1 IEEE/PSES Sand Diego Chapter meeting Dec IEC : The Latest on Impact, Transition & Status Grant Schmidbauer, Nemko USA, Inc. In preparation with: Jeff Pasternak Product Regulatory Business Strategist Data Center Group Intel Corporation Tom Burke Principal Product Safety Engineer, Consumer & Enterprise Technology Equipment UL LLC UL AND THE UL LOGO ARE TRADEMARKS OF UL LLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

2 Abstract Tom Burke UL LLC, and Jeff Pasternak, Intel Corp. presented a status update on IEC at ISPCE 2017 in San Jose, CA (May 2017). This presentation is a recap of that presentation with latest updates since May IEC Ed. 2 (Safety of AV/ICT Equipment) has been adopted in two major regions of the world, North America (Canada & U.S.) and Europe (EU), and is in the process of being adopted in other countries & regions, some possibly as early as the second half of this year. Formal transition dates are approaching fast, driving a recent uptick in worldwide interest in the standard, especially by manufacturers who will be directly impacted. 2 2

3 Abstract IEC TC108 s Hazard-Based Standard Development Team (HBSDT) met previously this year in April and have met again in October, thus providing a good opportunity for PSES members attending SPCE 2017 (Boston, MA) to get an update on the latest work on Ed. 3 of IEC , plus other late-breaking updates and developments associated with the Edition No. 2 transition, including planned adjustment of the EU formal transition date (DOW) by 18 months. This presentation will concentrate on key challenges and observations from a manufacturer s perspective, and from a certifier s experience, but also allow ample time for audience members to share personal knowledge, experiences, perspectives and concerns. 3 3

5 5 IEC : Introduction

6 The IEC & IEC The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) drives global standardization in the field of safety IEC standard development committees consist of deemed experts Globally countries adopt the use of IEC standards with National differences IEC is the safety standard of Audio, Visual, Information & Communication Technology Equipment developed to be technology independent a hazard-based safety standard 6

7 Transition History to IEC IEC 380 Office Equipment IEC 435 Data Office Equipment ACOS (Advisory Committee on Safety) IEC Guide 112 Guide for Safety of Multimedia Equipment IEC Information Technology Equipment TC74 TC92 IEC Audio, Video, Similar Apparatus TC108 HBSDT Hazard Based Safety Standard Technology Independent IEC Audio / Video Information and Communication Technology Equipment 7

8 IEC Market Relevance Total 43% of the CB Scheme Covers almost all electronic equipment in your living rooms 8

9 IEC Uses a Three Block Model Model for Injury Hazardous Energy Source Transfer Mechanism Body Part Model for Safety Hazardous Energy Source Safe Guard Body Part 9

10 Hazards Covered by in IEC Electric Shock Fire (internal / external) Hazardous Substances (battery, chemical, ozone) Mechanical (stability, sharp edges, moving parts) Thermal Burn (hot surfaces) Radiation (laser, x-ray, optical, sound) For each hazard, energy sources are classified into three levels: Level 1: Non-detectable to a detectable energy source Level 2: Detectable to painful energy Level 3: Painful to harmful energy 10 10

11 IEC Required Safeguards (ISO/IEC Guide 51 principles) Energy Source Hazardous? NO Level 1 Energy Non-detectable to detectable YES Level 2 Energy Detectable to painful No safeguard required Single Safeguard Ordinary Person Instructed Person Level 3 Energy Painful to harmful Double Safeguard Skilled Person 11

12 12 IEC A Manufacturer s Perspective w Key Considerations

13 Scl Acceptance of IEC 60950/60065 Components Sub-clause was purposely included in IEC to help manufacturers during transition period There is a note in IEC , 2 nd Edition that reference components and subassemblies that already comply with IEC or IEC are to be acceptable as part of the equipment covered by IEC without further evaluation other than to give consideration to appropriate use of the component or subassembly in the end-product. There is also an additional note in IEC to eliminate Scl in ed. 3 of the standard, however this is now removed.. Sub-clause has caused debates: What is a component or subassembly? Why only valid in second edition? 13

14 Why is Scl so Important to Manufacturers? To ease the transition for manufacturers Manufacturers currently cannot procure certified wiring to IEC wiring standards (IEC series) referenced in IEC Its inevitable some countries will be late in adopting 3 rd Edition - some products not able to certified to 2 nd Edition without Helps with many near end of life component products alleviates unnecessary need to not update a new certification especially when new standard technically is NOT developed to deal with safety issues 14

