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 StandardRegion/ApplicationHVC AvailabilityNotes
IEC 60384-14Global (safety-critical capacitors)✅ StandardX1/Y1/Y2 class safety caps
UL 94 V-0North America (flammability)✅ AvailableSelf-extinguishing epoxy options
EN 60664Europe (insulation coordination)✅ CompliantCreepage/clearance per pollution degree
CSA C22.2Canada (product safety)✅ AvailableParallel to UL requirements
CCCChina (compulsory certification)✅ AvailableFor domestic Chinese market sales
AEC-Q200Automotive (qualitative)⚠️ Case-by-caseNot 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.
