DIN EN IEC 62368-1: Audio, video, information and communication technology
DIN EN IEC 62368-1 defines safety requirements for audio, video, information and communication technology devices and equipment.
The standard was developed to replace older safety standards such as DIN EN 60950-1 and DIN EN 60065. It applies to a wide range of devices, including multimedia devices, IT devices, communication devices, audio and video equipment and their accessories and is therefore not only used in industry, but also for devices in private households. DIN EN IEC 62368-1 specifies various protective measures to protect users from electrical, mechanical, and other potential hazards and is not only aimed at professional operating personnel. The measures include, for example, appropriate insulation and protection against contact and electric shock.
DIN EN IEC 62368-1 has a wide range of applications
DIN EN IEC 62368-1 is based on the principle of performance and risk-based safety. It is technology-independent, which means that it is applicable to a wide range of devices. According to the requirements, manufacturers must provide technical documentation such as manuals, safety instructions and installation instructions. They must also ensure that their products are traceable, so that action can be taken in the event of safety problems. A comprehensive warranty is therefore essential for the market launch of devices that must be tested in accordance with DIN EN IEC 62368-1.
Some examples for these are the following:
- Smartphones and tablets
- Laptops, desktop computers and monitors
- Televisions
- Audio amplifiers and speakers
- Game consoles
- DVD and Blu-ray players
- Network switches and routers
- Printers and scanners
- IP cameras
- VoIP telephones (Voice over Internet Protocol)
- Interactive whiteboards
- Barcode scanners
- Projectors and beamers
- Video conferencing systems
