Actually, are there any proposed fire enclosure changes to IEC 60950-1? The committee keeps trying to avoid changing 60950-1 and 60065, encouraging everyone to switch to 62368-1 as soon as possible. It takes a lot of learning to get up to speed with it, so it's most unwise to put off the switch until 62368-1 becomes mandatory in Europe. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN!

If it's the latter, ECMA TR/106 might be helpful (but be forewarned, this document compares 60950 to the 1st edition of 62368). The best part is that it's free! http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-TR/ECMA%20TR-106.pdf On Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at 8:53 AM, Kunde, Brian <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: 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.
