IEC 62368-1 Compliance Beyond the Checklist

IEC 62368-1 applies to audio and video equipment, information technology equipment, and communication technology equipment — including consumer electronics, IoT devices, power supplies, and related accessories. If your product transmits, processes, or displays audio, video, or data and is powered by mains or a battery above certain thresholds, IEC 62368-1 is likely a required standard for CE marking in the EU and market access in many other jurisdictions. Hardware Compliance's AI agents analyze your specific product specs to confirm applicability and surface every relevant clause.

Traditional compliance consultants bill by the hour and take months to deliver research, documentation, and lab referrals. Hardware Compliance's AI agents complete the same regulatory research and documentation drafting in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost. Every AI-generated output also goes through expert review and sign-off by industry professionals before lab submission, so you get AI speed without sacrificing human accountability.

Hardware Compliance replaces months of traditional compliance consulting with a workflow that takes weeks. The AI agents handle requirement research and documentation drafting rapidly, so your team spends less time waiting and more time moving through the lab testing and certification process. Actual lab testing timelines depend on the lab and your product's complexity, but getting to lab-ready submission happens significantly faster than the traditional consulting approach.

Hardware Compliance supports multi-market compliance and maps requirements across the US, EU, UK, and other jurisdictions simultaneously. IEC 62368-1 is adopted in both the EU (as EN IEC 62368-1 for CE marking) and by UL in the US. The platform identifies the applicable version and jurisdiction-specific requirements for your target markets in a single workflow, so you are not running parallel compliance processes.

IEC 62368-1 compliance typically requires a technical construction file, a risk assessment and hazard analysis following the standard's energy-based safety model, product-specific test plans, test reports from an accredited lab, and a declaration of conformity for CE marking purposes. Hardware Compliance's AI auto-generates technical files, hazard analyses, and test plans, and matches you with the right accredited lab to produce the required test reports — covering the full documentation workflow from start to lab submission.
