Thanks Rich, Much appreciated.
Is there a similar dedicated document comparison for IEC60065 available? Regards, John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Nute Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 2:45 PM To: EMC-PSTC Cc: Thomas M Burke Subject: Ecma TR-106 available Posted on behalf of Tom Burke, UL: More good news for those seeking to learn more about IEC 62368-1 as the ICT Industry prepares for the eventual transition from IEC 60950-1 (and IEC 60065) to IEC 62368-1. ECMA International, previously known as the European Computer Manufacturers Association, has just published its Technical Report TR/106, which provides guidance and comparison between 60950-1 and 62368-1. The report was published by ECMA's TC12 on Product Safety, and the effort to develop and publish the TR was very capably led by Mr. Richard Nute. Thank you Rich and members of ECMA TC12! ECMA has a strong interest in IEC 62368-1 since its industry standard, ECMA-287 "Safety of electronic equipment," which was developed and published in the 1990s and which first introduced hazard-based concepts, was the core material that IEC TC108 used when it began it project developing IEC 62368-1 in 2002. It is believed that the availability of comparison documents like TR/106 from a variety of sources helps industry prepare for the pending transition and also helps clear up some of the misconceptions about the new standard. As has been discussed in this group previously, IEC 62368-1 has many familiar elements from 60950-1, including allowance for prescriptive constructions that have proven safe in 60950-1 and that may be used as an alternative to some of the performance based requirements in 62368-1. Provided below are links to information on ECMA TC12 and the TR/106 (available free of charge). http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/TC12.htm http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/techreports/E-TR-106.htm"; Best regards, Rich - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
