Hello Colleagues,
We have a handheld device that is being tested for IEC 62368-1:2014 compliance. The NRTL we are using is stating that our battery (CR2450N) has to be tested and certified to IEC 60086-4. In IEC 62368-1:2014, IEC 60086-4 is an undated Normative Reference. So you must use the latest edition. Currently, the latest edition is IEC 60086-4:2019 and is available as a Redline version. So far we cannot find a vendor that is certified to this newly released standard The best we have found is Renata, who states they are estimating compliance to the 2019 version by the end of Q3. Are we forced to sit and hold our product's certification and release because no battery vendors are certified to this newly released standard? Or, is there a Start Date of PoC and DoW equivalent scenario where we can finish our certification using a battery that is compliant to the previous version of the Normative Reference? Thank you very much for your time, experience and wisdom in these matters.
