The trouble with 62109-2 is that it is intended only for inverters used in PV systems. This is a 12Vdc 350W inverter for vehicular use, in the EU
Looks like IEC62477-1 is a closer fit, as Boštjan has suggested, and it contains Normative references to the IEC 60068-2 series (environmental) This part of IEC 62477 applies to Power Electronic Converter Systems (PECS) and equipment, their components for electronic power conversion and electronic power switching, including the means for their control, protection, monitoring and measurement, such as with the main purpose of converting electric power, with rated system voltages not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. This document may also be used as a reference standard for product committees producing product standards for: • adjustable speed electric power drive systems (PDS); • standalone uninterruptible power systems (UPS); • low voltage stabilized d.c. power supplies It doesn't mention inverters used in vehicles, but I think the principles of electrical safety in this standard would apply equally well to a small, 12V inverter.

(buses & small trucks) Test lab suggests EN60950, which I dismissed. EN50178 and EN60335-1 don’t appear to be suitable.
