IEC 62368-1: Refresher
What is it? IEC 62368-1, Audio/Video, Information Technology & Communication Technology Equipment Safety Requirements IEC TC108 started project in year 2002, using ECMA 287 (Safety of Electronic Equipment) as seed document. Ed. No. 1 published January 2010 eight years later New Safety Standard for Audio/Video Equipment, including consumer electronics, professional equipment, and musical instruments, Information Technology Equipment, Office Appliances, and Communication Technology (Telecom) Equipment 5
Why? Less distinction today, in the recent past, and in the future among high-tech products: Similar technology, Similar marketing/distribution channels, Similar use environments, Similar users. Therefore, need single safety standard that, Applies to a broad range of HT products Both is technology independent, and allows for introduction of new technology easier Allows for more design freedom Minimizes need for national/ regional differences Preserves information on the rationale for requirements Stable, understandable & user friendly; and Ultimately leads to design and manufacture of safe products! 6
What is it? A hazard-based standard. A performance-oriented standard. Covers Scopes of previous (legacy) standards: IEC 60065, Audio, Video & Similar Electronic Apparatus Safety IEC 60950-1, Information Technology Equipment Safety 7
HBSE Application Process Application by Product Designers/ Engineers, aka Manufacturers, ODMs, etc Application Practice of 62368-1 during 3 rd party certification e.g., via initial review of product & schematics. e.g., via measurements to determine energy levels, Class 1, 2 or 3... e.g., via detailed product review and analysis of design, construction & circuits, including identification of safeguards, such as insulation & critical components e.g., via performance tests, or use of allowed prescribed constructions, including safety critical components e.g., via test compliance criteria, or confirmation of compliance w/requirements for prescribed constructions 8
What is it not? Not a simple merger of IEC 60065 & 60950-1! Although many common elements Not a generic (free form) HBSE Standard! Standard is only applicable to products falling under its Scope, w/examples in Annex A Annex A examples are same found in scopes of 60065 & 60950-1 Standard has both requirements and compliance criteria, either performance-based or prescribed constructions. Standard is fully compatible with a TRF & IECEE CB Scheme, and 3 rd Party Mark Certification Programs! 9
What is it not? Not a Risk-based Standard! Risk Analysis not required (aka, IEC 60601-1, Third Edition) during application & certification. Decision on application of requirements does not involve risk considerations... Some Risk Analysis was used by IEC TC108 at the technical committee level to develop the actual requirements, e.g., levels/limits associated with Class 1, 2 & 3 10
A few things about 62368-1 you may not know yet but first, let s look at its structure.
Structure of IEC 60950-1 0 Principles 1 General, incl. Scope, Terms, Components, etc. 2 Protection from hazards 3 Wiring, connections and supply 4 Physical requirements 5 Electrical requirements and simulated abnormal conditions 6 Connection to telecommunication networks 7 Connection to cable distribution systems Annexes (partial listing) A Tests for resistance to heat and fire B Motor tests C Transformers D Measuring instruments for touch-current F Measurement of clearances and creepage distances G Alternative method for determining minimum clearances Q Voltage dependent resistors T Guidance on protection against ingress of water 12
Structure of IEC 62368-1 0 Principles 1 Scope 2 Normative references 3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations 4 General requirements 5 Electrically-caused injury 6 Electrically-caused fire 7 Chemically-caused injury 8 Mechanically-caused injury 9 Thermal-burn injury 10 Radiation Annexes (partial listing) A Examples of equipment within scope B Normal operating condition, abnormal operating condition, and single fault condition tests F Equipment markings, instructions and instructional safeguards G Components M Batteries and fuel cells Q Interconnection with building wiring T Mechanical strength tests V Determination of accessible parts 13
