SIST EN 60950-1:2006/A2:2014

Information technology equipment - Safety - Part 1: General requirements

This standard is applicable to mains-powered or battery-powered information technology equipment, including electrical business equipment and associated equipment, with a RATED VOLTAGE not exceeding 600 V. This standard is also applicable to such information technology equipment: - designed for use as telecommunication terminal equipment and TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK infrastructure equipment, regardless of the source of power; - designed and intended to be connected directly to, or used as infrastructure equipment in, a CABLE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, regardless of the source of power; - designed to use the AC MAINS SUPPLY as a communication transmission medium (see Clause 6, Note 4 and 7.1, Note 4). This standard is also applicable to components and subassemblies intended for incorporation in information technology equipment. It is not expected that such components and subassemblies comply with every aspect of the standard, provided that the complete information technology equipment, incorporating such components and subassemblies, does comply.

Oprema za informacijsko tehnologijo - Varnost - 1. del: Splošne zahteve - Dopolnilo A2 (IEC 60950-1:2005/A2:2013, spremenjen)

Ta standard velja za opremo za informacijsko tehnologijo z omrežnim napajanjem ali baterijskim napajanjem, vključno z električno poslovno opremo in z njo povezano opremo z OCENJEVALNO NAPETOSTJO, ki ne presega 600 V. Ta standard prav tako velja za takšne vrste opreme za informacijsko tehnologijo: - načrtovano za uporabo v telekomunikacijski opremi terminalov in opremi za telekomunikacijsko omrežno infrastrukturo, ne glede na vir napajanja; - načrtovano in namenjeno za neposredno povezavo ali uporabljeno kot infrastrukturno opremo v RAZDELITVENEM SISTEMU KABLOV, ne glede na vir napajanja; - načrtovano tako, da uporablja IZMENIČNO OMREŽNO NAPAJANJE kot medij za prenos informacij (glej klavzulo 6, opomba 4 in 7.1, opomba 4).   Ta standard prav tako velja za sestavne dele in podsklope, namenjene vključitvi v opremo za informacijsko tehnologijo. Ne pričakuje se, da so takšni sestavni deli in podsklopi v skladu z vsakim vidikom standarda, pod pogojem, da je celotna oprema za informacijsko tehnologijo, ki vsebuje takšne sestavne dele in podsklope, skladna.

FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 108: Safety of electronic
equipment within the field of audio/video, information technology and communication
technology.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
108/507/FDIS 108/510/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
____________
0.1 General principles of safety
Replace, in the existing second paragraph, the words "technologies and materials" by
"technologies, components and materials".
Add, between the existing second and third paragraphs, the following new note:
NOTE The need for additional detailed requirements to cope with a new situation should be brought promptly to
the attention of the appropriate committee.
1.1.1 Equipment covered by this standard
Replace the existing third paragraph by the following new paragraph:
This part of IEC 60950 is also applicable to:
– components and subassemblies intended for incorporation in this equipment. Such
components and subassemblies need not comply with every requirement of the standard,
provided that the complete equipment, incorporating such components and
subassemblies, does comply;
– external power supply units intended to supply other equipment within the scope of this
part of IEC 60950;
– accessories intended to be used with equipment within the scope of this part of
IEC 60950.
Replace, in the existing NOTE 1, the words "components and subassemblies" by "components,
subassemblies and accessories".

1.1.3 Exclusions
Replace in the existing first dash "and transformers;" by "and distribution transformers;"
1.2.1.1
RATED VOLTAGE
Replace the existing definition by the following new definition:
supply voltage from which the equipment is to be operated as declared by the manufacturer
1.5.1 General
Replace the existing text and notes of this subclause by the following new text:
Where safety is involved, components shall comply with the requirements of this standard or,
where specified in a requirements clause, with the safety aspects of the relevant IEC
component standards.
NOTE An IEC component standard is considered relevant only if the component in question clearly falls within its
scope.
Components and subassemblies that comply with IEC 62368-1 are acceptable as part of an
equipment covered by this standard without further evaluation other than to give consideration
to the appropriate use of the component or subassembly in the end-product.
1.5.2 Evaluation and testing of components
Replace the existing text and note of this subclause by the following new text:
Where use of an IEC component standard is permitted above, evaluation and testing of
components shall be conducted as follows:
– a component shall be checked for correct application and use in accordance with its
rating;
– a component that has been demonstrated to comply with a standard harmonized with the
relevant IEC component standard shall be subjected to the applicable tests of this
standard, as part of the equipment, with the exception of those tests that are part of the
relevant IEC component standard;
– a component that has not been demonstrated to comply with a relevant standard as above
shall be subjected to the applicable tests of this standard, as part of the equipment, and to
the applicable tests of the component standard, under the conditions occurring in the
equipment;
NOTE The applicable test for compliance with a component standard is, in general, conducted separately.
– where components are used in circuits not in accordance with their specified ratings, the
components shall be tested under the conditions occurring in the equipment. The number
of samples required for test is, in general, the same as required by an equivalent
standard.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the relevant data or tests.
1.5.6 Capacitors bridging insulation
Replace the existing second dash of this subclause by the following new dash:
– Humidity: (93 ± 3) % relative humidity;

voltage (not the r.m.s. voltage) of Table 5B for BASIC INSULATION, or the peak value of the test voltage of
Table 5C for BASIC INSULATION, as applicable;
– the TYPE TEST r.m.s. voltages of the single capacitor shall be not less than the required r.m.s. test voltage
of Table 5B for BASIC INSULATION, or the equivalent r.m.s. test voltage (not the peak voltage) of Table 5C

of all capacitors shall be not less than the peak value of the test voltage (not the r.m.s. voltage) of Table
5B, or the peak value of the test voltage of Table 5C, as applicable;
