EN 61058-1:2002

Switches for appliances - Part 1: General requirements

Applies to switches for appliances actuated by hand, by foot or by other human activity for use in, on or with appliances and other equipment for household and similar purposes, with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 63 A. Also covers the indirect actuation of the switch when the function of the actuating member is provided by a part of an appliance or equipment. Replaces EN 60328 (1972).

new edition of EN 61058-1, specifically for
- pollution degree,
- rated impulse withstand voltage,
- type and/or connection of switch.
9.1.2 and 9.1.3:
Compliance shall be checked if relevant.
14.2:
Compliance shall be checked for numeral 5 and 6 if relevant.
14.4:
No compliance checks are necessary.
