Endorsement notice
The text of amendment 1:2005 to the International Standard IEC 60065:2001 was approved by
CENELEC as an amendment to the European Standard with agreed common modifications as
given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
5.1 i) in EN 60065:2002
Replace the note by:
NOTE For RATED POWER CONSUMPTION measurements of TVs reference is made to EN 62087. Measurements
are done in the ON (play) operating mode.

5.4.1
Add the following indent:
za) A warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
6.1 in EN 60065:2002
Replace the subclause by:
6.1  Ionizing radiation
Equipment that might produce ionizing radiation is checked by measuring the amount of radiation.
The amount of radiation is determined by means of a radiation monitor of the ionizing chamber
type with an effective area of 1 000 mm or by measuring equipment of other types giving
equivalent results.
Measurements are made with the equipment on test operating at the most unfavourable supply
voltage (see 4.2) and with operator controls and service controls adjusted so as to give maximum
radiation whilst maintaining the equipment operative for normal use.
Internal preset controls not intended to be adjusted during the lifetime of the equipment are not
considered to be service controls.
At any point 100 mm from the surface of the operator access area, the dose-rate shall not exceed
1 µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) (see Note). Account shall be taken of the background level.
NOTE These values appear in Directive 96/29/Euratom.

Bibliography in EN 60065:2002
Replace the paragraph related to prEN 50332-2 by:

EN 50332-2:2003, Sound system equipment: Headphones and earphones associated with
portable audio equipment - Maximum sound pressure level measurement methodology and limit
considerations - Part 2: Matching of sets with headphones if either or both are offered separately

Bibliography in IEC 60065:2001/A1:2005

Annex ZB
(normative)
Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over
a long period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions. If it affects harmonization, it
forms part of the European Standard.
For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.
Add the following special national conditions:
Clause Special national condition
All subclauses given below are subclauses of IEC 62151 (ref. corrigenda 1 and
Annex B
2 to IEC 62151).
Subclause 4.1.1 (corrigendum 2):
Add after the first paragraph:
NOTE  In Finland, Norway and Sweden, CLASS I equipment which is intended for connection
to the building installation via a non-industrial plug or a non-industrial appliance coupler, or both
and in addition is intended for connection to other equipment 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, has a marking stating that the equipment must be connected
to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
The marking text in the applicable countries shall be as follows:
In Finland: “Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun
pistorasiaan”
In Norway: “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt”
In Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag"
Subclause 4.1.4 (corrrigendum 1)
Add at the end of the subclause:
NOTE  In Norway, for requirements see 4.1.1, note and 5.3.1, note 1.
Subclause 4.2.1.2 (corrigendum 1)
Add at the end of the subclause:
NOTE 3  In Norway, for requirements see 5.3.1, note 1.
Subclause 4.2.1.3 (corrigendum 2)
Add at the end of the subclause:
NOTE  In Norway, for requirements see 4.1.1, note and 5.3.1, note 1.
Subclause 4.2.1.4 (corrigendum 1)
Number the existing note as NOTE 1 and add at the end of the subclause the
following NOTE 2:
NOTE 2  In Norway, for requirements see 4.1.1, note and 5.3.1, note 1.
Subclause 5.3.1 (corrigendum 1)
Add after the first test specifications paragraph:
NOTE 1  In Finland, Norway and Sweden, there are additional requirements for the insulation.
Renumber the existing note as NOTE 2.

- 11 - EN 60065:2002/A1:2006
Clause Special national condition
Annex B For additional requirements for the insulation in Finland, Norway and Sweden
(continued)
in NOTE 1 the following text is added between the first and the second
paragraph (this text is identical to the corresponding EN 60950-1:2001):
NOTE 1  In Finland, Norway and Sweden, if this insulation is solid, including insulation
forming part of a component, it shall at least consist of either
• two layers of thin sheet material, each of which shall pass the electric strength test below,
or
• one layer having a distance through insulation of at least 0,4 mm, which shall pass the
electric strength test below
If this insulation forms part of a semiconductor component (e.g. an optocoupler), there is no
distance through insulation requirement for the insulation consisting of an insulating compound
completely filling the casing, so that CLEARANCES and CREEPAGE DISTANCES do not exist,
if the component passes the electric strength test in the accordance with the compliance clause
below and in addition:
• passes the test and inspection criteria of 13.6 with an electric strength test of 10.3 using
the test voltage of 1,5 kV multiplied by 1,6, and
• is subject to routine testing for electric strength during manufacturing, using a test voltage
of 1,5 kV (for performance of the test see N.2.1).
It is permitted to bridge this insulation with a capacitor complying with EN 132400:1994,
subclass Y2.
A capacitor classified Y3 according to EN 132400:1994, may bridge this insulation under the
following conditions:
• the insulation requirements are satisfied by having a capacitor classified Y3 as defined by
EN 132400, which in addition to the Y3 testing, is tested with an impulse test of 2,5 kV
defined in IEC 62151, Subclause 6.2.1;
• the additional testing shall be performed on all the test specimens as described in
EN 132400;
• the impulse test of 2,5 kV is to be performed before the endurance test in EN 132400 in the
sequence of tests as described in EN 132400.
Subclause 5.3.2 (corrigendum 1)
Add after the fourth dash:
NOTE  In Finland, Norway and Sweden, exclusions are applicable for equipment which is
intended for connection to the building installation wiring using screw terminals or other reliable
means, and for equipment which is intended for connection to the building installation wiring via
an industrial plug and socket -outlet or an appliance coupler, or both, complying with EN 60309
or with a comparable national standard.
