The scope states the following. This International Standard defines routine electrical safety test procedures for use during or after manufacturing of complete equipment, sub-assemblies or components, complying with IEC 60065, IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1 and powered by an a.c. mains supply or d.c. mains supply, to detect manufacturing failures and unacceptable tolerances in manufacturing and materials.
I see no reason why this wouldn't cover communications equipment that falls within the scope of either IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1. I will also note that the type test standards typically do not directly reference the routine test standard. For Europe, the new standard will be accepted based on the dates given when it is published in the Official Journal. For other regions, you will need to check with the NCBs. I would like to encourage my more knowledgeable colleagues on this list server to amend or correct what I have stated if there are errors of fact or omission.

The IEC just announced the PRV (FDIS) of IEC 62911 "Audio, video and information technology equipment - Routine electrical safety testing in production" (see link below). https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/23531&utm_source=JustPublished&utm_medium=email&utm_content=2015-10&utm_campaign=Monthly+email+for+JP<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fwebstore.iec.ch%2fpublication%2f23531%26utm_source%3dJustPublished%26utm_medium%3demail%26utm_content%3d2015-10%26utm_campaign%3dMonthly%2bemail%2bfor%2bJP&data=01%7c01%7cted.eckert%40MICROSOFT.COM%7cfb3c6745103a4903553708d2e3993705%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=ZCrz7hRQu4dzAH3P0SKjEeMi70esnHV6ApYtEGPYiBE%3d> To those in the know, when IEC 62911 is finally published, will it become referenced in IEC 62368-1 and serve as the basis for routine electrical safety testing in production? And if so, does anyone have a timeline for that? However, it seems to me that it's not entirely focused toward IEC 62368-1 as it does appear to not include communications equipment.
