Clause Special national condition
Foreword United Kingdom
Add an additional paragraph:
"Fireman’s switches which cover applications suited to light industrial units, retail
units and petrol station forecourts fall under the scope of EN 60947-3."
since the scope of EN 60669-1 only covers household and similar fixed electrical
installations.
13.108 France
The enclosure of the fireman’s switch and of the actuating handle could be of an
other colour than red if it is equipped with an red illuminated indicator according to
13.107.
The colours yellow, green and blue are not allowed (according to NF X 08-003-1).
13.108 Portugal
Fireman’s switches may have colours different from red for the enclosure and
different from black for the actuating handle, if they are equipped with a red
illuminated indicator, according to 13.107.
Annex ZC
(informative)
A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside
the competence of the CENELEC national member.
This European Standard falls under Directive 2006/95/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.
In the relevant CENELEC countries these A-deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the European
Standard/Harmonization Document until they have been removed.
