This document specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for general lighting purposes. For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to "the relevant lamp data sheet". For some lamps, these data sheets are contained in this document. For other lamps, falling under the scope of this document, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp manufacturer or responsible vendor. The requirements of this document relate only to type testing. The requirements and tolerances specified in this document correspond to testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample consists of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and being as close to the production centre point values as possible. It can be expected that with the tolerances given in this document, the product manufactured in accordance with the type test sample will comply with this document for the majority of production. Due to the production spread however, it is inevitable that there will sometimes be products outside the specified tolerances. For guidance on sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see ISO 2859-10.

This part of IEC 60350 defines methods for measuring the performance of electric hobs for
household use.
Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or designed to be placed on a work
surface. The hob can also be a part of a cooking range.
This document does not apply to portable appliances for cooking, grilling and similar functions
(see IEC 61817).
This document defines the main performance characteristics of hobs which are of interest to
the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics.
This document does not specify a classification or ranking for performance.
NOTE 1 Some of the tests which are specified in this document are not considered to be reproducible since the
results can vary between laboratories. They are therefore intended for comparative testing purposes only.

This European Standard applies to new three-phase and single-phase power transformers with a highest voltage for equipment exceeding 36 kV and a rated power equal or higher than 5 kVA, or a rated power equal to or higher than 40 MVA regardless of the highest voltage for equipment.
The scope of this European Standard is the following:
-   Defining the appropriate energy efficiency criteria;
-   Setting of benchmark minimum efficiency levels for new transformers based on an assessment of the energy efficiency of the European transformer population installed in the last 10 years;
-   Proposing higher minimum efficiency levels for improving the energy efficiency of new transformers;
-   Providing guidance for consideration of Total Cost of Ownership.
This European Standard provides also a form for efficiency data collection to inform future efficiency benchmark levels.
NOTE 1   This standard covers the transformers under the EU Regulation N. 548/2014 and gives additional specific indications for single phase transformers, auto transformers, multi winding transformers and for transformers with OD and OF cooling systems.
Transformers considered to be out of the scope of this document are the following:
-   instrument transformers, specifically designed to supply measuring instruments, meters, relays and other similar apparatus,
-   transformers with low-voltage windings specifically designed for use with rectifiers to provide a DC supply,
-   transformers specifically designed to be directly connected to a furnace,
-   transformers specifically designed for offshore applications and floating offshore applications,
-   transformers specially designed for emergency installations,
-   transformers and auto-transformers specifically designed for railway feeding systems,
-   earthing or grounding transformers, this is, three-phase transformers intended to provide a neutral point for system grounding purposes,
-   traction transformers mounted on rolling stock, this is, transformers connected to an AC or DC contact line, directly or through a converter, used in fixed installations of railway applications,

For dry type large power transformers Minimum PEI values have been published in European Regulation and these values are included in Annex A.
NOTE 2   To retain consistency, the same list of exclusions in the EU Regulation N. 548/2014, has also been reproduced here. Within the above EU exclusion list, some had been excluded simply because no PEI data was available to CENELEC at the time on which to base appropriate PEI levels. Consequently, as such information becomes available in the future, it may be possible to derive suitable PEI Levels. Accordingly these particular categories are listed in Clause 6 as suitable for future consideration.
