In the fast-evolving world of information technology equipment, IEC 62368-1 stands as the cornerstone standard for audio/video, information, and communication technology (AVICT) products. Replacing older standards like IEC 60950 and 60065, it focuses on hazard-based safety engineering to protect against risks like fire, electric shock, and mechanical hazards. If you’re manufacturing wearables, data centers, power supplies, or computers, compliance isn’t optional—it’s your ticket to global markets. But navigating its complexities can be daunting.
Enter Product Safety Consulting, led by John Allen, President and CEO. “We know the standard 62368 like the back of our hands,” Allen states, crediting their involvement from its inception. This insider knowledge sets them apart, enabling seamless support for IT manufacturers worldwide.
Why IEC 62368 Matters for Your Products
IEC 62368-1 applies to a broad range of IT gear, emphasizing practical safeguards over rigid prescriptions. Non-compliance risks certification failures, market bans, and recalls. Product Safety Consulting excels in categories like:
– Wearables and consumer electronics
– Data center infrastructure
– Power supplies and adapters
– Computers, servers, and networking equipment
Their process minimizes surprises:
1. Pre-Certification Testing: Identify issues early through rigorous evaluations.
2. Construction Evaluation: Analyze design and build to align with standard requirements.
3. Submission and Management: Handle the full certification process on your behalf.
4. Fix Recommendations: If non-compliances arise, provide targeted fixes for quick resolution.
The payoff? A faster, smoother path to certification, reducing time-to-market and costs.
