Products falling inside the scope of TC 108, namely IEC/EN 60065, IEC/EN 60950 and IEC 62368-1, are not following the implementation time frame of the Test Schedule based on IEC 62133 based on CMC DECISION 15/2010.
While both IEC 60065 and IEC 60950-1 provide normative lists of component standards for use when testing and evaluating end products, there is no mention of IEC 62133 in the current editions of these two standards. As a consequence, end products that come within the scope of IEC TC 108 cannot be tested against the requirements specified by IEC 62133.
TC 108 is in the process of developing the next editions of IEC 60065, 60950-1 and 62368-1 and has recently issued CD (Committee Draft) 108/455/CD. Annex M of the CD deals with batteries and was prepared taking into account the comments received on a previous CD containing similar requirements. While 108/455/CD is specifically targeted for the second edition of IEC 62368-1, TC 108 has agreed to include the same technical content regarding batteries in the next editions of IEC 60065 and 60950-1.
As a result of the above, it is anticipated that the next editions of IEC 60065, 60950-1, and 62368-1 will contain normative references to IEC 62133, as well as other battery standards, as appropriate.
It is anticipated that batteries that are in compliance with the next edition of IEC 62133 will also be required to comply with the next editions of the three TC 108 standards mentioned above.
