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
