IEC 60065 (ELECTRONICS- DOMESTIC ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIES)

Industry Outlook

International Standard 60065 includes specifications with respect to the electronic apparatus which is designed to operate through the mains from the supply apparatus, either through the use of batteries or remote power feeding, which are intended to be used for reception, generation, reproduction of audio and video, including other associated signals.

Considering that the “electronic apparatus” provided in the International Standard are specifically used in places of public assembly such as schools, theaters, places of worship and the workplace professional apparatus. Due to the increased use of electronic apparatus in distinct fields, from school to workplace, it can be concluded that for the safety of the final consumer, it is essential to ensure conformance with compliance requirements.

Even the statistical data indicates that it was over USD 1 trillion in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of more than 8% from 2021 to 2027. From the given data, it is clear that the usage of electronic apparatus is constantly increasing.

However, with the high usage of electronic apparatus, it is also essential to ensure that it must comply with the IEC 60065 standard to ensure the safety of consumers. Thus, earning high profit and sales.

A tested and certified product, does not only achieve global market access seamlessly, but also ensures competitive advantage, so, more customer acceptance and wider market access.

For a better understanding of why product testing is important and how it is beneficial for both, manufacturers and consumers, let’s move on to the next section.
