What safety certifications should I consider when selecting HV capacitors?

Safety certification requirements depend heavily on target application and geographic market. HVC's products support the following certification frameworks:

Certification Standard	Region/Application	HVC Availability	Notes

|----------------------|--------------------|------------------|-------|

IEC 60384-14	Global (safety-critical capacitors)	✅ Standard	X1/Y1/Y2 class safety caps
UL 94 V-0	North America (flammability)	✅ Available	Self-extinguishing epoxy options
EN 60664	Europe (insulation coordination)	✅ Compliant	Creepage/clearance per pollution degree
CSA C22.2	Canada (product safety)	✅ Available	Parallel to UL requirements
CCC	China (compulsory certification)	✅ Available	For domestic Chinese market sales
AEC-Q200	Automotive (qualitative)	⚠️ Case-by-case	Not formally certified but tested to equivalent levels

Important: For medical devices (IEC 60601), aerospace (DO-160), or military (MIL-STD) applications, component-level certification may be insufficient — the final assembly must undergo system-level testing. HVC provides supporting test data packages to facilitate this system-level qualification process.

Always verify with your quality/regulatory team which certifications are contractually mandatory before specifying components.
