Guidance and Comparison between 60950-1 and 62368-1

This Technical Report provides a mapping and comparison between the clauses of the traditional IEC 60950-1 and the corresponding clauses, requirements and test methods in the new IEC 62368-1 standard. The tables in this TR identify the corresponding requirements and test methods in IEC 62368-1 for each clause in IEC 60950-1; Notable differences between the standards are highlighted to help:
– those familiar with IEC 60950-1 to adopt the Hazard Based Safety principles in equipment design; and
– assess the potential impact of requirements in IEC 62368-1 on existing equipment which has been designed using IEC 60950-1.
