The requirements for safety testing and certification will depend on the product type. Some products, such as medical products, may require safety testing regardless of the input supply. Does your product have hazardous voltages, currents or energy levels? Are there hazardous moving parts? A paper shredder would need safety testing even if it is powered from an approved supply. Does the product connect to telephone networks?
If your product embodies hazards that are covered in IEC/EN/UL 60950-1, it will need to be properly tested. Even if it doesn't have hazards covered in this standard, you may not be exempt from testing.

The power adapter is a bought out part and is CB certified for safety. Is it mandatory that the combined setup (ITE powered by the adapter) to be tested / certified for safety? The product will be sold in US & Europe. We plan 3 different make power adapters to be bundled with our ITE device and all the 3 are CB certified for safety.
