The secrecy is mostly justified as a protection of committee members
from abusive reactionsand even threats. However, the secrecy is often
exaggerated, because we don't like being asked for documents we
personally are not allowedto pass on. It's up to the National Committees
of the IEC or ISO in each case to decide whether an enquirer has a
justified reason for studying a 'work in progress' document, and their
attitudes do differ; some are more liberal than others.
But committee members of National Committees that mirror IEC or ISO
committees are not just encouraged but required to consult their
colleagues in their sponsoring organization about responses to
circulated documents.The restrictions in this case are significant for
those National Committees that charge for committee membership.
Both IEC and British Standards have relatively recently introduced new
ways that non-members of committees can see and comment on documents.
See the web sites for details. This may require a lot of 'burrowing'.

I object to the secrecy and closed aspects of the IEC standards
process. A better example is the NFPA where revision cycles are
rigorously scheduled, public input and change requests are welcome,
proposals are openly debated and published, and the standard is
publicly available. They still seem to generate sufficient revenue
from standards sales.

1. You can ask your National Committee, but that may not work. At
some future date, maybe not far off, it may be available from the IEC
as a 'PRV' (Pre-release version), which you pay for but then get the
actual published version for no additional charge.
2. The differences are too extensive and to detailed to recount. And
'major' is a dangerous word. A big change might not affect your
product but a small change could put it off the market until it's fixed.
3. Yes, after a lot of headless chicken, it is.

Hi all,
Good afternoon,
1) May I know where can one has access to IEC 62368-1 3ed, Final
Draft International Standard (FDIS) ?
2) What are the major differences between IEC 62368-1 3ed and 2nd
editions ?
3) Is Sub-clause 4.1.1 on uses of IEC 60950/60065 Components still
allowed in IEC 62368-1 3ed ?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Regards, Vincent
