(openPR) - American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) has updated and expanded its CE approval for its pressure sensor, transducer, transmitter and switch product families. AST products with the CE logo conform to EMC Directive 2004/108/EC for Electromagnetic Compatibility.

Tested by the independent laboratory, TUV Rheinland in Newton, CT, each product was evaluated for performance against radiated emissions, electrostatic discharge (ESD), radiated immunity, electrical fast transient (EFT), surge immunity, conducted immunity, and power frequency magnetic field immunity.

Products were tested and approved to the following standards:
• EN61326-1:2006
• EN61326-2-3:2006
• EN61000-6-1:2007
• EN61000-6-3:2007
• EN55011:2007+A2:2007 & FCC Part 15
• ICES-003, EN55011:2007+A2:2007 & FCC Part 15 (Radiated Emissions)
• EN61000-4-2:1995 + A1:1999 +A2:2001
• EN61000-4-3:2006
• EN61000-4-4:2004
• EN61000-4-5:2005
• EN6100-4-6:2007
• EN61000-4-8:1993 + A1:2001

Products approved to the new standards include: AST2000, AST20HA, AST4000, AST4200, AST4300, AST43LP, AST4310, AST4400, AST44LP, AST4410, AST4500, AST4510, AST4520, AST4600, AST46HA, AST4700, AST4710, AST47LP, AST47HP, AST47SM, AST4900, Model1000 and Model5000.
