One issue would be the touch current allowed for Class II products. Under IEC 60065 it is 0.5 mA, and under IEC 60950 it is 0.25 mA. I would be interested in hearing what others think about that. Is the touch current requirement of IEC 60950 unnecessarily severe? Jim Lyons Manager - Product Compliance GTECH Corp.
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Perkins Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Cc: 'Grace Lin' Subject: RE: CISPR EN IEC Standards for Set Top Box PSNet folks, All this discussion points clearly to the effort to the need to bring together the safety requirements for consumer and commercial electronic equipment; as is coming into the new Hazard Based standard prEN 62368. The same components and design techniques are used in either case. From the point of view of providing a safe product, the use of either IEC 60065 or IEC 60950 would provide an adequate level of protection - especially since there has been ongoing work to harmonize them to a large degree. There is always a good discussion here - on any subject. :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax [email protected] - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
