- Add requirements for acoustic radiation (see 10.6);

- Add requirements for the input signal of the display (see B.2.5);

- Add new identification symbols for Class II equipment with a functional earthing

connection (see F.3.6.2);

- Add requirements for transformers using fully insulated winding wire (see G.5.3.4);

- Add requirements for liquid filled components (see G.15);

- Add requirements for integrated circuits and integrated circuits with X-capacitor

function (see G.16);

- Add and change the requirements for equipment containing batteries and their

protection circuits (see Annex M);

- Add the limited short-circuit test (see Annex R);

- Delete the spring impact hammer test (see 12.1.3 of GB 8898-2011);

- Add the children test probe and wedge probe (see Annex V);

- Add requirements for outdoor equipment (see Annex Y).

This document modifies and adopts IEC 62368-1.2018 "Audio/video, information and

communication technology equipment - Part 1.Safety requirements".

Compared with IEC 62368-1.2018, this document has technical differences, which are

marked with a vertical single line (|) in the outer margin of the clauses involved. These

technical differences and their reasons are as follows.

a) Scope of application

IEC 62368-1.2018 applies to equipment intended to be used at an altitude of 2000

m and below. Due to the particularity of China's geographical conditions and the

distribution characteristics of ethnic minority populations, after the revision of

some clauses of IEC 62368-1.2018, this document is applicable to equipment

Audio/video, information and communication technology

equipment - Part 1.Safety requirements