Clause 0 Principles of this product safety standard Clause 0 serves as an excellent primer on both HBSE and the approach IEC TC108 took with the Standard! 14
Clause 1 Scope The examples of products covered by the Standard are not in Clause 1, but Annex A. Annex A in Ed. Nos. 1 & 2 of IEC 62368-1 has the exact same scope examples as in IEC 60065 & IEC 60950-1 as to not cause any confusion during transition! 15
Clause 2 Normative references Unlike IEC 60950-1, Normative references in IEC 62368-1 are included in Clause 2, the structure more typically found in IEC Standards. In IEC 60950-1, normative references are in Annex P 16
Clause 3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations Many familiar terms used in IEC 60950-1 are no longer in IEC 62368-1! Examples: SELV -> ES1 Telecommunication Network -> External Circuit TNV -> ES1 or ES2, depending on transient ID No. User (or Operator) -> Ordinary Person Service Personnel -> Skilled Person (RAL knowledgeable) -> Instructed Person 17
Also, remember - Annex W, Comparison of terms used in this standard Compares terms used in IEC 62368-1 with terms used in: IEC 60664-1: Insulation coordination IEC 61140: Protection against electric shock IEC 60950-1: Information technology equipment IEC 60728-11: Cable networks IEC 62151: Equipment connected to telecommunications networks IEC 60065: A/V equipment 18
Clause 4 General requirements IEC 62368-1 accommodates legacy components! 4.1.1 - Components & subassemblies that comply with IEC 60950-1 or IEC 60065 are acceptable as part of equipment covered by [62368-1] without further evaluation other than to give consideration to the appropriate use of the component or subassembly in the end-product! Backwards compatibility statements now also added to IEC 60065 & IEC 60950-1! 19
Clause 5 Electrically-caused Injury Clearance calculations at face value appear more complicated, but they also should allow for more design freedom/flexibility! 20
Clause 6 Electrically-caused fire Two Safeguards are required to prevent electrically-caused fire Basic Safeguard Use of suitably rated (thermal) materials under Normal & Abnormal operating conditions. Supplementary Safeguard Additional safeguard(s) provided for Single Fault considerations For the Supplementary Safeguard (for PS2 & PS3), two alternative paths: a. Prevention of ignition b. Control of fire spread 21
Clause 6 Electrically-caused fire (cont.) Prevent ignition (aka single fault conditions) IEC 60950-1 Method 2 (4.7.1) 4000W limitation (250 V x16 A) Control fire spread (aka fire enclosure) IEC 60950-1 Method 1 (4.7.1) V-1 5V 60950-1 18 kg > 18 kg 62368-1 4000 W > 4000 W 22
Clause 7 Chemically-caused injury (Ed 2 Cl. 7 - Injury caused by hazardous substances) Only hazard clause (Cl. 5 10) in IEC 62368-1 that does not classify sources of potential injury by Class! Not practical to try to do since various forms and quantities of chemicals/hazardous substances used in equipment covered under scope. 23
Clause 8 Mechanically-caused injury The K Factor concepts for classification of moving fan blades as MS1, MS2 or MS3 came from the UL Standard for Electric Fans, UL 507. In Edition No. 2, further distinction will be made between plastic blades and blades made of nonplastic materials. MS1 MS2 MS3 24
Clause 9 Thermal burn injury Touch temperature limits in IEC 62368-1 are in some cases lower than IEC 60950-1. Based on IEC Guide 117, Electrotechnical equipment Temperatures of touchable hot surfaces. 25
Clause 10 - Radiation Ed. No. 2 of IEC 62368-1 has Acoustic Radiation requirements for Personal Music Players closer aligned with the existing requirements in Europe. EN 50332-1, -2 Sound system equipment. Headphones and earphones associated with portable audio equipment. Maximum sound pressure level measurement methodology and limit considerations. 26
Annex F - Equipment markings, instructions, and instructional safeguards Annex F outlines standardized approach for markings & related instructional safeguards. 27
Also, don t forget IEC/TR 62368-2 & ECMA TR/106! IEC/TR 62368-2: Audio/video, information & communication technology equipment Part 2: Explanatory information related to IEC 62368-1 Essential accompaniment to 62368-1. Ed. 2 TR 62368-2 will be further improved. 28

Clause 4 (Physical requirements) Requires IEC 62133 for battery packs See UL 60950-1 Certification Impact Analysis for more details! 39
Likely Publication/Adoption Scenarios, including Ed. No. 2 status
Edition No. 2 of IEC 62368-1? IEC TC108 has reached a consensus Yes position to move the 108/495/CDV document forward to FDIS! In Europe, CENELEC CLC/TC 108X reached a consensus Yes position to move the FprEN 62368-1:2012 and FprEN 62368-1:2012/FprAA:2012 (regional differences) documents forward! Next Steps: FDIS --> IEC Standard FDIS will be issued shortly with two (2) month voting period. IEC target publication date --> Q4 2013 or Q1 2014! 41
EN 62368-1? Assuming Ed No. 2 of IEC 62368-1 published in Q4 2013 or early 2014: Reasonable expectation -> Europe will adopt Ed. 2 as EN 62368-1, Ed. No. 2 Reasonable expectation since the IEC Standard has been further refined since Ed. No. 1 and most of the previously expressed, significant concerns have been addressed. If adopted, it likely will have 4+ year effective date (DOW), likely April 2018 Since Europe & NA are two major markets, Ed. No. 2 likely will result in more universal adoption and global transition from legacy standards. 42
Edition No. 2 of CSA/UL 62368-1? Technical Harmonization Committee (THC) work beginning. Ed. No. 2 development expected to be streamlined since National Differences (NDs) already developed and published. Edition No. 2 activity will be mostly fine-tuning NDs, update standard & Code references, etc. Target publication date --> Q3 2014! UL likely will establish an Effective Date for transition similar to EU 43
Transition (subject to change) : Legacy AV/ITE Standards IEC 62368-1 Likely Transition Scenario Latest IEC 60950-1 (Ed 2 Am 2) -- > published May 2013 Latest IEC 60065 (Ed 8) --> Q1 2014 Therefore, Europe: Final versions EN 60950-1 published in 2013, and EN 60065 published 2014. Likely 2-3 year effective date (DOW), possibly April 2016 CAN/US: Final versions of CSA & UL 60065 & 60950-1 published in 2014 UL 60950-1 Effective Date likely to be aligned with Europe 44
So, for new certifications of A/V & ICT Equipment in EU & NA, IEC 62368-1 likely to be the required standard around year 2018
Likely Transition Scenario Today 2013/2014 2018 & beyond 60065 60950 62368-1 Ed 1 60065 (incl Ed 8) 60950 (incl Ed 2, Am 2) 62368-1 Ed 1 62368-1 Ed 2 62368-1 Ed 2, and later 46

What s Next?
Codes & Regulations ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) US Electrical Installation Code - numerous references to UL 60950-1 need updating. NFPA 70-2014 in final stage of adoption. UL proposed multiple updates to include UL 62368-1. Key references updated to now include UL 62368-1. 50
Other Stakeholders OSHA NRTL Program UL 62368-1 being added to Scope of UL NRTL NRTL system inherently accommodates updated & new standards Do not anticipate the same issues as with AAMI 60601-1 Third Edition since Risk Management not part of application of UL 62368-1... 51
What UL can provide to industry today! Evaluations of Products to 62368-1 Options include, - Concurrent with current active project - With previously certified product (to 60065 or 60950) - Independent of previous certifications Deliverables - Gap Report - no additional testing beyond current project testing - Gap Report + TRF - no additional testing beyond current project testing - Gap report + TRF with additional testing for 62368-1 - Certification to 62368-1 Training to 62368-1 Existing on-line courses and materials Private/custom training
Why Consider 62368-1? Cost savings: Alternative design/construction methods allowed by new standard = manufacturing cost savings! Early planning during the transition cycle - minimize costs during the formal transition period Manufacturer/OEM Marketing Opportunities: Early Adopter claiming rights Ability to introduce new technology to market more quickly: Reduced need to wait for changes to standards since fewer prescriptive requirements Fewer interpretations needed since more performance-based requirements Generic HBSE provision allowed for constructions not specifically covered 53
