Hello experts,

 

My goal is to put together a reading and reference list of fundamental
standards that help me understand the basic physics and rationale behind the
requirements in safety standards (mainly EN 62368-1, EN 61010-1, EN
60335-1).

 

I've been finding a lot of useful references from the Normative References
sections of these standards and from the IEC TR 62368-2 explanatory notes.

 

In your opinion, what standards should I add to this list to expand my
knowledge of electrical safety?

 

Thanks in advance

James

 

 

 

General Terminology

IEC 60050 IEV  <https://www.electropedia.org/> "Electropedia" although this
is sometimes lacking

 

Electric shock

IEC 60664-1 "Insulation coordination for equipment within low voltage supply
systems - Part 1: Principles, requirements and tests"

IEC 60990-1 "Methods of measurement of touch current and protective
conductor current"

IEC 60479 series shock current on humans and livestock

IEC 61201 Touch voltage limits

 

Electrically caused fire

Power source classification in 62368-1 references IEC 60065 and IEC 60950-1.
But where did they derive their information from? What are the power levels
based on?

UL 94 and UL 1581 for material and cable flammability

 

Thermal Burn

Basic standards detailing risks of touch temperatures ISO 13732-1 and IEC
Guide 117

Other?

 

Radiation

IEC 62471 "Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems"

IEC 60065 for audio levels

Other?

 

Mechanical hazards

???
