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 ZX81 which had such a jack socket for power. And the same sort for connecting to the tape recorder.
The power supply will use the more usual circular DC 2.1mm dia. power connector and socket on the device. They happen to be called ‘DC Jacks’ within our sphere which I mangled in my original email. The product doesn’t have to work with a phone, it has manual input buttons on it too. The consumer would miss out on some features by not using the 'app'. I agree 62368-1 is more appropriate as it is now the state of the art but commercially when ‘wall wart’ power supplies are at the price they are being offered for a product that will sell out before December 2020 it seems use of the ‘current’ 60950 or 60335 standards will overrule the correct compliance engineering! Anyway I have put that to the potential vendors regarding 62368-1. The question still remains, I guess, that is a power supply to 62368-1 right for household use over 60335-1?
