37 The numbering system for European clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes that are additional
38 to those in the IEC standard are prefixed with the letter “Z”.
39 This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CENELEC by the European
40 Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA State subsequently approves these requests for its Member
41 States.
42 For the relationship with EU legislation, see informative Annexes ZZA, ZZB and ZZC, which are an integral part
