité Européenne
The CE mark is an obligatory European sign applied to a number of product groups in order to specify compliance with the necessary health and safety requirements specified in European Directives. 'CE' is an abbreviation, standing for the name “Conformité Européenne” which is French for European conformity and the fact that our products carry the CE mark indicates that they comply with the requirements set out in the LVD and EMC directives.
EMC- Electro Magnetic Compatibility
Applicable to apparatuses that may be liable to trigger electromagnetic disturbances or those which such disturbances might affect the performance of. The directive sets out the requirements for protection and the procedures for inspection relating to Electro Magnetic Compatibility. Learn more about EMC.
LVD - Low voltage directive
The Low Voltage Directive guarantees that electrical equipment within specified limits of voltage is safe for the uses for which it is intended. Learn more about LVD.UL - Underwriters Laboratories
Electric materials should be built so that they do not pose any risk to people, property or domestic animals when properly installed, correctly maintained and utilized according to its intended purpose. Beijer Electronics’ products comply with the UL listing mark, indicating that the product has been thoroughly tested and has UL received approval. Learn more about UL.DNV - Det Norske veritas
DNV creates and determines guidelines and rules pertaining to the classification of ships, offshore mobile-platforms and other floating marine structures. In addition, DNV establishes standards and rules for classification, verification and certification of fixed offshore structures. Learn more about DNV.GL – Germanisher Lloyd
Germanischer Lloyd improves and supervises quality and safety on behalf of the maritime industry and industrial businesses, chiefly for ships and in the areas of industrial and maritime installations. Learn more about GL.IP65/IP66
The IP, or Ingress Protection, classification refers to the enclosure’s level of protection against ingress from dust or water. The numbers refer to the degree of protection.IP65 = Dust proof and protected from water splashes and low-pressure water jets
IP66 = Dust proof and protected from high-pressure water jets
The IP classification is based upon standards issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Learn more about the IEC.
NEMA 4X
NEMA stands for the “National Electrical Manufacturers Association” class of coating used in the US and The NEMA 4X rating is intended for indoor use only. Learn more about NEMA.RoHS - Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
The RoHS directive came into effect on the 1st of July, 2006. It is important to note that the RoHS is a directive - but not a law – restricting the utilization of six hazardous materials within the production of different types of electrical and electronic equipment. Learn more about RoHs.EAR- Export Administration Regulation
The US authority’s approval for EXTER-based platform panels owing to the encryption technologies in the X-scale processor and Windows CE. Learn more about EAR.Reliability Prediction
This basically refers to the analysis of components and parts that attempts to calculate and predict failure rates for various items. It is one of the most widespread forms of reliability analyses used for evaluating failure rates and MTBF. Learn more about Realiability Prediction.
MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures
The MTBF refers to the average value for the period of time between repeated failures under specified conditions, for a specified period in the life of a functional unit. Results are given in hours and refer to the time taken prior to the failure of 68% of the tested product.
FRT – Failure Rate
Failure rate refers to the amount of failures per million operation-hours.
