This could be a good measure of new standards as we cross over to the Undiscovered Country of functional safety and HBSE.
For now, I cannot think of any reason that IEC60950-1 and CISPR22 could not be used. In general, I would think that for North America, whatever magnetically 'links' to base that contains the power converter would want to use UL1310, or better yet, determine a way that it could be considered a Class III device if the batteries meet safety requirements.

The specific application I'm looking at is for charging a Lithium ion battery while it is either attached to a portable electronic device or in a stand alone configuration. If there are no relevant standards and a HBSE approach is used, what hazards need to be considered? Here is an example of the technology in question: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=66542 Thanks in advance for your advice, assistance, and guidance!
