Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Time: 9:00 AM – 11:45 AM Location: Tektronix Conference Center, 13975 SW Karl Braun Drive Beaverton OR 97077 Cost: $75/$99 (See Registration Section for complete pricing info) CEUs: 0.3 CEUs (3 PDH) awarded upon completion “The IEEE has been approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). In obtaining this approval, the IEEE has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/IACET Standards which are widely recognized as standards of good practice internationally. As a result of their Authorized Provider membership status, IEEE is authorized to offer IACET CEUS for its programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standards.” IACET CEU Provider #1255 This is a half-day technical seminar sponsored by the IEEE Oregon Section. Registration/check-in starts at 8:30 am, with the seminar starting promptly at 9:00. In this three-part seminar, you will learn about the most recent developments in product compliance regulations in electromagnetic compatibility, safety, and waste equipment disposal. This workshop consists of these three Modules: <ul><li>The Evolution of Electromagnetic Compatibility and a Comparison of Test Standards - Benitez </li><li>Accessibility and Insulation Types for IEC 61010-1 Compliance - Warren </li><li>Worldwide WEEE Regulations - Schroeder </ul> Workshop Description **Module 1 - The Evolution of Electromagnetic Compatibility and a Comparison of Test Standards – Henry Benitez This session will review the evolution electromagnetic compatibility since the 1800’s when Maxwell’s equations were first developed until today. A review of common product family and generic product standards will be provided along with a comparison of the basic test standard and specified test levels. **Module 2 - Accessibility and Insulation Types for IEC 61010-1 Compliance – Al Warren This talk will be a review of Accessibility and Insulation types that relate to the evaluation of Creepage and Clearance per IEC 61010-1 “Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – Part 1: General requirements”. Part 1 specifies general safety requirements for electrical equipment intended for professional, industrial process, and educational use. **Module 3 - Worldwide WEEE Regulations – George Schroeder This talk will present an overview of the current status of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) requirements around the globe. WEEE together with RoHS (lead-free) by the European Community set collection, recycling and recovery standards for manufacturers for disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Topics covered will include fees, documentation, local regulations and take-back arrangements. Who should attend the seminar: This course is intended for engineering professionals – design and manufacturing engineers, compliance engineers/managers, product engineers/managers, manufacturing and product development managers. Prerequisites: Experience or education (AS or BS level) in electronic (or electrical) engineering, physics, computer engineering, related scientific fields. What you will learn: The purpose of this seminar is to present the most recent developments in product compliance regulations in electromagnetic compatibility, safety, and waste equipment disposal.
