62368-1 Approved Power Supplies
20th December 2020 is an important date in the world of power supplies, as this is the date when one of the most common safety standards, IEC 60950-1, is replaced by a new standard. IEC 62368-1.
IEC 62368-1 is also referred to as either EN62368-1 for UK and Europe, or UL 62368-1 for the USA. The change is not simply just an up-issue or name change against the traditional 60950 standard. It represents completely different engineering principles. Importantly, this means that even if your existing power supply carries 60950-1 approval, there is a very strong chance it will need to be re-approved to the new 62368-1 standard on or before 20th December 2020. If your existing power supply does not carry 62368-1 approval then you will need to make plans to switch to a unit that does have this new power supply safety approval. We say ‘power supply safety approval’, although the scope of this standard is much broader, covering a whole range of IT and AV equipment.
62368-1 applies to all aspects of a system. Not only the final product, but also components such as power supplies. For more infomation on the standard, as well as a whole range of products that are approved to 62368-1 please contact Tiger Power Supplies.
