Hello David, Your issue is not new. I have been in a similar situation where the same argument was made for a product powered by SELV. However, EN 60950 addresses other safety issues with products other than electrically caused fire and electrical shock. One needs to also address the mechanical and electro-mechanical safety issues as well. A good example is an SELV powered printer.
