Why is the standard changing?

As more products are falling under both IEC 60065 (AV equipment) and IEC 60950-1 (IT equipment), the industry saw a need to develop a new standard that takes the convergence of the products into account.

The IEC 62368-1 safety standard uses new performance and construction requirements that take the energy sources, safeguards and the intended users into account.

Products that meet the legacy standards of IEC 60950-1 and IEC 60065 will not automatically meet the requirements of IEC 62368-1. As the end date for the legacy standards is nearing in Europe, it’s critical that manufacturers of IT and AV equipment develop a proactive plan to ensure their products remain compliant and marketable.

What is your situation?

EN 62368-1 will soon supersede EN 60950-1 and EN 60065.In Europe, all audio/video, IT and communication products will need to show compliance in accordance with EN 62368-1 by 20 December 2020. It is expected that the rest of the world will follow shortly after.Given the substantial market for IT/AV products, it will be crucial for most manufacturers to have a transition plan both for Europe and worldwide.

Broad changes in standards and regulations will always pose a threat to the balance of product design, production and marketing.

Global market access

The adoption time for IEC 62368-1 varies from market to market adding to the complexity of the transition to the standard. If you are planning to sell to multiple markets, it is crucial that you understand on which standard the various markets base their market access requirements.

As we come closer to the end of EN 60065 and EN 60950-1 in Europe, we foresee that more companies will need to test and certify for two parallel standards.
