Hello, According to R079-001:1998 "Guide to achieving compliance with EC directives for Alarm Systems" prepared by TC 79, you may choose either standard for CCTV (if you fell under the LVD) (see Table 4 if you can get the document) As you are just aiming to show due diligence, then it would follow that you would apply the same standards for the GPSD

In dealing with both the 60950 & 60065 standards in the CCTV industry and in speaking with several agencies it was determined that IEC 60065 based standards were a more realistic approach. Mr. Woodgate, Could you please be kind enough to direct me to any CENELEC product committee decision documentation on this subject. This sounds very interesting.

EN 60950 applies since it's a *security* camera, and the relevant CENELEC product committee chose that standard. But a camera for other purposes in a household context should meet EN 60065. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
