Hi David et al,
I am very much aware that IEC950 has not been withdrawn. IEC950 has actually been IEC60950 2nd Ed. for some time now. (try ordering IEC950 from any document company. I would be willing to bet that if you ordered IEC950, you'd get IEC60950 2nd Ed. with all of the amendments). The many many references to IEC950 have not kept up with the IEC's new numbering convention and go way back to the days of IEC950 1st Ed. (that's a lot of history to change). The IEC950 moniker has been so established for such a long time that its an institution (like kleenix). Anyway, IEC60950 3rd Ed. is out, with UL60950 3rd Ed. in draft stage now. So, are EN60950 2nd Ed or other IEC60950 2nd Ed clones gearing up to clone IEC60950 3rd Ed any time soon? Inquiring minds like to know. Or is that need to know? Whatever. More tossing and turning.

PM IEC950 is not officially withdrawn yet. We received a draft CB-scheme test report February 2000 based on IEC 950, with 97-06 amendments. EN 60950 is based on IEC 950. Eventually IEC 950 will become IEC60950 to simplify the numerology. Provisional and draft documents are subject to change. As I noted before, certification to an issued document is preferable; even if the document is superseded, the conditions of acceptance are well-defined. David Sterner Alarm Device Manufacturing Co.

Author: "Ron Pickard" <SMTP:[email protected]> at ADEMCONET List-Post: [email protected] Date: 5/15/2000 2:23 PM Carla et al, I had recently asked a similar question regarding IE60950 3rd Ed. and its acceptabilitty, which also included the CB Scheme. I received very little response which I think was due to many not knowing themselves. After thinking about this while this thread has now resurfaced, I feel that IEC60950 3rd will not and should not enter into the CB Scheme arena until the member countries have national/regional versions of IEC60950 3rd Ed. in place. The only region I know that is pursuing this is North America with its UL60950 3rd Ed. The rest of the regulatory standards making bodies appear to be silent regarding this (unless I've been keeping my head in the sand). This apparent reluctance to proceed may jeopardize the one-basic-standard approach the ITE community has grown familiar with. So, to all those out there with their ears to the grindstones of the standard-making bodies, is IEC60950 3rd Edition being adopted into, say, EN60950 3rd Ed. or AS/NZ 60950 3rd Ed.? Any others? Just some added questions and opinions thrown in and tossed about.

I am seeking information on when will the 3rd Edition of the EN60950, L.V. Directive, go into effect? When will it be ratified for the European Community?
