Why 62368-1?
Early learning and preparation – The
introduction of the new options for CB
certification associated with IEC 62368-1 and
UL/cUL certification to CSA/UL 62368-1 gives
you the opportunity to learn about the new
62368-1 Standard, and the Hazard-Based Safety
Engineering (HBSE) concepts upon which it is
based, in order to prepare for the challenges of
its ultimate full implementation.
Flexibility – Early adoption may also give you
the opportunity to take advantage of the
increased flexibility offered by the new
standard, particularly the emphasis on safety
design in the early product development phase
and performance-oriented compliance options.
Why UL?
Expertise – UL has played a leading role in the
development of the new standard in both
management roles on IEC TC108 and a
member of various national committees
throughout Asia, Europe and North America
involved in its development, giving us
unequalled in-depth knowledge and
experience of its concepts and application.
Education – We have already been educating
the industry on the new standard for over two
years since the IEC version was first published
– and we will continue to be the knowledge
leader for the standard as it evolves.
Ongoing support – As an active participant on
IEC TC 108, the Technical Committee
responsible for the development and ongoing
maintenance of the standard, UL is perfectly
placed to guide manufacturers through the
process of compliance with the new standard
as it becomes mandatory.

How IEC 62368-1 & 62368-1 based national/
regional standards will change the certification landscape
In the ever-changing world of digital technology, safety standards for high-tech products are
constantly being updated or developed to reflect the changes. In the next five years, the predominant
approach to safety engineering will be significantly shifted from prescriptive rules to a new
hazard-based concept, with more performance-based options. As this transition progresses,
manufacturers need to keep an eye on the ongoing development of both the current standards
(60065 & 60950) and IEC & UL/CSA 62368-1, the alternative to those traditional safety standards.
Hazard-based Standards Development
UL has been actively involved in the development of the new standard, and can therefore be your most
reliable guide to the latest changes. With informed choices, manufacturers can make their own
decisions and follow their own pace on the road toward hazard-based safety standards.
The new approach, based on Hazard-Based
Safety Engineering (HBSE), has the added benefit
of better facilitating the introduction of new &
innovative methods of construction and
technology without first requiring amendment
of the relevant standards to accommodate it.

IEC 62368-1, Ed 1.0 – Audio/Video, Information

Safety Requirements – has been an IEC standard
since early 2010.
As the new standard represents a significant
departure from traditional standards, it has
initially been introduced as a voluntary
alternative to the existing standards, IEC 60065
and IEC 60950-1.
UL has been accredited by the IECEE for use of
IEC 62368-1 in the CB Scheme, which allows UL
to offer CB-related services, including Certificates
and Test Reports, for products that have been
determined by our accredited CBTLs to be
compliant with the First Edition of IEC 62368-1.
In addition, the milestone of formal publication
in February 2012 of the Standard in the United
States and Canada as a bi-national standard,
formally CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1/UL 62368-1,
means as an alternative to the UL & CSA 60065
and 60950-1 based standards, manufacturers
now can choose 62368-1 based UL and cUL
certification where a 60065 or 60950-1 based
standard was required in the past.
When IEC 62368-1, Ed 2.0 is published (2013
target), it is anticipated that the Standard will be
adopted in Europe as EN 62368-1, Ed 2.0 and a
harmonized North American version also will also
be proposed and adopted, as CSA/UL 62368-1,
Ed 2.0.
At that time it is expected that a formal
transition period, with Effectives Dates and Dates
of Withdrawal (DOW) of the legacy standards
based on 60065 and 60950-1 will be established
in North America, Europe and other
regions/countries that begin to adopt a 62368-1
based standard.

Why 62368-1?
Early learning and preparation – The
introduction of the new options for CB
certification associated with IEC 62368-1 and
UL/cUL certification to CSA/UL 62368-1 gives
you the opportunity to learn about the new
62368-1 Standard, and the Hazard-Based Safety
Engineering (HBSE) concepts upon which it is
based, in order to prepare for the challenges of
its ultimate full implementation.
Flexibility – Early adoption may also give you
the opportunity to take advantage of the
increased flexibility offered by the new
standard, particularly the emphasis on safety
design in the early product development phase
and performance-oriented compliance options.
Why UL?
Expertise – UL has played a leading role in the
development of the new standard in both
management roles on IEC TC108 and a
member of various national committees
throughout Asia, Europe and North America
involved in its development, giving us
unequalled in-depth knowledge and
experience of its concepts and application.
Education – We have already been educating
the industry on the new standard for over two
years since the IEC version was first published
– and we will continue to be the knowledge
leader for the standard as it evolves.
Ongoing support – As an active participant on
IEC TC 108, the Technical Committee
responsible for the development and ongoing
maintenance of the standard, UL is perfectly
placed to guide manufacturers through the
process of compliance with the new standard
as it becomes mandatory.

How IEC 62368-1 & 62368-1 based national/
regional standards will change the certification landscape
Why 62368-1?
Early learning and preparation – The
introduction of the new options for CB
certification associated with IEC 62368-1 and
UL/cUL certification to CSA/UL 62368-1 gives
you the opportunity to learn about the new
62368-1 Standard, and the Hazard-Based Safety
Engineering (HBSE) concepts upon which it is
based, in order to prepare for the challenges of
its ultimate full implementation.
Flexibility – Early adoption may also give you
the opportunity to take advantage of the
increased flexibility offered by the new
standard, particularly the emphasis on safety
design in the early product development phase
and performance-oriented compliance options.
Why UL?
Expertise – UL has played a leading role in the
development of the new standard in both
management roles on IEC TC108 and a
member of various national committees
throughout Asia, Europe and North America
involved in its development, giving us
unequalled in-depth knowledge and
experience of its concepts and application.
Education – We have already been educating
the industry on the new standard for over two
years since the IEC version was first published
– and we will continue to be the knowledge
leader for the standard as it evolves.
Ongoing support – As an active participant on
IEC TC 108, the Technical Committee
responsible for the development and ongoing
maintenance of the standard, UL is perfectly
placed to guide manufacturers through the
process of compliance with the new standard
as it becomes mandatory.
