DIN

German Institute for Standardization (DIN) are the results of work at national, European and/or international level. Anyone can submit a proposal for a new standard. Once accepted, the standards project is carried out according to set rules of procedure by the relevant DIN Standards Committee, the relevant Technical Committee of the European standards organization CEN (CENELEC for electrotechnical standards) or the relevant committee at the international standards organization ISO (IEC for electrotechnical projects)

Harmonizing standards: · Merging of Standards DIN EN 62368-1:2016-05: Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements (IEC 62368-1:2014, modified + Cor.:2015); German version EN 62368-1:2014 + AC:2015 EN 62368-1:2020: Manufacturers of audio/video (A/V), information technology (IT) and communication technology products need to know that CENELEC has accepted a new standard IEC 62368-1 as a mandatory requirement for CE marking of low-voltage equipment sold in the European Union (EU). IEC 62368-1 will replace two standards currently in use – EN 60065 for A/V and EN 60950-1 for IT and communication technology equipment – and will apply to new and existing products. Additionally, the U.S. and Canada adapted a national version of the IEC 62368-1 standard titled CSA/UL 62368-1. The American and European bodies have harmonized the date from which the 60950-1 and 60065 standards will cease and 62368-1 will take over. Following a recent update to the EU’s Official Journal (OJ) of legislation, and subsequent announcement by UL in the USA, the new date is December 20, 2020. GB 4943.1-2011: Power Supply Adaptor certifications Medical and ITE power supplies China CCC certificates have been updated to comply with the latest revision of the standard GB 4943.1-2011 effective December 1, 2012. The CCC GB4943.1-2011 certification is required for power supplies used in or shipped to China. IEC 60065:2014: Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus - Safety requirements IEC 60065:2014 applies to electronic apparatus designed to be fed from the mains, from a supply apparatus, from batteries or from remote power feeding and intended for reception, generation, recording or reproduction of audio, video and associated signals. It also applies to apparatus designed to be used exclusively in combination with the above-mentioned apparatus. This standard primarily concerns apparatus intended for household and similar general use but which may also be used in places of public assembly such as schools, theatres, places of worship and the workplace professional apparatus intended for use as described above is also covered unless falling specifically within the scope of other standards. This standard: - concerns only safety aspects of the above apparatus; The American and European bodies have harmonized the date from which the 60950-1 and 60065 standards will cease and 62368-1 will take over. Following a recent update to the EU’s Official Journal (OJ) of legislation, and subsequent announcement by UL in the USA, the new date is December 20, 2020. IEC 60950-1: IEC 62368-1, the new hazard-based standard for Audio Video, IT & Communication Technology Equipment (AV/ICT), was originally published in January 2010 to eventually replace both IEC 60065 (AV) and IEC 60950-1 (ICT). IEC 60065 addresses the safety for audio, video and similar equipment, and IEC 60950-1 deals with safety for electrical equipment for information processing, office machinery and telecom equipment. IEC 62368-1 has many familiar elements from 60950-1, including allowance for prescriptive constructions that have proven safe in 60950-1 and that may be used as an alternative to some of the performance based requirements in 62368-1.IEC 62368-1, the new hazard-based standard for Audio Video, IT & Communication Technology Equipment (AV/ICT), was originally published in January 2010 to eventually replace both IEC 60065 (AV) and IEC 60950-1 (ICT).

Following a recent update to the EU’s Official Journal (OJ) of legislation, and subsequent announcement by UL in the USA, the new date is December 20, 2020. IEC 62368-1: 2014: IEC 62368-1:2014 deals with the safety of electrical and electronic equipment within the field of audio, video, information and communication technology, and business and office machines with a rated voltage not exceeding 600 V. This standard does not include requirements for performance or functional characteristics of equipment. Examples of equipment within the scope of this standard are given in Annex A. A rated voltage of 600 V is considered to include equipment rated at 400/690 V. This part of IEC 62368 is also applicable to: components and subassemblies intended for incorporation in this equipment. Such components and subassemblies need not comply with every requirement of the standard, provided that the complete equipment, incorporating such components and subassemblies, does comply; external power supply units intended to supply other equipment within the scope of this part of IEC 62368 and accessories intended to be used with equipment within the scope of this part of IEC 62368. This part of IEC 62368 does not apply to power supply systems which are not an integral part of the equipment, such as motor-generator sets, battery backup systems and distribution transformers. This part of IEC 62328 specifies safeguards for ordinary persons, instructed persons, and skilled persons. Additional requirements may apply for equipment that is clearly designed or intended for use by children or specifically attractive to children. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: SANS 62368-1:2020 : Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment
