TTS GLOBALStandard & market guideIEC / ENTTS / Product testing
Where it applies
Applies to appliances, ICT/AV equipment, luminaires, power supplies, tools and other electrical products. Ratings, environment, users and critical components affect the standard and tests.
What the evidence needs to show
- Product classification and intended use come before standard selection
- Critical-component approvals, ratings and substitutions directly affect assessment
- Type testing works with construction review, instructions, labels and risk management
Build the evidence in this order
- Confirm category, ratings and markets
- Build model-difference and critical-component lists
- Review construction and define type tests
- Resolve findings and freeze the assessed configuration
Common misunderstandings
- An IEC report is not automatically accepted in every country; national differences or body acceptance may apply
- Changing a power supply, polymer or critical component can invalidate coverage
