IEC 60950-1:2005 Information technology equipment – Safety – Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60950-1:2005, developed by the IEC, is a core safety standard for information technology equipment. It applies to a wide range of IT devices such as computers, servers, printers, routers, displays, and their accessories like power adapters. Its primary goal is to safeguard operators, maintenance personnel, and the surrounding environment from safety risks—including electric shock, fire, mechanical injury, and thermal harm—during normal use or reasonably foreseeable fault conditions, while also associating with safety-related electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

To ensure safety, the standard specifies detailed technical requirements covering electrical insulation, material heat resistance, mechanical structural stability, and protection against abnormal operations like short circuits. It also outlines test methods for compliance verification. Though later superseded by IEC 62368-1, IEC 60950-1:2005 remained a foundational reference for years, guiding the design, production, and safety certification of IT products globally, ensuring consistent safety performance across manufacturers and regions.
