Even 61429 does not make it clear because this related to batteries of

varying size. This may help:

lines.pdf



EN 61429 refers to ISO 7000-1135, so if anyone has a copy see what that

says.



However we were advised to make the "1.5a" of the bin no less than the

minimum height required for the CE mark (5mm).

Subject: [LF] EN 50419 dimensions WEEE symbol



 

Hello Newsgroup members.



In the standard EN 50419 the dimensions of the WEEE symbol is described

The additional symbol as described in 4.1 b) 2) has to consists of a

filled BAR of height h and width a.

The height has to be equal to the largest value out of the two values

0.3*a or 1 mm.

Using all ratios as shown in the drawing on page 6 of the standard the

smallest size would be attained when 0.3 *a is equal to 1mm. => This

would be 4 * 7 mm



However if the size is decreased further while the height of the bar is

maintained the symbol can shrink until the bar touches the cross. In

this case 0.6 * a is equal to 1mm. 0.3 * a is than 0.5 mm and the

largest of 0.5 and 1 is 1 mm. The bar is still 1 mm high so we follow

the rule.

The Bar in relation to the symbol will then look a bit different but

that is not prohibited if one reads the description.

The smallest symbol will be will be 3.5 * 2 mm. in size.



How must we interprete above? 



Best Regards



Jan Mobers
