Hi Grace: Since the lab has requested a 60065 CB, I would seek a second CB, for IEC 60065, rather than argue with the lab. The physical construction of a power adapter meets both standards. The terminology differs, and the CB differs. This should be a paperwork endeavor with no testing. Just copy the relevant requirements from the 60950-1 CB into the 60065 CB. You can prepare the draft, then submit it together with the 60950-1 CB to your favorite NCB (and a sample, of course). Then, just pay the money. You don't have to ask your power adapter suppler to do the work. You can do it yourself with your favorite NCB. Best regards, Rich

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.
