Right smack in the middle of this myself. The answer received so far is it's one directional. UL will accept a 60950 power supply with 60065 equipment, but they cannot have a full CB report written because EU or parts of it (as explained to me) won't allow it.
Most maddening is that our customer wanders over to the store and finds cameras indicating they are listed to 60950 (information technology equipment). Yet UL says, and I would tend to agree, that a camera is not a computer, and won't allow this product under that standard. The camera (infra-red imager actually), does charge with a USB port, but can't be operated while charging. The customers legal staff said it would then be a computer peripheral. Heavy sigh!. It can't even be used for its intended purpose connected to the computer for charging, doesn't transfer, store, manipulate data, no Von Neumann architecture, and yet the legal beagals call it a computer peripheral. Sorry that's my rant for the day - but there are lots of folks that make 60065 chargers. Go out to UL's online directory, and enter AZSQ into the UL category code, and also enter power supply into the key word field, and you'll get a list of manufactures and model numbers for 60065 evaluated power supplies. We'll hope for you maybe - I can't get my design engineers to do it, they would rather I fight the dragon. I'm going for a beer - its going to be one of those days :) http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/cgifind.new/LISEXT/1FRAME/index.html Gary From: Grace Lin [mailto:graceli...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 4:52 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] AC Power Adapter, IEC 60065 vs IEC 60950-1 Dear Members, Can an IEC 60950-1 power adapter be used with an IEC 60065 device? Two of my collleagues told me yes. However, they couldn't find any regulatory document to support the comment. We have an IEC 60065 device under CB evaluation. The power adapter's CB certificate is under IEC 60950-1, not IEC 60065. The lab requests an IEC 60065 CB certificate for the power adapter (OEM). Thank you very much and look forward to hearing from you.
