International. Extron is among a select group of professional audio/video companies that have passed UL DAP data acceptance program accreditations for the new UL 62368-1 standard. The new standard covers a wide range of products.
It applies to all information technology equipment and audio and video products with a rating below 600 volts, as well as their components and subassemblies. Manufacturers under the DAP are advised to be trained and certified for the new standard.
Extron has successfully completed all necessary training and has passed the UL DAP audit for UL 62368-1. With the addition of the new standard, Extron compliance laboratories are now accredited to six standards under UL's DAP.
"Through close collaboration with UL, Extron has been able to ensure that it remains at the forefront of product safety regulation. The introduction of the new UL 62368-1 standard (audio/video equipment, information and communication technology - Part 1: Safety Requirements) is an important milestone in our industry, as it is a Risk-Based Safety Engineering, HBSE, standard rather than a traditional prescriptive standard, such as UL 60950-1 or UL 6500", said Homi Ahmadi, Director of Compliance Engineering for Extron.
Extron's state-of-the-art compliance labs enable engineers and technicians to perform comprehensive product testing against a wide range of international compliance codes and government standards.
Extron employs a complete and objective testing methodology, from planning to execution and analysis. Its in-house laboratories allow for faster engineering cycles and guarantee the quality for which the company is known.
