4 General test conditions
4.1.1 Replace the text of the note by:
NOTE For ROUTINE TEST, reference is made to EN 50514:2008.
6 Hazardous radiations
6.1 Replace the entire subclause by the following:
Apparatus including a potential source of ionizing radiation shall be so constructed
that personal protection against ionizing radiation is provided under normal operating
conditions and under fault conditions.
Compliance is checked by measurement under the following conditions:

In addition to the normal operating conditions, all controls adjustable from the outside
BY HAND, by any object such as a tool or a coin, and those internal adjustments or
pre-sets which are not locked in a reliable manner, are adjusted so as to give
maximum radiation whilst maintaining an intelligible picture for 1 h, at the end of which
the measurement is made.
– 5 – EN 60065:2014
NOTE 1  Soldered joints and paint lockings are examples of adequate locking.

The dose-rate is determined by means of a radiation monitor with an effective area of
10 cm , at any point 10 cm from the outer surface of the apparatus

Moreover, the measurement shall be made under fault conditions causing an increase
of the high-voltage, provided an intelligible picture is maintained for 1 h, at the end of
which the measurement is made.

The dose-rate shall not exceed 1 µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) taking account of the background
level.
NOTE 2  These values appear in Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996.

A picture is considered to be intelligible if the following conditions are met:
- a scanning amplitude of at least 70 % of the usable screen width;
- a minimum luminance of 50 cd/m² with locked blank raster provided by a test
generator;
- a horizontal resolution corresponding to at least 1,5 MHz in the centre, with a
similar vertical degradation;
- not more than one flashover per 5 min.
16 External flexible cords
16.1 Add the following note after the first paragraph:

NOTE Z1  The harmonized code designations corresponding to the IEC cord types are given in Annex ZD.
Z1 Protection against excessive sound pressure from personal music players
Z1 Add the following new clause after 20.3.3:
Z1 Protection against excessive sound pressure from personal music
players
Z1.1 General
This subclause specifies requirements for protection against excessive sound
pressure from personal music players that are closely coupled to the ear.
Requirements for earphones and headphones intended for use with personal music
players are also covered.
A personal music player is a portable equipment for personal use, that:
− is designed to allow the user to listen to recorded or broadcast sound or video; and
− uses a listening device, such as headphones or earphones that can be worn in or
on or around the ears; and
− is body worn (of a size suitable to be carried in a clothing pocket) and is intended
for the user to walk around while in use.
EXAMPLES CD players, MP3 audio players, mobile phones with MP3 type features, PDA’s or
similar equipment.
A personal music player shall comply with the requirements of this subclause.
NOTE 1 Protection against acoustic energy sources from telecom terminal equipment is referenced to
ITU-T Recommendation P.360.
The requirements in this subclause are valid for music or video mode only.
The requirements do not apply to:
− professional equipment;
NOTE 2 Professional equipment is equipment sold through special sales channels. All products sold
through normal electronics stores are considered not to be professional equipment.
− hearing aid equipment and other devices for assistive listening;
− the following types of analogue personal music players:
 long distance radio receiver (for example, a multiband radio receiver or a
world band radio receiver, an AM radio receiver) and
 cassette player/recorder;
NOTE 3 This exemption has been allowed because this technology is falling out of use and it is expected
that within a few years it will no longer exist. This exemption will not be extended to other technologies.
− player while connected to an external amplifier that does not allow the user to
walk around while in use.
For equipment clearly designed or intended for use by young children, the limits of
EN 71-1 apply.
Z1.2 Equipment requirements
No safety provision is required for equipment that complies with the following:
− equipment provided as a package (personal music player with its listening
device), where the acoustic output L is ≤ 85 dB(A) measured while playing the
Aeq,T
fixed “programme simulation noise” as described in EN 50332-1; and
− personal music player provided with an analogue electrical output socket for a
listening device, where the electrical output is ≤ 27 mV measured as described in
EN 50332-2, while playing the fixed “programme simulation noise” as described in
EN 50332-1.
NOTE 1  Wherever the term acoustic output is used in this subclause, the 30 s A-weighted equivalent
sound pressure level L is meant. See also Z1.5 and Annex ZE.
Aeq,T
All other equipment shall:
a) protect the user from unintentional acoustic outputs exceeding those mentioned
above; and
b) have a standard acoustic output level not exceeding those mentioned above, and
automatically return to an output level not exceeding those mentioned above when
the power is switched off; and
c) provide a means to actively inform the user of the increased sound pressure when
the equipment is operated with an acoustic output exceeding those mentioned
above. Any means used shall be acknowledged by the user before activating a
mode of operation which allows for an acoustic output exceeding those mentioned
above. The acknowledgement does not need to be repeated more than once every
20 h of cumulative listening time; and
NOTE 2 Examples of means include visual or audible signals. Action from the user is always required.
NOTE 3 The 20 h listening time is the accumulative listening time, independent how often and how long
the personal music player has been switched off.
d) have a warning as specified in Z1.3; and

