All, I am working on a charging device which will be plugged into a 12V accessory outlet (cigarette lighter outlet) I am trying to get it qualified to IEC62368-1:2018. (the device it charges is falling under IEC62368-1)
The reviewer is insisting that my cigarette lighter plug must be UL94 flame rated to V1. Most of the cables I see out there are HB rated, and VW-1 cords. This IEC standard is new to me, but appears more geared to devices with higher voltage cords than a 12V DC source. Am I missing something, or is it overkill for that high of a flame rating for a 12V device? Any supporting documents or ideas are welcome here. I am also finding most companies have no idea of the flame rating of components like these items.
