BS EN 60950‑22 is part of an international standard that focuses on the safety of information technology equipment.
BS EN 60950‑22 applies to information technology equipment intended to be installed in an outdoor location. It specifies the requirements for outdoor equipment where relevant, to the outdoor enclosures, that are suitable for direct installation in the field.
BS EN 60950‑22 covers some examples of additional requirements, as each installation may have particular requirements. It also applies to the housing information technology equipment to be installed in an outdoor location.
