Important Safety Certification Standards and Transition Support Information
The IEC 60950-1 2nd Edition safety standard (Information Technology Equipment) is going through a
replacement phase due to the new IEC 62368-1 3rd Edition safety standard (Audio/Video, Information, and
Communication Technology Equipment).
Intel® server systems identified in this document are certified to:
•
The new IEC 62368-1 3rd Edition standard for countries that have adopted this new standard.
•
The outgoing IEC 60950-1 2nd Edition standard for countries that have not yet adopted the new
standard.
During the global adoption/certification transition phase between the outgoing and new standards, safety
requirement differences between the standards may temporarily dictate restricted usage of Intel® server
system products as follows:
•
In countries that have adopted the new IEC 62368-1 3rd Edition standard, no location restrictions
apply beyond the standard intended application use requirements.
•
In countries that have not yet adopted the new IEC 62368-1 3rd Edition standard, restricted access
locations are required. Access in these locations is permitted only by technically trained and qualified
personnel who are aware of potential safety hazards.
Note:
This requirement applies only to Intel® server system products released in 2019 or later. Legacy Intel®
server system products (released in 2018 or earlier) provide safeguards that require no additional access
restrictions.
Explanation of temporary restricted access location measures
The new IEC 62368-1 3rd Edition standard does not consider 240 VA an energy hazard. The outgoing IEC
60950-1 2nd Edition standard does consider 240 VA an energy hazard, therefore Intel® server system
products released in 2019 or later certified to this standard require restricted access locations. Legacy Intel®
server system products (released in 2018 or earlier) were designed with additional safeguards to meet IEC
60950-1 2nd Edition standard 240 VA requirements, so no location restrictions apply beyond the standard
intended application use requirements. After the IEC 60950-1 standard is phased out globally and Intel
server system products are certified to the new IEC 62368-1 standard, the temporarily restricted access
locations will no longer be required.
