Hi Rich, Thank you and Tom getting this out to us. After reviewing this document, I noticed that it references IEC 62368 Edition 1. As this Edition 1 was voted down I believe by most NCBs causing Edition 2 to be created, will ECMA be updating this document to reflect a comparison to IEC 62368 Edition 2, which is supposed to be published early next year?
I look forward to your reply.

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.
