Form: Reply Text: (11 lines follow) with regard to the comments relating to BABT acceptance, today they must accept any recognised and applicable safety standard. The most common route for safety today is by self declaration via their form 701. The safety aspects are not a regulatory approval matter under the LVD.

This is an extensive change that effects flammability (Clause 4.4.5.2), Drop test (clause 4.2.5) has some changes in Clause 6.2.2.2 that caused BABT to reissue Application Note 48 and last but not least, Clause 6.2.1.5 is aligned with EN41003:1993. This is just a sample of some of the changes, you need to work with your Notified Body to understand all of the changes.

It took some time for them to come around to the EN's. So. it would also seem likely that they would also be slow in recognizing the updated EN60950 with EN41003 included as clause 6. I would suggest calling your contact person at BABT and ask them if they recognize the new EN60950. Actually, they must have or should be preparing for the LVD break-in at the end of the year, which I believe refers to the new EN60950. Any comments? No, I have not mapped out the specific differences, but the essential requirements from EN41003 should be in EN 60950, clause 6. As far as differences between EN 60950 and UL 1950, I would recommend to look for the differences between IEC950 and UL1950 since IEC950 is the base standard of which EN60950 and UL1950 are based. Anyway, your contact at UL should be able to provide this information to you.
