IEC/EN60065 is not adequate for the discussed scope You go on to say: A product safety standard is not sacred. A product safety standard is not immutable. A product safety standard is the best reference resource to get the job started. But what is important, at least for the good people of the PSTC, is to discuss what could be good and what could be bad. And we have just done that. It seems clear to me that you think you have found a weakness in IEC 60065, leading to your first statement. Considering the second and third statements, with which I agree, it is surely appropriate that your finding should be sent to the people who can consider its merits and, if justified, eliminate the weakness. In submitting your findings, there is certainly no requirement, and no need, to participate in the actual committee work. If you choose not to submit your findings, that is inconsistent with your second and third statements. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
