How to get EN 62368-1 Test Report

EN 62368 is the core safety standard for electronic products in Europe, with the fULl name "Safety Requirements for Audio/Video, Information and Communication Technology Equipment" (EN 62368-1). Its international counterpart is IEC 62368-1.

Scope of Application of EU EN 62368

1. Definition

EN 62368 is a harmonized standard under the EU low voltage directive (LVD). It aims to unify the safety requirements for audio/video (AV), information technology (IT), and communication technology equipment, replacing the old versions en 60950-1 (for IT equipment) and en 60065 (for AV equipment).

2. Applicable Products

①　IT equipment: Computers, servers, routers, network devices, etc.

②　AV equipment: Televisions, audio systems, projectors, headphones, etc.

③　Communication equipment: Smartphones, wireless chargers, base station equipment, etc.

④　Emerging technologies: Energy storage devices, wireless power transmitters, etc.

Core Safety Requirements

The Hazard-Based Engineering (HBE) approach identifies hazardous energy sources in equipment (such as electric shock, fire, mechanical injury, etc.) and formulates active protective measures, instead of relying on traditional empirical rules.

EN 62368 Standard Tests

①　Electrical safety: Protective designs for insulation, grounding, current-limiting circuits, etc.

②　Thermal safety: Temperature control, fire-resistant enclosures, and temperature resistance of materials.

③　Mechanical safety: Enclosure strength and protection of moving parts.

④　Acoustic and environmental safety: Noise limits and control of harmful substances.

⑤　Thermal medium safety: Protection against leakage of hazardous liquids or gases.

⑥　Physical safety: Protection against injuries from user-accessible components.

⑦　Key test items include insulation performance testing, abnormal temperature rise assessment, mechanical strength testing, and battery safety evaluation.

Main Test Items of EN/IEC 62368 Test Report

①　General requirements; electric shock hazards.

②　Electrically induced fires; hazards from harmful substances.

③　Mechanically induced injuries; thermal burn hazards.

④　Tests under normal operating conditions, abnormal operating conditions, and single fault conditions.

⑤　Test conditions for equipment containing audio amplifiers.

⑥　Equipment marking, instructions, and indicative safety protections; components.

Significance of EN 62368 Certification

1. Market Access

geting EN 62368 certification is a necessary condition for products to enter the EU market, complying with the requirements of the lvd directive.

2. International Universality

It is highly aligned with IEC standards, supporting "one test, multiple country recognition" and REDucing global compliance costs.

Process to get EN 62368-1 Test Report

①　Provide product specifications to us.

②　We conduct a compliance evaluation and issue a plan based on the product specifications and the target market required by the customer.

③　Once the customer approves the plan, we issue the compliance test fee.

④　The product is sent to JJR LAB for compliance testing.

⑤　An electronic report is provided to the customer for review.

⑥　After confirmation of no objections, an official report is issued.
