62368-1 Hazard-Based Safety Engineering
Let's make a plan to transition from 60950-1/60065 right now.
There is an increasing number of cases where common technologies are used in IT equipment and AV equipment. As a result, products that can be classified as either IT equipment or AV equipment are on the rise, and the significance of categorizing these products into one of the two categories is diminishing. The safety of these products is being addressed through the introduction of 62368-1, which adopts a new approach called Hazard-Based Safety Engineering (HBSE), focusing on energy sources rather than relying on traditional testing regulations and design (structural) regulations. 62368-1 is a new international standard developed with the aim of consolidating the target products of the IT equipment standard IEC 60950-1 and the AV equipment standard IEC 60065 into a single standard. The target products encompass a wide range, including computer and network equipment, home appliances, display and display units, communication products, office equipment, musical instruments, and other similar audio/video equipment and information/communication technology devices.
basic information
The implementation schedule for the EN standard has been extended to December 20, 2020, but in order to make a declaration of conformity (CE marking) using the method of "Presumption of Conformity" to comply with the European directives imposed on AV/ICT equipment sold in Europe, it must conform to EN 62368-1 instead of EN 60065 and EN 60950-1 by the DOW.
