_____________
INTRODUCTION TO THE AMENDMENT
The first edition of IEC 62366 was published in 2007. This amendment is intended to add
urgently needed requirements to deal with legacy devices for which the user interface design
is of unknown provenance. Work is continuing in parallel to develop the second edition of
IEC 62366.
FOREWORD
Add the following note at the end of the Foreword:
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC or
ISO publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for
conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be
adopted for mandatory implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.

INTRODUCTION
Add after the last paragraph of the introduction the following paragraph:
