The electronics-market is growing fast – new devices, new tech, new ideas. Along with that, safety-requirements also rise. That’s why Israel introduced Standard 62368 TI – a rulebook now mandatory for makers and importers of electronic and IT-devices.
What is Standard 62368 TI
62368 TI is based on the global norm IEC 62368-1. It replaced two older rules – IEC 60065 (audio-video-gear) and IEC 60950-1 (IT-equipment). The new standard merges them into one system focused on risk-assessment and user-protection.
Earlier, producers just checked compliance with rule-points. Now they must prove the device is designed safely – all potential hazards must be eliminated by design.
Core-principles of 62368 TI
The standard is built on the Energy-Source-Classification (ESC) concept – it defines which energy-levels are dangerous and how to protect from them.Main-ideas:
- risk-prevention at the design-stage;
- evaluation of all energy-types – electrical, thermal, mechanical;
- multi-level user and service-staff protection;
- flexible-solutions – different technical-paths allowed if safety is achieved.
In Israel, 62368 TI is mandatory for most devices:
- servers, laptops, monitors, routers;
- network-adapters and telecom-gear;
- audio-video units, projectors, amplifiers;
- chargers and power-supplies.
The 62368 TI is harmonized with global norms, simplifying export to Europe, USA, Canada, and Asia.
Benefits for producers and importers
Certification 62368 TI helps businesses:
- get fast-access to the Israeli-market;
- boost customer-trust and partner-confidence;
- reduce recall and warranty-risks;
- meet world-safety-requirements.
How certification works
Steps include:- Technical-documentation and device-design review.
- Lab-testing under 62368 TI.
- Compliance-report preparation.
- Issuing of Israeli-certificate and product-registration.
