In Depth
IEC 62368-1 replaced IEC 60950-1 and IEC 60065 as the global product safety standard for ICT and AV equipment. It applies a hazard-based approach (HBSE) classifying products by energy sources and required safeguards.
For hardware teams, IEC 62368-1 compliance is typically verified through testing at an accredited lab and is a precondition for CE marking under the LVD as well as for product safety listings in the US (UL 62368-1) and Canada (CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1).
