Lauren, I have successfully certified products with a Regulating Network which is a power source having a current limiting regulation circuit, for example an approved wall wart or brick power supply which features output short circuit protection. Of course “approved” in this context means acceptable in the particular standard you are using and in the case of IEC/EN 61010-1:2010, must meet the limits of Tables 17 & 18. If your power source is an in-house design, it must be tested to meet these requirements as a part of the overall product certification and the circuit reported in the TRF you are using e.g IEC61010-1 I (2013-07), Form A.24.

The “Other Brian” asked a similar question in 2009, but did not get an answer (ref https://www.mail-archive.com/emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org/msg60829.html ) Borrowing from his message (and updating to the new revision of the standard) The 61010-1 standard in section 9.4 calls out three methods that can provide a “Limited-Energy” Circuit; 1) inherently limited circuit; 2) over current protection device, and 3) a Regulating Network. e.g. would a programmable driver chip qualify as a "regulating network"?
