BS PD IEC TR 62368-2:2019

The scope excludes requirements for functional safety. Functional safety is addressed in IEC 61508-1. Because the scope includes computers that may control safety systems, functional safety requirements wouldnecessarily include requirements for computer processes and software.

The requirements provided in IEC 60950-23 could be modified and added to IEC 62368 as another -X document. However, because of the hazard-based nature of IEC 62368-1, the requirements from IEC 60950-23 have been incorporated into the body of IEC 62368-1 and made more generic.

The intent of the addition of the IEC 60950-23 requirements is to maintain the overall intent of the technical requirements from IEC 60950-23, incorporate them into IEC 62368-1 following the overall format ofIEC 62368-1 and simplify and facilitate the application of these requirements.

Robots traditionally are covered under the scopes of ISO documents, typically maintained by ISO TC 299. ISO TC 299 has working groups for personal care robots and service robots, and produces for example,ISO 13482, Robots and robotic devices – Safety requirements for personal care robots.Cross References:IEC 60364-5-54IEC TS 60479-2IEC 60695-2UL 1995NFPA 70IEC 60364-4-43UL/CSA 60950-1IEC 61051-1UL 1667 IEC 60664-2CSA C22.1-09IEC 60695-11-2IEC 60695-2-13IEC 60446UL 2178EC 98/37/CEIEC 60215IEC 61010-1ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:1999EN 41003:2008IEC 60950-1:2005/AMD2:2013IEC 60664-4:2005IEC 60950-1:2005NFPA 79:2002IEC 60065:2014IEC 60950-1:2005/AMD1:2009UIT-T K.21:2008EN 60065:2002IEC 60364-5-52 CAN/CSA C22.1UL 60065ASTM C1057
