2026 ETICS OSM-EE (Operational Staff Meeting for Electrical Equipment) meeting

Held on 6–7 May in Warsaw, the meeting was filled with technical discussions and valuable exchanges of experience between our certification body members.

Over the two days, we covered a wide range of important topics, including:
✔️ Liaison items with CLC/TC 108X, including temperature limits, impact testing, and VDRs in primary circuits.
✔️ Clarification of routine tests for products with integrated lasers following a question from OSM FIP.
✔️ Review of withdrawn standards and proposals for deletion within the ENEC framework.
✔️ Several technical questions under EN 62368-1, including moisture protection, touch current evaluation, VDR configurations, fuse ratings, and safety aspects related to wireless earbuds with button cells.
✔️ Broader safety topics such as ventilation for NiMH batteries, solid insulation thickness, and the potential impact of IEC 60384-14:2023 on product certification.

A special thank you to Kris de Potter for stepping in as replacement Chair and leading the meeting. We would also like to warmly thank CB Association of Polish Electricians – Quality Testing Office (SEP – BBJ) for the excellent organisation and hospitality. And thank you to all the participants for their contributions!

Looking forward to continuing these discussions at the next OSM EE meeting in 2027.
