This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-10-01. 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 Central Secretariat 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 Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,

Foreword
The text of document 22E/101/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 61204-7, prepared by SC 22E, Stabilized
power supplies, of IEC TC 22, Power electronic systems and equipment, was submitted to the
IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61204-7 on 2006-10-01.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2007-07-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2009-10-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
This standard does not follow the rules for structuring European Standards as given in Part 3 of the
CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations because of the varied requirements which can apply to power
supplies. It assumes that all power supplies are required to meet either EN 60950:2000
(IEC 60950:1999, mod.) and/or EN 60950-1:2001 (IEC 60950-1:2001, mod.). In addition power
supplies may also have to meet the requirements of other standards dependent on the application. To
satisfy this need it was decided that all power supplies shall meet EN 60950:2000 and/or
EN 60950-1:2001 as described in the main body of this standard. The differences between these
requirements and those of other standards can then be optionally applied by applying any or all of the
appropriate annexes. This was done to avoid confusion.
The annexes of this standard are clearly described in 1.1.1.
EN 61204 (IEC 61024) consists of the following parts, under the general title Low voltage power
supplies, DC output:
Part 1: Reserved for future use.
1)
Part 2: Performance characteristics1
Part 3: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
1)
Part 4: Tests other than EMC
Part 5: Reserved for future use.
Part 6: Requirements for low-voltage power supplies of assessed performance
Part 7: Safety requirements
This standard should be read in conjunction with EN 60950:2000 and/or EN 60950-1:2001.
It makes reference to the standard EN 60950:2000 and/or EN 60950-1:2001 in the form of “clause
number/RD”. In this context, “RD” means “Reference Document” i.e. EN 60950:2000 and/or
EN 60950-1:2001. Unless otherwise specified, RD means that both documents apply. However, it is
only necessary to apply one or other of these standards. Wherever the word equipment occurs in this
reference document, this means POWER SUPPLY. The annexes of EN 60950:2000 and/or
EN 60950-1:2001 are also referred to by means of "RD" where these are specific references,
otherwise these annexes apply as detailed in the clauses of these standards referred to in this
standard.

(normative)
Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a
long period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.
NOTE  If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the European Standard / Harmonization Document.
For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.
Clause Special national condition
2.9.5 Denmark
When using this method of protection it is allowed that 230 V socket-outlet is used either
with or without earth according to The Danish Heavy Current Regulation part 107-2-D1.
• On transportable inverters, portable socket-outlets according to e.g. standard sheets
DK 1-3a, DKA 1-3a or DKA 1-4a shall be used.
• On inverters for fixed installation it is allowed to use socket-outlets for fixed
installation, according to e.g. standard sheets DK 1-1a (built together with a switch) or
DK 1-1b.
If there is no reinforced insulation between the SELV circuit and the 230 V side, it shall be
described which precautions have been taken as an alternative to reach the same level of
safety. It can for example be the following:
• The inverter’s metal enclosure has been connected to minus on the SELV side by the
manufacturer. The inverter is in this case only allowed with a 230 V socket-outlet for
class II appliances (The Danish Heavy Current Regulation part 107-2-D1, standard
sheet DKA 1-4a).
This method of protection gives equipotential bonding between exposed conductive
parts. When using socket-outlet for class II equipment it is also prevented that a class
I appliance can be connected, without connection between protective earth and the
enclosure of the appliance (e.g. an appliance with Schuko plug).

It must appear from the accompanying instructions that it is prohibited and can be
connected with risk of electric shock to connect an appliance that is not double
insulated by for instance using an illegal extension cord or an illegal supply cord on a
class I appliance.
It shall be ensured that the inverter can withstand the influences and external conditions it
may be exposed to. Since no safety standard exists, which specifically covers these
products and their special use, a risk assessment must be made regarding electrical,
thermal and mechanical safety of the product.
