Overview - What EN IEC 62368-1:2024 covers
EN IEC 62368-1:2024 adopts IEC 62368-1:2023 as the European/Slovenian safety standard for audio/video, information and communication technology equipment. It is a product safety standard that:
- Classifies energy sources present in equipment,
- Prescribes safeguards to reduce the likelihood of pain, injury or fire damage,
- Provides informative principles to help designers understand safety concepts (not a substitute for the detailed requirements).
The standard is published as EN IEC 62368-1:2024 (CENELEC approval) and corresponds with IEC 62368-1:2023 (see IEC webstore: https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/85813 for the RLV version showing changes from the previous edition).
Key topics and technical requirements
EN IEC 62368-1:2024 organizes requirements around practical safety principles and testing. Major technical topics include:
- Energy source classification (Class 1 / 2 / 3) and declaration procedures.
- Models for pain and injury, including electrically-caused shock, thermally-caused burns, mechanical and radiation hazards.
- Hierarchy and types of safeguards: equipment, installation, personal and behavioural safeguards; robustness and composition of safeguards; safety interlocks.
- Protection mechanisms for ordinary, instructed and skilled persons (different expectations and safeguards per user class).
- Electrical safety: classification of electrical energy sources, insulation and spacing, wiring fixation, switches, relays and disconnect devices.
- Fire protection and flammability: ignition models, material considerations and tests.
- Batteries and coin/button cells: construction, instructional safeguards and test requirements.
- Markings, instructions and testing: requirements for labelling, user information and compliance testing procedures.
- Specific sections cover liquids, refrigerants, LFCs, thermal tests, and equipment intended for direct insertion into mains sockets.
All topics are documented with normative references, terms and test criteria to support consistent compliance assessment.
Practical applications - who uses this standard
EN IEC 62368-1:2024 is used by:
- Product designers and R&D teams building AV, IT and communication equipment,
- Compliance and safety engineers preparing conformity documentation,
- Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting safety testing,
- Manufacturers aiming for CE marking and market access in Europe,
- Regulatory authorities and procurement teams requiring safety assurance.
By applying this standard, organizations reduce safety risks (electric shock, fire, burns) and align products with international and European safety expectations.
