Rich, It's the contrary one again... The standard you are quoting as problematic is IEC 60950-1. Going back into history, this standard was a derivation of IEC 950 which itself was created by combining two existing standards, IEC 380 and IEC 435. IEC 435 was derived from UL 478 and took an a

Hi Rich, Well, you know me, I'm not so easy to convince! Safety standards (well, at least IEC 60950-1) have various constructional requirements to ensure that not only is the connection good when it leaves the factory gate, but it has a good chance of staying that way throughout the life of the

In some ways, regulatory compliance can encourage innovation. In other ways, product regulatory compliance can stifle innovation. EMC standards focus on the end-result, namely emissions that cannot exceed specified limits. There are no requirements on how to achieve this goal. Safety standards d
