Compliance

Many of our products have been tested for CE marking, which reflects FCC compliance, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), EMI (electromagnetic interference), RF emissions, RF immunity, and the ability to survive ESD (electrostatic discharge).  Part of the CE mark is a Declaration of Conformity where we describe the standards LabJack devices are tested to meet. Our Declarations of Conformity can be found below.

All LabJack-branded products are CEREACHRoHS2, and CFM (Conflict-Free Minerals) compliant.

Letter of Volatility (LoV)

Letters of Volatility (LoV) document the memory architecture of a device, detailing which memory is volatile or non-volatile, how data is stored, and how memory can be cleared. Links to LabJack's Letters of Volatility are listed below.

Certificate of Conformance

Also called a Certificate of Conformity, Certificate of Compliance, or CoC. This is a simple industry standard document stating that our products comply with our standards for quality, specifications, and workmanship.

If you need a different variation please contact us.

UL, CSA or Similar Electrical Safety Standards

All Labjack products are low voltage, and therefore these electrical safety standards do not apply. In the case of the RB12 and RB16 Relay Boards, the relay modules provided by other manufacturers might have a UL listing or similar.

LabJack Device & Accessories Flammability Statement

Country of Origin

Per export definitions, the official Country of Origin for LabJack-branded products is the USA. With the following exceptions:

  • Accessories (CB15, PS12DC, etc.) have a Country of Origin of India. 

  • The InAmp3, 2034DZ, and 2034CAZ temperature probes have a Country of Origin of China. 

All software written by LabJack has the Country of Origin of the USA.

We do not claim the phrase "Made in the USA". This special designation requires that all raw materials are mined in the USA, and that all chips and components are manufactured in the USA. That is not feasible for any electronic devices.

Export

Export codes are assigned to everything we sell. For example, the schedule B code for the T7 is 8471.60.1050 and applies to the entire package, including the T7 itself, power supply, USB cable, Ethernet cable, screwdriver, packaging, firmware and software. Firmware and software are part of our hardware. We do not sell any firmware and software so these do not have their own export codes.

Schedule B/HS/HTS

  • Main Devices (U3, T7, etc.): 8471.60.1050

  • Accessories designed for use with LabJack main devices (CB37, etc.): 8473.30.0002

  • Sensors & Probes (LM34, EI-1022, EI-1034, EI-1050, 2034DZ, 2034CAZ): 9031.49.8000

  • 3rd Party Products: Codes provided by the manufacturer

ECCN

4A994.a

This means the license is NLR (no license required) unless we export to prohibited countries.

Prohibited Countries

Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Suda, and Syria

Production Status of LabJack DAQs - End of Life (EoL)

Below is the production status of all data acquisition (DAQ) devices made by LabJack:

  • U12 (2001): NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). No plans to discontinue. This is our oldest device, and we have newer devices that are recommended for new users. As of this writing there is no indication that any major sub-components will become unavailable.

  • UE9 (2004): NLA (No Longer Available as of March 2022).  Many parts required to build the UE9 have been discontinued by their manufacturers. Production of the UE9 has become increasingly difficult and expensive, if not impossible. The T7 is a newer (not drop-in) replacement that is superior in every way including cost.
    LabJack UE9 to T7 Migration Guide

  • U3 (2006): Active. All variations of U3-HV and U3-LV. Estimated time horizon of 2030, due to production ending for the main microcontroller. See Section 2.13 of the U3 Datasheet for information about older hardware variations.

  • U6 (2009): Active. All variations. Estimated time horizon of 2030, due to production ending for the main microcontroller.

  • T8 (2022): Active. All variations. No plans to discontinue.

  • T7 (2013): Active. All variations. No plans to discontinue.

  • T4 (2017): Active. All variations. No plans to discontinue.

Production Status of Other Non-Active Devices Made or Sold by LabJack

  • EI-1022: NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) - The EI-1022 temperature probe, manufactured by Electronic Innovations Corporation, is not recommended for new designs.

  • RB16: NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) - The RB16 relay board is not recommended for new designs.

Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)

LabJack has not done official MTBF analysis or testing for any devices. LabJack devices are made of normal semiconductor components, and do not use any components with a rating in terms of limited lifetime.  It is rare for our devices to fail on their own.  Overwhelmingly, the failed devices we see have damage that can be attributed to an out-of-spec voltage or current that has been introduced to the device from some external source. This is the nature of data acquisition devices with user controlled connections spanning from communications, power, ground, and I/O.

The following link mentions a DoD document that could be used to generate an MTBF number based on statistical models:

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/105781/MTBF

Below is a quote from someone at a major university who needed to assign an MTBF to our products:

"Typically, for an electronic device such as yours, with off the shelf components, and with an approximate number of parts-by-count of roughly 50, I should expect an MTBF of 30K~75k hours. I'll probably utilize some figure within that range."

50k hours is about 6 years of continuous use, which we can say from experience is too low.  We would estimate that operating 100 devices continuously for 10 years would result in 10 failures not due to external forces, and thus our estimate for statistical MTBF would be 500k hours or 57 years.
