PARTICULAR SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR EQUIPMENT TO BE CONNECTED TO INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62949 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 108: Safety of electronic equipment within the field of audio/video, information technology and communication technology. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 108/664/FDIS 108/676/RVD

– 6 – IEC 62949:2017 © IEC 2017 INTRODUCTION This document is applicable for products intended to be connected as communication terminal to an ICT network not covered by the scope of IEC 62368-1. It is to be used in conjunction with other product safety standards, examples of which are listed in Annex A. This document, in accordance with the 'principles of safety' given in the introduction of IEC 62368-1, covers the requirements and compliance criteria under three headings. • Protection of equipment users from hazards in the equipment. The users are considered to be protected from hazards in the equipment if the equipment complies with a relevant safety standard, for example one of those listed in Annex A, but compliance with those standards is not part of this document. NOTE An equipment user could be an ordinary person or an instructed person. • Protection of skilled persons or instructed persons working on an ICT network and other users of an ICT network, from hazardous conditions on an ICT network resulting from the connection of the equipment. • Protection of equipment users from voltages on an ICT network. Upper limits for ICT networks signals have been defined. They include also telephone ringing signals which have been defined taking into account voltages commonly used in the different networks. The electrical hazard criteria have been chosen to be in accordance with IEC TS 60479 (all parts). Test levels used for the equipment take account of the possibility that overvoltages may occur on ICT networks. Special consideration has been given to equipment parts expected to be held or touched during normal use, e.g. telephone handsets. It is recognised that in high overvoltages risk areas, requirements of this document may not be sufficient. Additional protective devices, not covered by this document, may be installed in the ICT networks to better meet extreme conditions. A comparison of terms introduced in this document with existing IEC standards is given in Annex C.

PARTICULAR SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR EQUIPMENT TO BE CONNECTED TO INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
1 Scope This document applies to the interface of equipment designed and intended to be connected as a communication terminal to an information and communication technology (ICT) network termination. This document does not apply to: • equipment covered by IEC 62368-1; and • interfaces to other networks. NOTE 1 An example of ‘other networks’ is a dedicated Home and Building Electronic Systems/Building Automation and Control Systems HBES/BACS network covered by EN 50491-3. This document specifies the safety requirements of the interface to the ICT network only. NOTE 2 See Annex D. Requirements additional to those specified in this document may be necessary for • equipment intended for operation while exposed, for example, to extremes of temperature, to excessive dust, moisture, or vibration, to flammable gases, to corrosive or explosive atmospheres, • electro medical applications with physical connections to the patient. The following requirements are not covered by this document: • functional safety of equipment; • functional reliability of equipment; • communication facilities with remote supply using hazardous voltage; • protection of equipment connected to ICT networks from functional damage. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. NOTE Lists of other related documents can be found in Annex A and in the Bibliography.

NOTE Years of practical experience by world-wide network operators have found ringing and other operating voltages to be electrically safe. Records of accident statistics indicate that electrical injuries are not caused by operating voltages.
