Important Note i-Spec should be looked on as a guide to help you find your way around IEC 60950, not as a replacement to the
standard. The standard includes requirements not mentioned here. In many situations i-Spec refers to detailed information in the standard. We strongly recommend that i-Spec is used in conjunction with
the standard, which can be purchased at the IEC Web Store.We believe that i-Spec will assist you to understand and implement the standard's requirements more efficiently and effectively than using the standard alone.
