Hi
I am looking at POL module for a small run project
I stumbled across the CUI simple 3 pin module:
https://www.cui.com/product/resource/vxo78-1000.pdf
It is UL, CSA and CE approved
Reference to a lot of standards:
_____________________________________________________
safety approvals UL 60950-1
EMI/EMC EN 55032, EN 55024
conducted emissions CISPR22/EN55022, class B (external circuit required,
see Figure 4-b)
radiated emissions CISPR22/EN55022, class B (external circuit required,
see Figure 4-b)
ESD IEC/EN61000-4-2, contact ± 4kV, class B
radiated immunity IEC/EN61000-4-3, 10V/m, class A
EFT/burst IEC/EN61000-4-4, ± 1kV, class B (external circuit required,
see Figure 4-a)
surge IEC/EN61000-4-5, line-line ± 1kV, class B (external circuit
required, see Figure 4-a)
conducted immunity IEC/EN61000-4-6, 3 Vr.m.s, class A

Ok. So it makes sense that it complies to for example EN 55032, which
deals with emission, because you want to be able to pass EMC when you
buy a POL module that you cannot modify in any way
Then there\'s a reference to UL 60950-1 which is a safety standard. This
is a non-isolated POL, so not much safety about that, besides it must
not catch fire in case of a short of the output or if 2 traces on the
PCB is shorted (single fault injection on PCB due to distances less than
the creepage requirements for ELV circuits)
Anything I am missing about the 60950 and the reason for complying to
that standard?
Looking further, this Torex module does not mention any standards:
https://www.torexsemi.com/file/xcl213/XCL213-XCL214.pdf
The Recom module is encapsulated, so is probably easier to approve,
since the potting makes the tests of shorts on the PCB void:
