ELECTRICAL SAFETY CERTIFICATION REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS – IEC 62368 CERTIFICATION
What is IEC 62368?
IEC 62368 essentially deals with the safety of products. Therefore, it doesn’t cater to existing products but covers the older IEC 60950 and standards IEC 60065 which is to be replaced soon. In addition, this certification basically supports both new and old tech products. It is also grounded on research, sound engineering, and field data.
What is the Aim of this Certification?
Article about IEC 62368 is essentially expected to minimize the dangers and risks one might encounter when in close contact with this equipment, especially during operation, installation, and maintenance as well.
What products need IEC 62368 Certification?
IEC 62368 is applicable to a great variety of technological products, namely:
– Computing and networking tools, for example, PCs, laptops, tablets, servers, routers, and their power supplies;
– Consumer electronics;
– Displays and monitors, different types of projectors;
– Telecommunication tools, including equipment for network building, all types of phones, and other communication devices;
– Office electronics, such as copiers or paper shredders;
– Other types of equipment for communication and visualization purposes.
Why do you need Electrical Safety testing?
Most electronic and electrical products are required to comply with Electrical safety standards under national laws and directives such as the European LVD Directive, IEC 62368 certification, UL certification, OSHA product safety regulations, etc. Our company provides turnkey approval for product safety to cover global market access.
UL standards & certification and Electrical Safety Certification refer to Electrical and Mechanical hazardous products may contain. Those hazardous need to evaluate already in the design phase and they include a selection of listed critical components as part of the BOM (e.g. PCB, Enclosure, Flame parts, Fuses and more).
Electrical product safety is required in the USA (UL standards & certification), Europe (CE – LVD Directive), Japan (PSE Japan), China (CCC Certification), S. Korea (KCC certification), Batteries scheme (IEC 62133) and other countries. For ITE products the common standards is IEC 62368 standard.
Product safety hasn’t been taken crucial by most manufacturers all over the globe. As we all know, different products are somewhat hazardous both to the environment and human health as well.
So, nowadays, most of the technology products are IEC 62368 certified to show that they adhere to the regulations and standards of IEC 62368.
