It's important to bear in mind that the manufacturer can do *anything*
that is not specifically prohibited using the magic words 'shall not',
and can be justified and is documented. Alongside this is the mantra 'If
in doubt, write it down.' In time of trouble you can rarely have too
much documented justification.
The specific answers:
1. Yes.
2. Yes, add them, providing it is documented that the non-conforming
labels are not contradictory or confusing. Can you superimpose the
correct labels?

All –
I am planning to transition a few “legacy” products from EN 60950-1 to
EN 62368-1 for CE marking purposes. I have 2 questions:
1. Clause 4.1.1 of EN 62368-1 contains the statement: “Components and
subassemblies that comply with IEC 60950-1 or IEC 60065 are acceptable
as part of equipment covered by this standard without further
evaluation other than to give consideration to the appropriate use of
the component or subassembly in the end-product. “ I understand this
is temporary for transition purposes and will be deleted in future
editions, but in the meantime does this apply to internal power
supplies that have their own safety agency certification & mark under
standard IEC/EN 60950-1?
2. EN 62368-1 has requirements for “instructional safeguards” which
include labels conforming to IEC 60417. The legacy products
currently have labels that convey particular hazards but are not in
conformance with the EN 62368-1 or IEC 60417 standards. Is it
permissible to leave the “non-conforming” labels in place or must they
be replaced with new labels? Can the non-conforming labels stay in
place if a new EN 62368-1/IEC 60417 label is placed alongside?
Thank you.
