SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

The following is a brief summary of the new sub-clauses in the Standard for Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60950-1, which have a future Effective Date of July 13, 2007 and the action that may be required to determine compliance.

Annex/Sub-clauses General Subject and Comment Annex NAF.1.2.13.15, A HOUSEHOLD/HOME OFFICE DOCUMENT SHREDDER is defined as a Document Shredder, product with a plug configuration associated with PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT Household/Home TYPE A designed to shred paper or other forms of media, including but not Office, Definition limited to digital video disks, compact disks, flash memory, magnetic strip cards, or magnetic disks, as instructed by the manufacturer. Annex NAF.1.7, For HOUSEHOLD/HOME OFFICE DOCUMENT SHREDDERS, symbols Markings and alerting the USER to key considerations are required to be provided adjacent Instructions to the document feed opening. These consideration include: product is not intended for use by children (product is not a toy); avoid touching the document feed opening with hands; avoid clothing touching the document feed opening; avoid hair touching the document feed opening; and keep aerosol products away (for products incorporating a universal (brush) motor only).

Additionally, the symbol (ISO 7000-0434) is required to be marked adjacent to the document feed opening to alert the USER to the presence of important operating, maintenance and/or servicing instructions in the USER instructions accompanying the product, and the symbols required above are required to be explained in the instructions. The markings are required to be permanent, comprehensible and easily discernible on the equipment when ready for use. Compliance is checked by inspection. Annex NAF.2.8.3, Any accessible SAFETY INTERLOCK that can be operated by means of the Inadvertent reaction articulated accessibility probe (figure NAF.1) is considered likely to cause inadvertent reactivation of the hazard.

Compliance is checked by inspection and, where necessary, by a test with the articulated accessibility probe (figure NAF.1). Annex NAF.3.4, An isolating switch complying with 3.4.2 is required to be provided to Disconnection from the disconnect power to hazardous moving parts. This switch may be a two- Mains Supply position (single-purpose) switch or a multi-position (multi-function) switch (e.g., a slide switch).

The “ON” and “OFF” positions of a two-position switch are required to be marked in accordance with 1.7.8. For multi-position switches, the “OFF” position of the switch is required to be marked in accordance with 1.7.8, and the other positions are required to be marked with appropriate words or symbols. If symbols are used, they are required to be explained in the user instructions. Compliance is checked by inspection. Subject No. Page 2 of 2 (action required letter date

Annex NAF.4.4, For HOUSEHOLD/HOME OFFICE DOCUMENT SHREDDERS, a warning Protection against statement is not permitted in lieu of construction features that prevent access hazardous moving to hazardous moving parts. parts When assessing compliance with accessibility requirements, the articulated accessibility probe illustrated (figure NAF.1) is inserted into each opening in the MECHANICAL ENCLOSURE, without appreciable force. The probe is not permitted to contact hazardous moving parts. This consideration applies to all sides of the mechanical enclosure when the document shredder is mounted as intended.

The accessibility probe/wedge illustrated in figures NAF.2 and NAF.3 is inserted into each opening in the MECHANICAL ENCLOSURE. A force not exceeding 45 N for strip-cut type shredders and not exceeding 90 N for cross- cut type shredders is applied to the probe/wedge in any direction relative to the opening. Before application of the accessibility probe/ wedge, any MECHANICAL ENCLOSURES or guards that are removable without the use of a tool will be removed. The probe/wedge is not permitted to contact hazardous moving parts, including shredding rollers/mechanisms. The mass of the accessibility probe/wedge is permitted to be factored into the overall applied force.