– 7 – EN 60065:2014
e) not exceed the following:
1) equipment provided as a package (player with its listening device), the
acoustic output shall be ≤ 100 dB(A) measured while playing the fixed
“programme simulation noise” described in EN 50332-1; and
2) a personal music player provided with an analogue electrical output socket for
a listening device, the electrical output shall be ≤ 150 mV measured as
described in EN 50332-2, while playing the fixed “programme simulation
noise” described in EN 50332-1.
For music where the average sound pressure (long term L ) measured over the
Aeq,T
duration of the song is lower than the average produced by the programme simulation
noise, the warning does not need to be given as long as the average sound pressure
of the song does not exceed the basic limit of 85 dB(A). In this case, T becomes the
duration of the song.
NOTE 4 Classical music typically has an average sound pressure (long term L ) which is much lower
Aeq,T
than the average programme simulation noise. Therefore, if the player is capable to analyse the song and
compare it with the programme simulation noise, the warning does not need to be given as long as the
average sound pressure of the song is below the basic limit of 85 dB(A).
NOTE 5 For example, if the player is set with the programme simulation noise to 85 dB(A), but the
average music level of the song is only 65 dB(A), there is no need to give a warning or ask an
acknowledgement as long as the average sound level of the song is not above the basic limit of 85 dB(A).
Z1.3 Warning
The warning shall be placed on the equipment, or on the packaging, or in the
instruction manual and shall consist of the following:
− the symbol of Figure Z1 with a minimum height of 5 mm; and
− the following wording, or similar:
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long
periods.
Figure Z1 – Warning label (IEC 60417-6044)
Alternatively, the entire warning may be given through the equipment display during
use, when the user is asked to acknowledge activation of the higher level.
Z1.4 Requirements for listening devices (headphones, earphones, etc.)
Z1.4.1 Corded passive listening devices with analogue input
With 94 dB(A) sound pressure output L , the input voltage of the fixed “programme
Aeq,T
simulation noise” described in EN 50332-2 shall be ≥ 75 mV.

This requirement is applicable in any mode where the headphones can operate
including any available setting (for example built-in volume level control, an additional
sound feature like equalization, etc.).
NOTE The values of 94 dB(A) – 75 mV correspond with 85 dB(A) – 27 mV and 100 dB(A) – 150 mV.
Z1.4.2 Corded listening devices with digital input
With any playing device playing the fixed “programme simulation noise” described in
EN 50332-1, the acoustic output L of the listening device shall be ≤ 100 dB(A).
Aeq,T
This requirement is applicable in any mode where the headphones can operate,
including any available setting (for example built-in volume level control, additional
sound feature like equalization, etc.).
Z1.4.3 Cordless listening devices
In wireless mode:
− with any playing and transmitting device playing the fixed programme simulation
noise described in EN 50332-1; and
− respecting the wireless transmission standards, where an air interface standard
exists that specifies the equivalent acoustic level; and
− with volume and sound settings in the listening device (for example built-in volume
level control, additional sound feature like equalization, etc.) set to the
combination of positions that maximize the measured acoustic output for the
above-mentioned programme simulation noise,
the acoustic output L of the listening device shall be ≤ 100 dB(A).
Aeq,T
Z1.5 Measurement methods
Measurements shall be made in accordance with EN 50332-1 or EN 50332-2 as
applicable. Unless stated otherwise, the time interval T shall be 30 s.
NOTE Test method for cordless equipment provided without listening device should be defined.

To the end of the subclause the following is added:
CLASS I apparatus which is intended for connection to the building installation wiring
via a plug or an appliance coupler, or both and in addition is intended for connection
to other apparatus or a network shall, if safety relies on connection to protective earth
or if surge suppressors are connected between the network TERMINALS and
ACCESSIBLE parts, have a marking stating that the apparatus must be connected to an
earthed MAINS socket-outlet.
The marking text in the applicable countries shall be as follows:
In Denmark: “Apparatets stikprop skal tilsluttes en stikkontakt med jord, som giver forbindelse
til stikproppens jord.”
In Finland: "Laite on liitettävä suojakoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan"
In Norway: “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt”
In Sweden: “Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag”

Clause Special national condition

5.5.2
Add to the end of 5.5.2 (after the compliance statement) the following:
The screen of the coaxial cable of the television distribution system is normally
not earthed at the entrance of the building and there is normally no equipotential
bonding system within the building. Therefore the protective earthing of the
building installation need to be isolated from the screen of a coaxial cable based
television distribution system.
It is however accepted to provide the insulation external to the apparatus by an
adapter or an interconnection cable with galvanic isolator, which may be provided
by a retailer, for example.
The user manual shall then have the following or similar information in Norwegian
and Swedish language respectively, depending on in what country the apparatus
is intended to be used in:
“Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the building installation
through the MAINS connection or through other apparatus with a connection to
protective earthing – and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable,
may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a television
distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see
EN 60728-11)”
NOTE In Norway, due to regulation for installations of CATV-installations, and in Sweden, a
galvanic isolator shall provide electrical insulation below 5 MHz. The insulation shall withstand a
dielectric strength of 1,5 kV r.m.s., 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1 min.
Translation to Norwegian (the Swedish text will also be accepted in Norway):
“Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet
jordtilkoplet utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare.
For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres
en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og kabel-TV nettet.”
Translation to Swedish:
”Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk
főr brand.
Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät
galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.”

13.3.1
Add to the second paragraph the following:
Due to the IT power distribution system used, the a.c. MAINS supply voltage is
considered to be equal to the line-to-line voltage, and will remain 230 V in case of
a single earth fault.
Justification:
Based on a use in Norway of an IT power distribution system where the neutral is not
provided
