This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2012-07-17. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 33/499/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 60358-1, prepared by IEC/TC 33, "Power
capacitors" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 60358-
1:2012.
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2013-04-17
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2015-07-17

standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes HD 597 S1:1992 (partially).
EN 60358-1:2012 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to HD 597 S1:1992:
– The standard has been split into different parts; Part 1 is the general rules and Parts 2, 3, 4 will be
specific to the PLC, filters and dividers applications.
– The routine and type test have been reviewed and are presented in Figure 2.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed
for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).

Endorsement notice
