IEC 62368-1 testing and certification services  

Safety standards for Audio/Visual and Information Technology Equipment (ITE) products moved away from a prescriptive approach to a hazard safety approach with the introduction of IEC 62368-1. This hazard-based standard offers greater flexibility in product design and makes it easier to introduce new technology.       

Currently, the requirements for IEC 62368-1 continue to evolve, and various countries around the globe are transitioning to the fourth edition of the standard.       

62368-1 covers a wide range of technology products, including:  

  • Computing and networking products: servers, PCs, routers, notebook/laptop computers, tablets and their power supplies  
  • Consumer electronics: amplifiers, home theater systems, digital cameras and personal music players
  • Displays and display units: monitors, TVs and digital projectors
  • Telecommunication products: network infrastructure equipment, cordless and mobile phones, and similar communication devices, including battery-powered devices
  • Office appliances: copiers and document shredders
  • Similar varieties of audio/video, information and communication technology equipment: devices used in homes, schools, data processing centers, commercial and professional environments

UL Solutions, a global safety science leader, can help you understand the requirements of IEC 62368-1 as they apply to your target markets and offerings, test and certify your products for the latest 62368-1 edition.
