TÜV Rheinland Middle East’s Post

📅🏭 As of January 20th, 2027, the CE marking of machines or the assessment of partly completed machines will be mandatory in Europe according to the Machinery Regulation EU 2023/1230. Use the transition period to adapt your machines and processes according to the regulation. Our flyer informs you about the most important changes. Download now [Flyer] 🔄 Transition period: Machines placed on the market or put into operation before January 20, 2027, must still be CE marked according to the old Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. 📝 Changes in content: The new Machinery Directive brings with it a number of innovations, including expanded requirements for functional safety (e.g., software), aspects of cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. In addition, safety requirements for autonomous (mobile) machines have been added. 🛠️ Take advantage of TÜV Rheinland's expertise: We will be happy to carry out the testing of your current machinery in accordance with the essential health and safety requirements of Annex III. In addition, we offer you the option of having Annex III of the Machinery Ordinance already tested for new machine developments. Download flyer now: https://lnkd.in/gitqqMdk

SBIR 24.4 Release 5 (Digital Projection Close Quarters Sight (DP-CQS)) in now live! Please submit NLT 14 May 2024 12:00 PM ET (Noon) Click here to submit: https://lnkd.in/grVicdQy Objective:  The objective of this topic is to develop applied research toward an innovative solution that will provide a compact, close-quarters sight that has multiple user-selectable and user-configurable ballistic reticles, while eliminating mechanical adjustors to improve system stability under thermal and mechanical shock by utilizing a digital screen projected onto a transparent surface for the user to look/aim through. ITAR:  The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which controls dual use items. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals (FNs), their country(ies) of origin, the type of visa or work permit possessed, and the statement of work (SOW) tasks intended for accomplishment by the FN(s) in accordance with section 3.5 of the Announcement. Offerors are advised foreign nationals proposed to perform on this topic may be restricted due to the technical data under US Export Control Laws. Description:  As a part of this feasibility study, the proposers shall address all viable overall system design options with respective specifications to innovatively design a 1x (non-magnified) direct view optic that projects a digital screen/reticle onto a transparent surface for the operator to look/aim through. The DP-CQS shall allow the user to configure and store at least 3 different digital reticle configurations with different types of ballistic features and shall include the ability for the center dot/aim point to be brighter than other displayed features. The DP-CQS shall have no mechanical boresight adjustors and shall be designed as a sealed optical system with low Size Weight and Power (SWaP) with a 72-hour continuous battery run time, utilizing no more than 1x CR123 or L91 battery. The DPCQS shall communicate with external devices to receive range/ballistic data, and user configured/updated reticles. The feasibility study should consider technologies to eliminate scattering of light to provide a sharp edge to all reticle features, while also minimizing unwanted color shift of the direct-view scene. The DP-CQS shall mount to a MIL-STD 1913 Rail. #innovative #solution #compact #ballistic #reticles #thermal #mechanical #shock #reddot #weaponoptic #digitalprojection #HUD #closequarters #reflexsight

The Future of Mind-Reading Devices: Compliance Challenges in a Neural-Driven World Imagine a world where headphones can read your mind. With the rise of neural technology, this is not science fiction anymore. At CES 2024, we saw neural earbuds that could potentially allow users to control devices like laptops through brainwave sensors. While this is ground-breaking, it also opens up new challenges for product testing and compliance. How do we ensure that these devices meet safety and performance standards across multiple regions? 💡 Thought to consider: As technology pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, how do we evolve testing protocols to ensure that mind-reading devices not only function seamlessly but also remain safe for users worldwide? 📊 Curious about how new technologies like these could impact your product's compliance process? Drop a comment or message us at australia@c-prav.com directly to discuss!

What’s the difference between static and dynamic calibrations?   A static calibration is performed in a service bay and requires a target system with a scan tool, whereas a dynamic calibration is performed through a test drive and usually requires a scan tool. Dynamic calibrations are also easier to do and require less equipment to perform. While technicians need to meet specific criteria in both calibrations, it is important to consider the traffic and lane markings on the roads near your shop and the distance required to perform a proper dynamic calibration.   Not every vehicle needs both types of calibrations. If shops are repairing more domestic vehicles, there will be more of an emphasis on dynamic calibrations while Asian vehicles require more static calibrations. And, in some cases, both static and dynamic calibrations are required. The type of calibration you will need to perform is directly correlated with your shop’s car parc.    Determining how to bring calibrations in-house is just the beginning. Then, it’s time to find your people. As calibrations evolve, technicians need to be trained on the equipment and technology to perform the safest and most efficient repair. Shops are looking for technicians that think outside the box and want to continually grow their skillset.    When shops partner with asTech - Driven by Repairify, we provide extensive training and the proper equipment to help guide technicians along the repair plan. Amid the current labor shortage, a partnership supplies your shop with the tools, equipment, and support to make bringing calibrations in-house less daunting.   Learn more from asTech’s “Building your ADAS Calibration Roadmap” Lunch and Learn: https://lnkd.in/evZZpHey