15 Why is Scl so Important to Manufacturers? Wiring IEC references the requirement for wiring to be compliant with IEC and based Standards for flammability of wire insulation and tubing. Very few suppliers of wiring complying with these standards available. We need to find a way to allow manufacturers to use the existing evaluation for wire and tubing insulation, while the industry prepares for the IEC wiring standards Additional TC108 work to help 3 rd Edition to include alternative acceptance criteria based on similar testing for UL approved wire 15 Wire insulation shall comply with the recommended performance requirements of the applicable IEC standards. Alternatively, the wire insulation and tubing shall comply with IEC/TS , with the sample conditioning of 6h minimum and without consideration for pigmentation

16 Why is Scl so Important to Manufacturers? Component Power Supplies Avoid: Redesign of ventilation openings new IEC flame cone area requirements Sourcing / certifying wire to IEC wiring standards 16

17 240VA (Energy Hazard) YES currently sited as hazard in IEC NOT sited as hazard in IEC What can this mean? 17

18 What Does It Mean No 240VA Required Protection? Accessibility by Ordinary Person deemed acceptable Motherboard 240VA access permitted by Power Supply No need for 240VA output limits (e.g. splitting 12V rails) Elimination of cover screws serviceability now OK without need of a tool 18

19 What Does It Mean No 240VA Required Protection? Drive Bay Backplane Accessibility No need for current limiting or insulation barriers Potential design costs saving opportunities right! Not so fast what may prevent this? Global Adoption of IEC

20 Fire Enclosure Plastics Flammability IEC based on power NOT weight! Standard Criteria Flame Rating IEC > 18 Kg 5V < 18 Kg V-1 IEC > 4000W 5V < 4000W V-1 small medium large < 4000W = V1 > 4000W = 5V 20

21 Fire Enclosure Ventilation Opening Designs IEC , 2 nd Edition identified as being more onerous for side ventilation openings! IEC , 2 nd Edition bases requirements on flame cone area for side ventilation openings making requirements more onerous! 21

22 Flame Cone Area Requirements Top Openings With respect to the Potential Ignition Source (PIS), top openings are any openings within 2mm area around the cone Side Openings Any opening that falls within either the top or bottom areas! MORE ONEROUS THAN IEC ! Potential Ignition Source (PIS) - 5mm any dimension; or - 1mm in width, regardless length 15mm 15mm Bottom Openings With respect to the Potential Ignition Source (PIS), bottom openings are any openings with 15mm areas - 3mm any dimension; or - 1mm in width, regardless length 22

23 Ed. 2 Air Flow Consideration - Flame Cone Area Requirements Top Openings Top Openings with Air Flow Considerations 45 Degree Rotation Air Flow Potential Ignition Source (PIS) With respect to the Potential Ignition Source (PIS), top openings are any openings with within the extended area as a result of the 45 degree rotation 15mm 15mm 23

24 Ed. 2 Assessing Fire Enclosure Side Ventilation Openings With a PIS at the edge of the component zone the bottom portion of the flame cone extends out through the side vents. With a PIS at the edge of the component zone, the top portion of the flame cone (cone straight with no airflow considerations) extends through the side vents With a PIS at the edge of the component zone, the top portion of the flame cone with airflow considerations) extends further through the side vents 24

25 Ed. 3 Assessing Fire Enclosure Side Ventilation Openings 3 rd Edition adds for Side Openings Current constructions DO NOT comply with IEC flame cone requirements Clause references new Figure PIS 5 o Current constructions today comply with IEC degree projection requirements 25

32 Ed. 3 of IEC : Anticipated Changes Clause 4 (General) IEC TC108 has decided to keep the legacy component (60065 & ) provision in (for Ed. 3 FDIS). Note: IEC TC108 Interpretation Panel has now completed a formal interpretation of 4.1.1, and its application to systems of AV/ICT, including external components like external power supplies, and will publish (soon) as an INF

33 Ed. 3 of IEC : Anticipated Changes Clause 4 (General) New requirements for insulating liquids (also Cl 5 & 6). New requirements for coin/button cell batteries. For equipment installed by Ordinary Persons, all likely positions of orientation of the equipment to be taken into account, incl. possibility of mounting to a non-vertical surface, and regardless of instructions provided by the manufacturer 33

34 Ed. 3 of IEC : Anticipated Changes Clause 5 (Electric Shock) Refinement of requirements for Clearances, incl. new prescriptive option (Annex X) based on Tables.

