James/Richard, Unfortunately I don't have the IEC65 standard with me, but if you read the scope of CSA C22.2 No 1 titled" Audio, video and similar apparatus" which is based on IEC65 it states:
This Standard applies to apparatus that is used to transmit, receive, and process electronic signals and signals of vocal, musical, or visual origin, and which is not necessarily under the jurisdiction of a skilled person. Processing of electronic signals includes amplification, modulation, demodulation, en coding, decoding, recording, reproduction, etc. This Standard applies to apparatus that operates from a supply circuit not exceeding➈ V in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I and which is intended to operate at voltages in addition to 120 V but not exceeding 250 V. Apparatus that is intended to operate on an extra-low voltage dc supply as well as 120 V dc maximum, is covered by the requirements in this Standard for either mode of operation. Clausee.1 is intended to include apparatus that is similar but not precisely defined in the Scope. The following electronic apparatus is included in the Scope of this Standard: (a) radio receivers, tuners, and similar apparatus; (b) television receivers, cameras, and similar apparatus, including remote units, portable units, and closed circuit apparatus; (c) electronic test apparatus, amplifiers, phonographs, tape machines, and musical instruments, including electronic organs, pianos, etc; (d) kits of parts for building electronic apparatus of types listed in Items (a), (b), a nd (c); (e) modules for electronic apparatus of types listed in Items (a), (b), and (c); (f) radio transmitters and associated control apparatus; (g) manufacturer's recommended combinations of the above items that form a system operating from a supply circuit in accordance with Clause 1.1; (h) associated items that oper ate from a supply circuit in accordance with Clause 1.1 for use with apparatus referred to in Items (a) to (g); (i) electronic apparatus for testing and maintaining apparatus of the types listed in Items (a) to (h); (j) apparatus for projecting images from photographic film including slide projectors, motion picture projectors, film strip projectors, and accessories; (k) electric and electronic clocks not including thos e incorporating an ac receptacle, those forming part of a master clock system, or timers within the scope of CSA Standard CAN/CSA- C22.2 No. 177; and (l) commercial amusement apparatus including video, bingo, poker, and pinball machines but excluding lottery ticket dispensing machines. This Standard also applies to electronic apparatus that is intended to be electrically connected to a telecommunication network where the function of such apparatus is dependent upon apparatus that is described in Clauses 1.1 and 1.2 of this Standard (eg, a telephone receiver or handset that is part of and/or can only be used with a specific combined clock radio/telephone apparatus). This Standard is concerned with safety only and not with the other pro perties of the apparatus. This Standard does not include safety requirements that are covered by federal and provincial requirements. As you can see it clearly says that it covers CCTV. I agree with you that it is a very grey area similar to the case of UL3101-1 and UL3111-1, but unfortunately the standard guys do not make it very clear when they wrote these standards. In my opinion, a TV, a computer monitor and a CCTV are all designed almost in the same way and should be treated the same especially from the safety point of view, but it seems that the test houses test these to different standard. Would you agree?
