What exactly is changing?
The norms used so far
- IEC/EN 60950-1 for devices in the field of information and communication technology and
- IEC/EN 60065 for devices in the audio/video sector
are no longer used and will be replaced by the new IEC/EN 62368-1 standard from December 21, 2020.
This means that all equipment that is to continue to meet the safety requirements of the relevant directives must be tested according to the new normative standard. All safety-relevant certificates that were previously created on the basis of IEC/EN 60950-1 or IEC/EN 60065 lose their validity.
