IEC 950

From Schaffner EMC Inc.
 

 
This new CENELEC standart, familiarly referred as "IEC 950", is the primary safety standard which must be met by electronic equipment if it is to be sold into the European Union after December 31, 1992.The standard is intended to control equipment and is not a component standard. Therefore, although a power line EMI filter (such as made by Schaffner) can be designed and built in accordance with IEC 950, it is not possible to have a formal IEC 950 approval granted for such a filter. Underwriter's lab standard UL 1950 is intended to be in harmony with EN 60950, although at this time a few small differences still seem to exist and approval by UL to UL 1950 does not automatically certify the equipment under EN 60950.
