[PSES] Demonstrating Compliance to the LVD w/o using 62368
Has anyone experienced having an ITE product that complies with IEC60950 requirements, but does not comply with some portions IEC 62368? In particular the use of a non-LPS psu. Is there some sort of risk analysis that can be done to prove up conformance to the directive based on 60950 with or without supplemental test??

Ted, John, Chuck Thank you the feedback. Much appreciated.

IEC 60950-1 allows continuous contact with plastic at 75 C. Even glass is allows a continuous temperature of 70 C. Imagine using one of those new glass-bodied cell phones with it at that temperature. IEC 62368-1 reduces the continuous contact temperature limit to 48 C for all materials. There were probably many older laptop computers with plastic cases that could exceed 48 C on the bottom surface during use. Those laptops would not comply with IEC 62368-1. This isn't the only item to consider, but it's the one I'm most familiar with. There are additional issues related to fire enclosures where a product could pass IEC 60950-1 but fail IEC 62368-1 2nd Edition. However, these issues have largely be resolved with IEC 62368-1 3rd edition. TC 108 recognized that there were many constructions allowed under IEC 60950-1 that were shown to be acceptable through years of use, yet disallowed by IEC 62368-1 2nd edition. Many issues were resolved with the update. Ted Eckert Microsoft Corporation The opinions experessed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer or TC 108.

I work on the audio side so our base standard is 60065. So to rephrase the question; "Has anyone experienced having an audio product that complies with IEC 60065 requirements, but does not comply with some portions IEC 62368? " I was informed during factory audit the Hipot test voltage changed from 1500 VAC to 1768 VAC ? Oh, and outdoor use also changes from IEC 62368 2ed, calls for using 60950-22 at current editions, which the 2005 edition did not require a dust test, but new (required) 2nd edition requires a dust test, where as 60065 required only IPX4 testing.

I understand the desire ensure the end user get the cord set they actually need, but I've also seen where there is backlash. Some recipients simply throw away the cord they don't need. The best solution I've seen, is to structure top-level BOMs with a generic product BOM as one of the "components" and then add country specific sub-assemblies, labels, translated user manuals, etc. I've even seen where top-level BOMs will have the 2-letter ISO 3166 country code baked into the part number.
