In general, p equals 8 000 for controls for EN 60335-1 applications.

The total time is divided into four equal periods, each of them being followed by a period of
48 h during which the control is subjected to a humidity treatment as specified in 12.2. After
the final humidity treatment, the insulation shall withstand an electric strength test as
specified in Clause 13, the test voltage for the electric strength being, however, reduced to
50 % of the values specified in the table of that clause.
Failure of only one of the six samples during the first of the four periods of the test is
ignored.
If one of the six samples fails during the second, third or fourth period of the test, the
remaining five samples are subjected to an additional fifth period of passing current and
humidity treatment, followed by an electric strength and insulation resistance test as
specified before.
Failure of any of the remaining five controls will entail a rejection.
The controls are then subjected to the test of 17.8, but only for half the number of cycles
specified in that subclause. All controls shall then withstand an electric strength test as
specified before.
EXAMPLES Examples of cases where there may be doubt with regard to the classification of the insulating
system of a winding are those cases where well-known insulating materials are used in an unconventional way,
where combinations of materials of different temperature classes are used at a temperature higher than that
allowed for the lowest class used or where materials are used for which no sufficient experience is available, as
may be the case for integral core insulation.
If it is desired to establish that the insulation system falls within the temperature class
claimed by the manufacturer, the winding temperature shall be equal to the temperature
limit for the class of insulation claimed, increased by the temperature increase chosen from
Table Z1.
The temperature increase chosen from Table Z1 should be agreed with the manufacturer.

(informative)
A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the
competence of the CEN-CENELEC national member.
This European Standard falls under Directives LVD (2006/95/EC), RTTED (1999/5/EC) and
EMC (2004/108/EC).
NOTE (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2:2011, 2.17)  Where standards fall under EU Directives, it is the view of the Commission of
the European Communities (OJ No C 59, 1982-03-09) that the effect of the decision of the Court of Justice in case 815/79
Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980, p. 3583) is that compliance with A-deviations is no longer mandatory and that
the free movement of products complying with such a standard should not be restricted except under the safeguard procedure
provided for in the relevant Directive.
A-deviations in an EFTA-country are valid instead of the relevant provisions of the European Standard in
that country until they have been removed.
Clause Deviation
11.1.2 Sweden (Ordinance 1991:1290)
Mercury is not allowed in switches and controls, such as level switches, thermostats and
relays.
11.1.3 United Kingdom (Statutory Instrument 1768:1994)
Add to the requirement:
These regulations apply to all plugs for domestic use at a voltage of not less than 200 V and
in general allow only plugs to BS 1363 to be fitted.
Annex ZD

EMC immunity for controls
ZD.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements – Immunity
The tests of Annex ZD apply to operating controls of Type 1 action intended to be used as “free
standing controls, independently mounted and/or in-line cord controls” for EMC immunity instead of
Clause H.26. See Figure ZD.1.
Annex ZD may be made applicable to incorporated and/or integrated controls if so requested by their
manufacturer.
