THIS WEEK'S QUESTION - SEPTEMBER 2, 2026

Can I test my new product to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 if the power supply is only certified to IS 13252 (Part 1):2010? 

Answer from Vanessa Wen, Senior Manager, Global Market Access Services:

Generally, no. If the power supply is considered a critical component of the end product, it must meet the applicable requirements of IS/IEC 62368-1:2023.

A power supply that complies only with IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 will not be accepted in the Critical Component List for a product being registered to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023.

However, BIS allows the critical component and the end product to be processed in parallel under the applicable Parallel Testing Guidelines.
