Hello Rich, Like to thank you and the all the rest for your replies. We are still not out of the woods. It certainly help to have a copy of UL 62368-1 when trying to present reasons. (always with most standards) Sincerely, Ryan Jazz Ryan Jayasinghe Regulatory Compliance Engineer rjayasin...@line6.com<mailto:rjayasin...@line6.com>

Regardless of product safety, components, including connectors, are certified; their required use in end-products justifies the requirement for certification of those components. So, this is one of those unwritten requirements. And, if they are not certified, you will put the demand back on your supplier, who will apply to UL (which will result in more certification business). For example, see https://www.ul.com/services/ul-taiwan-usb-test-lab This is for USB connectors and cable, and has little to do with safety (except for extended power range (EPR) in the USB PD specification). As far as I know, there is no requirement in IEC 62368-1, but there may be such requirement in UL 62368-1. As one respondent said, ask to see the requirement. Good luck!

The NRTL is calling out all the low voltage connectors on the rear panel on the Critical Components list. For example the XLR and TRS connectors. * Can someone please let me know where this requirement could be coming from? Traditionally only connectors associated with AC voltages have been called out on the CCL. The NRTL will not allow us to use these low voltage connectors if the part is not UL Recognized. Is there something in UL 62368-1 3rd Edition that requires UR for low voltage connectors? Appreciate any comments.
