The old Safety GB Standards GB 8898-2011 (AV) and GB 4943.1-2011 (ITE) are replaced by the new GB 4943.1-2022 standard. The new standard is harmonized with the IEC 62368-1:2018 (3rd Edition) and applies to Audio/Video (AV) and Information Technology Equipment (ITE). The new standard will be implemented on August 1, 2023.
