Hello Matthew, This may be an oversimplification. However, a basic guide is that IEC 60335-1 would be appropriate if the end-product uses a motor to do its primary function or is intended for cooking. The standard generally covers appliances. IEC 62368-1 is appropriate if the end-product

Thank you all for your replies, much appreciated. I do offer apologies for the use of ‘jack plug’ and ‘jack socket’ which of course suggests a non-suitable connector akin to ‘headphone jack’. Quite righty as pointed out not a good idea at all. I remember a long time ago wrecking a Sinclair

Hello Matthew, I may be able to suggest an approach that may make the solution more cost effective. You can fight high-quality and properly certified USB-A output external power supplies that are manufactured in high enough volume that they are cost competitive. The cost of one of these power

Since it works with a phone, 62368-1 applies. I would not rely on 60950-1 because of the incidence of fires and electric shock.  Bedrooms and nurseries are especially sensitive locations. Also, note that a jack plug is shorted when inserting or withdrawing. That is why the concentric

A client has a product, to be used by consumers typically in a bedroom or child's nursery, which has a microcontroller and is Wi-Fi enabled so it can present data to 'the cloud' and interact with a mobile phone 'app' to change some parameters on the device. We have been asked by the client
