IEC 62368-1 is an international product safety standard. Its purpose is to classify different categories according to the amount of energy and propose effective safety measures, thereby reducing the danger of energy sources to personnel, reducing the possibility of equipment fires, and reducing Property damage.
The IEC 62368-1 standard covers electrical and electronic equipment, audio and video products, information technology products, commercial office automation equipment not exceeding 600V, power products, monitors, televisions, notebook computers, personal computers and computer peripheral products.
Common test items:
1. Basic requirements (component structure, label and description, energy classification and protection, safety protection, explosion)
2. Injury caused by electricity (protection of electric energy sources, insulation materials and requirements, safety protection components)
3. Fire caused by electricity (classification of power source and potential ignition source, fire safety protection, internal and external wiring)
4. Harm caused by harmful substances
5. Injury caused by machinery
6. Burning
7. Radiation (classification of radiation energy sources, safety protection of laser radiation, safety protection of acoustic energy sources)
Application Process:
1. Provide samples
2. Fill in the application form
3. Provide information required for the product, such as: product specification, product model list (series model), circuit diagram and PCB LAYOUT key component list and certification certificate, nameplate, etc.
4. The sample was tested in the Ansett experiment, and the report was issued after the test passed.
Note: When applying for IEC certification, it is necessary to inform the countries to be considered for inclusion in the report so that the corresponding national differences can be taken into account when testing.
Note:
the mandatory date of EN IEC 62368-1:2020 (3rd edition) has been extended by 18 months from January 06, 2023 to July 06, 2024, which means that the repeal date of EN 62368-1:2014 (2nd edition) has been officially extended to July 06, 2024.
Before July 06, 2024, EN 62368-1:2014 (2nd edition) can still be used to apply for CE certification.
