Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements

This part of IEC 62368 is applicable to the safety of electrical and electronic equipment within
the field of audio, video, information and communication technology, and business and office
machines with a rated voltage not exceeding 600 V. This document does not include
requirements for performance or functional characteristics of equipment.
NOTE 1 Examples of equipment within the scope of this document are given in Annex A.
NOTE 2 A rated voltage of 600 V is considered to include equipment rated 400/690 V.
This document is also applicable to:
– components and subassemblies intended for incorporation in this equipment. Such
components and subassemblies need not comply with every requirement of this document,
provided that the complete equipment, incorporating such components and
subassemblies, does comply;
– external power supply units intended to supply other equipment within the scope of this
document;
– accessories intended to be used with equipment within the scope of this document;
– large equipment installed in restricted access areas. For equipment having large
machinery aspects, additional requirements may apply; and
– equipment to be used in tropical regions.
This document also includes requirements for audio/video, information and communication
technology equipment intended to be installed in an outdoor location. The requirements for
outdoor equipment also apply, where relevant, to outdoor enclosures suitable for direct
installation in the field and supplied for housing audio/video, information and communication
technology equipment to be installed in an outdoor location. See Annex Y for specific
construction requirements not covered elsewhere in this document.
Each installation may have particular requirements. In addition, requirements for protection of
the outdoor equipment against the effects of direct lightning strikes are not covered by this
document.
NOTE 3 For information on this subject, see IEC 62305-1.
This document assumes a maximum altitude of 2 000 m unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer.
Additional requirements for equipment having the capability to supply DC power over
commonly used communication cables, such as USB or Ethernet (PoE), are given in
IEC 62368-3. IEC 62368-3 does not apply to:
– equipment supplying power using proprietary connectors; or
– equipment using a proprietary protocol for power selection.
This document specifies safeguards for ordinary persons, instructed persons, and skilled
persons. Additional requirements may apply for equipment that is clearly designed or
intended for use by children or specifically attractive to children.
NOTE 4 In Australia, the work conducted by an instructed person or a skilled person may require formal
licensing from regulatory authorities.
NOTE 5 In Germany, in many cases a person may only be regarded as an instructed person or a skilled person
if certain legal requirements are fulfilled.
This document does not apply to:
– equipment with non-self-contained hazardous moving parts, such as robotic equipment;
and
NOTE 6 For requirements related to robotic equipment in an industrial environment, see IEC 60204-1,
IEC 60204-11, ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2.
– personal care robots, including mobile servant robots, physical assistant robots, and
person carrier robots; and
NOTE 7 For requirements related to personal care robots, see ISO 13482.
– power supply systems that are not an integral part of the equipment, such as motorgenerator
sets, battery backup systems and distribution transformers.
This document does not address:
– manufacturing processes except for routine tests;
– injurious effects of gases released by thermal decomposition or combustion;
– disposal processes;
– effects of transport (other than as specified in this document);
– effects of storage of materials, components, or the equipment itself;
– the likelihood of injury from particulate radiation such as alpha particles and beta

NEW!IEC 62368-1:2018 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62368-1:2018 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 62368-1:2018 s'applique à la sécurité de l'équipement électrique et électronique dans le domaine des technologies audio, vidéo, d'information et de communication, et des machines commerciales ou de bureau dont la tension assignée est inférieure ou égale à 600 V. La présente norme ne contient ni les exigences de performances ni les caractéristiques fonctionnelles de l'équipement. Elle est une norme relative à la sécurité des produits qui classifie les sources d’énergie, spécifie des protections contre ces sources d’énergie, et fournit des recommandations concernant leur application et leurs exigences. Les protections spécifiées sont prévues pour réduire la probabilité de douleur, blessure et, en cas d'incendie, de dommage matériel. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2014. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
– ajout des exigences relatives au matériel pour installation extérieure;
– nouvelles exigences relatives au rayonnement optique;
– ajout des exigences relatives à l'isolant liquide;
– ajout des exigences relatives aux cellules de travail;
– ajout d'exigences relatives aux émetteurs de puissance sans fil;
– ajout d'exigences relatives aux fils de bobinage totalement isolés (FIW, fully insulated winding wire);
– méthode alternative de détermination des ouvertures supérieures, inférieures et latérales des enveloppes ignifuges;
– autres exigences relatives à la pression acoustique.
La présente publication groupée de sécurité est avant tout destinée à être utilisée en tant que norme en matière de sécurité des produits pour les produits cités dans le domaine d’application, mais elle doit également être utilisée par les comités d’études dans le cadre de l’élaboration de normes pour des produits similaires à ceux cités dans le domaine d’application de la présente norme, conformément aux principes établis dans le Guide IEC 104 et le Guide ISO/IEC 51.
