The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) tests the safety of electronics in accordance with the IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368 standard.
What is IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368?
The IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368 safety standard establishes numerous guidelines for the manufacturing and distribution of audio, video, communication, and information technology equipment. The standard is internationally recognized and has effectively replaced two previously established standards, IEC 60065 and IEC 60950. The standard includes several key elements that address the following:
Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
Safety is the primary objective of the IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368 standard, and safety is achieved via a proactive approach that identifies risks and hazards associated with a product.
Constructional Requirements
The standard establishes strict requirements for the construction of ICT, audio, and video equipment, including guidelines regarding the product’s ventilation, insulation, mechanical strength, and protection against electrical shock.
Electric Shock and Fire Hazards
The standard details safety measures that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of electric shock and fire. Its guidelines specify safety measures that uphold safety if electric circuits, power supplies, and energy sources.
Energy Efficiency
The standard takes the necessary measures to encourage the development of energy-efficient and sustainable products.
