This subject is very interesting to me. If I wanted to know more, is getting a copy of 62368-1 worth reading or will I have to wait for the proposed changes to 60950-1 to come out, or what do you recommend? Are the proposed changes quite large or can they be summarized? What are the weak areas of the current construction requirements? I would like to inform our mechanical people as soon as possible of changes like these. Regards, The Other Brian

This is true. A new standard implies that some aspects of the old standard are inadequate. 62368-1 is better at preventing fires and preventing escape of fires than 60950-1. Changing back to 60950-1 means continued fire incidents. I have said many times that fire is our biggest problem. See the weekly recall list from In Compliance magazine.