48 EU Announced Formal Transition Dates EU Date of Withdrawal (DOW) - Legacy Standards (60065/ ): June 20, 2019 (original) Official Journal (OJ) of the EU (latest): Sept. 8, 2017 DOW = Date superseded standards (60065 & ) cease to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the relevant Union legislation (LVD & RED)

49 Recent EU Activity on EN Ed. 2 CENELEC BT voted to extend DOW from June 20, 2019 to December 20, 2020 (18 mo extension). Active discussion between CENELEC & European Regulators to establish the revised DOW as new published date that superseded standards (EN & ) cease to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the relevant Union legislation (LVD & RED). Need change published formally in EU Official Journal (OJ)! Outcome expected Q (we thought it would have already happened by now)! 49

50 Recent EU Activity on EN Ed CENELEC also agreed to remove the legacy component provision in from Ed. 2 (effective Dec. 20, 2020). o Legacy component provision also will be removed from Ed. 3 of EN , even if IEC TC108 keeps it in. In EU, after Dec. 20, 2020, EN & EN certified components no longer will be permitted in equipment investigated to EN without additional investigation. However, as a formal amendment process, CLC TC108 has started an UAP (Unique Acceptance Procedure) for an Amendment for a Common Modification of EN :2014 to delete the allowance to use the legacy standards for components in clause

51 Recent EU Activity on EN Ed. 2 If DOW/Date of Cessation extended, and announced in the EU Official Journal (OJ): Manufacturers have option to transition from EN or EN to Ed. 3 of EN directly, bypassing Ed. 2 of EN By December 20, 2020, manufacturers would need to transition to either, Ed. 2 or Ed. 3 of EN And by December 20, 2020, manufacturers would need to ensure that their complete supply chain of legacy components (system parts) are also transitioned to Ed. 2 or Ed. 3 of EN

52 UL Announced Formal Transition Dates US (UL) Effective Date New Products: June 20, 2019 Soft Transition: No formal Industry File Review (IFR) of existing certifications. Will modify transition in alignment with EU (ie, Dec. 20, 2020 when published) 52 52

59 Limited Power Sources & Evolution of USB 3.0 /3.1 Quick Charging Standardization 2A on micro-usb 3A on USB-C 3A on USB-C (Profile 4) - Allows charging at 5V, 12 & 20V - Up to 5A currents / 100 W charging - Likely new standard for cell phone - Becoming more popular on tablets & laptops It is a propriety system Certification is required Quick charge is one of the most common protocols 59

60 Limited Power Sources USB Challenges IEC USB typically assessed to PS2 / maybe PS3 Electrically caused fire power source classes PS1 < 15 watts After 3 sec. PS2 < 100 watts After 5 sec. PS3 > 100 watts MUST think about: A device connected to a USB >100W (PS3) REQUIRES fire enclosure Inoperability's between the host and USB device IEC TC100 has issued Committee Draft for IEC covering inoperability guidelines for USB-C power supplies Many concerns can be addressed by communication between the power supply and host device The draft standard covers potential issues for the cable connecting the EPS to the host device Inoperability affects both functionality and safety 60

61 USB-C Safety Certification Design Challenges Ensure cable can support maximum current Safe guard against: Fault condition contamination causing a short Inoperability supply to device (communication) Voltage differences Will device need voltage protection? Power limiting will supply provide current limiting? Common Connector fits into USB slot however no certification is required on common connectors 61

62 New IEC (108/695/FDIS): DC power transfer through communication cables or ports Equipment interface requirements for both, a) IEC (RFT) ES3, and b) other low voltage ES1 & ES2 with DC power transfer, such as USB, and PoE, and in-building telecom (formerly TNV-2). Covers both Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) & Powered Devices (PD) 62

63 New IEC (108/695/FDIS): DC power transfer through communication cables or ports Power limitation for ES1/ES2 (e.g., USB, PoE, etc.): a) If powering building wire (e.g., PoE) = LPS (Q.1); b) If powering other equipment = PS2 or LPS; and under abnormal & single fault conditions, the PSE output current shall not exceed, 50 % (for circuits 2 A) rated max. for more than 5 seconds; and 30 % (for circuits > 2 A) rated max. for more than 5 seconds; and 8.0 A under any circumstances. Note: Exception if power delivery spec. has specific limits for fault current, use spec. limit. 63

64 New IEC (108/695/FDIS): DC power transfer through communication cables or ports Voltage limitation for ES1/ES2 (e.g., USB, PoE, etc.), a) PSE: Output voltage, under single fault, shall be limited to, 130% of rated for circuits, w/o negotiation; or 130% of rated for circuits > 5V (max 7.5 V), w/negotiation; 150% of rated for circuits 5V, w/negotiation. b) PD: Shall not create any hazard when supplied with 130 % of nominal rated for circuits > 5V (min. 7.5 V); 150 % of nominal rated for circuits 5V. 64

65 New IEC (108/695/FDIS): DC power transfer through communication cables or ports In Amendment No. 1, RFT requirements also will need to be aligned with (new): ITU-T K.50, Safe limits for operating voltages and currents of telecommunication systems powered over the network. Other refinements for ES1 & ES2 also anticipated! IEC TC 64 will have a similar function for IEC , which includes the electrical installation/ infrastructure, like PoE outlets in the wall and PoE wire/cabling behind the wall. 65
