Tekst fra IEC om Safety of electronic equipment within the field of audio/video, information technology and communication technology
Standardization in the field of safety for audio/video and similar technology, information technology and communication technology equipment.
Additionally, to prepare requirements for methods of measurement of energy efficiency of information technology and communication technology equipment. Consideration of energy efficiency includes power conservation
Horizontal safety function:
Methods of measuring touch current and protective conductor current (IEC 60990)
This includes, for various types of equipment, methods of measurement of touch current with regard to physiological effects and of protective conductor current for installation purposes. The methods of measurement consider both normal conditions and certain fault conditions.
Safety of equipment electrically connected to a telecommunication network (IEC 62151)
Group safety function:
Audio, video and similar electronic equipment
Tekst fra CENELEC om Safety of electronic equipment within the fields of Audio/Video, Information Technology and Communication Technology
1. To deal with the adoption in CENELEC of technical work of IEC/TC 108 and to coordinate the work with other technical Bodies at European level e.g. ETSI. To make own Standards where a particular need arises. Note : The field of application of IEC/TC 108 is as follows: Standardization in the field of safety for audio/video and similar technology, information technology and communication technology equipment, including environmental aspects. Additionally, to prepare requirements for methods of measurement of energy efficiency of information technology and communication technology equipment. Consideration of energy efficiency includes power conservation.
2. To ensure that any deviation from the IEC standards, such as common modifications, special national conditions and A-deviations, is only in response to a clear and justifiable European need, such as European and national legislative needs.
3. To resolve application questions e.g. raised by CCA Operational Staff Meetings relative to standards within the responsibility of CLC/TC 108.
4. To keep IEC/TC 108 informed of European requirements so that they may be considered for inclusion in IEC standards within the responsibility of IEC/TC 108.
