About the author and guides

 

Edward Eszlari has been working in the Product Safety field for over twenty two years investigating and certifying all types of products for highly respected manufacturers of Information Technology, Audio and Video, Laboratory, Household and Telecommunication Equipment. Edward started his career as a Technician performing construction analysis on components such as transformers and ensuring the trace to trace distance on printed circuit boards were compliant with the testing standard. Working his way up the ladder he learned to investigate, test and certify products, which eventually earned him the titles of Senior Product Safety Engineer and Technical Expert, thus gaining the respect of other Safety Engineers in the industry. Being employed by a major European based Product Safety Agency for much of this time, he was able to gather a great deal of information about the standards and learned how these requirements were to be applied to different types of products. With this knowledge in hand he was able to create the guides that are now available at the Product Safety Zone making it easy for manufacturers to bring their products to at least 90% compliant with the standard with a minimal amount of effort and time which ends up saving the manufacturer a great deal of money and gets the product to market quickly.

 

The Product Safety Guides came about due to customers frequently calling the Safety Agency asking many questions regarding the design of their product according to a particular test standard. Because these phone calls were so frequent and repetitive, Edward had an idea that would help the customer easily locate the answer to his design questions ……create a guide that answered the questions that have been asked,  include design tips, and outline the most important clauses within the test standard that applied to most of the products that passed through the Safety Agency. The guide would help two fold, free the Safety Engineers time so less time is spent on the phone, and the products that will be submitted after the guides are applied to a product will be almost completely compliant, therefore helping the customer bring their product to market faster. The guides were meant to be as small as possible without omitting the important information, so a survey was taken of some customers in order to determine the correct size of a guide that will actually be read and understood.  

 

Quite a bit of time was spent creating and updating the guides as you see them today and we can assure you that each guide will more than pay for itself with the first product you apply it to.
