What is IEC 62368-1 Test Report?

Overview of IEC 62368-1:2018

IEC 62368-1:2018 is an international product safety standard designed to classify products based on their energy levels. The goal is to propose effective safety measures to REDuce the risks posed by energy sources to personnel, minimize the likelihood of equipment fires, and reduce potential property damage.

Product Scope of IEC 62368-1

This standard applies to a variety of products, including:

- Electronic and electrical equipment

- Audio-video products

- Information technology (IT) products

- Commercial office automation equipment (up to 600V)

- Power supply products

- Displays, televisions, laptops, personal computers, and peripheral devices

Note:

When applying for IEC certification, please inform us of the countries for which the report should be applicable. This ensures that the relevant country-specific differences are considered during the testing process.

Important Updates

- The mandatory compliance date for EN IEC 62368-1:2020 (3rd Edition) has been extended by 18 months, from January 6, 2023, to July 6, 2024.

- This means the EN 62368-1:2014 (2nd Edition) repeal date is postponed until July 6, 2024.

- Before July 6, 2024, EN 62368-1:2014 (2nd Edition) can still be used for CE certification applications. However, after this date, IEC 62368-1:2018 will be the applicable standard.
