Regarding the repeal of FDA Laser Notice 50 in laser certification.
The U.S. FDA has announced that it will abolish Laser Notice 50 regarding laser products by the end of 2024. After 2025, Laser Notice 50 will no longer apply to laser products manufactured, so manufacturers currently adopting this notice will need to take necessary transition measures, such as applying Laser Notice 56, and report to the FDA. Additionally, updates may also be required for UL-certified laser products. UL Solutions will support manufacturers in this regard. For more details, please refer to the article linked below under "Related Links."

Main revisions in ISO 10993-17: 2023 for the biological evaluation of medical devices.
In September 2023, ISO 10993-17 was revised for the first time in nearly 20 years. The ISO 10993 series of standards primarily deals with the biological evaluation of medical devices, and ISO 10993-17 specifies the requirements for the assessment of toxicological risks of substances identified through chemical characterization (ISO 10993-18). ISO 10993-17:2023 introduces new terms and concepts such as Toxicological Screening Limit (TSL), Estimated Exposure Dose (maximum; EEDmax), and release kinetics. It also provides a flowchart illustrating how the toxicological risk assessment framework can be integrated into the risk management process for medical devices and toxicological risk assessment reports.

Safety evaluation service for electric disinfectors with germicidal lamps.
Regarding "electric disinfectors" equipped with germicidal lamps, the interpretation of technical standards (Appendix Table 8) and the interpretation of the scope of electrical appliances under the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law have been revised (Revised and enforced: December 28, 2021). As a result of this revision, it has been clarified that "electric disinfectors" are subject to the regulations of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law not only for those that emit germicidal light solely within the device but also for those that emit light outside the device. Businesses that manufacture or import relevant products need to confirm compliance with the technical standards. The revised interpretation of technical standards (Appendix Table 8) requires consideration of the photobiological safety of electric disinfectors. UL provides services to support the confirmation of compliance with technical standards based on these interpretations. For more details, please check the "Related Links" below.

Brazil: Additional Cybersecurity Requirements for Telecommunications Equipment
On January 5, 2021, Brazil's ANATEL issued Act No. 77, which added cybersecurity requirements for telecommunications equipment (composed of approximately 40 security requirements). From July 4, 2021, for telecommunications equipment connected to the internet or communication lines, the submission of a declaration regarding cybersecurity will be required as part of the application documents for certification. Applicants must submit this declaration to demonstrate that their products meet security requirements and that appropriate measures against vulnerabilities are in place. UL provides services to comply with these cybersecurity requirements and will support your application to Brazil.

EN ISO 13766-1,2:2018 enforcement begins.
The latest EMC standards for construction machinery, EN ISO 13766-1, 2:2018, will become mandatory from July 1, 2021. In the EU, compliance with EU harmonization legislation and the display of CE marking on construction machinery being marketed is required. The harmonized standard for the 2014/30 EU EMC Directive, "EN 13309:2010," will be withdrawn, and the latest standard, "EN ISO 13766-1,2:2018," will be enforced. This enforcement will expand the upper frequency limits for radiated immunity required by EMC and will newly require radio wave irradiation for the construction machinery itself. Additionally, not only in the EU but also in South Africa, EMC testing for finished construction machinery is stipulated as a requirement. UL has a large electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber capable of handling large equipment, such as construction machinery weighing up to 100 tons, and can provide EMC services in accordance with "EN ISO 13766-1,2:2018."
