Ta standard velja za opremo za informacijsko tehnologijo z omrežnim napajanjem ali baterijskim napajanjem, vključno z električno poslovno opremo in z njo povezano opremo z OCENJEVALNO NAPETOSTJO, ki ne presega 600 V. Ta standard prav tako velja za takšne vrste opreme za informacijsko tehnologijo: - načrtovano za uporabo v telekomunikacijski opremi terminalov in opremi za telekomunikacijsko omrežno infrastrukturo, ne glede na vir napajanja; - načrtovano in namenjeno za neposredno povezavo ali uporabljeno kot infrastrukturno opremo v RAZDELITVENEM SISTEMU KABLOV, ne glede na vir napajanja; - načrtovano tako, da uporablja IZMENIČNO OMREŽNO NAPAJANJE kot medij za prenos informacij (glej klavzulo 6, opomba 4 in 7.1, opomba 4).   Ta standard prav tako velja za sestavne dele in podsklope, namenjene vključitvi v opremo za informacijsko tehnologijo. Ne pričakuje se, da so takšni sestavni deli in podsklopi v skladu z vsakim vidikom standarda, pod pogojem, da je celotna oprema za informacijsko tehnologijo, ki vsebuje takšne sestavne dele in podsklope, skladna.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2005-12-01. 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.

Foreword
The text of document 108/135A/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60950-1, prepared by IEC TC 108, Safety of
electronic equipment within the field of audio/video, information technology and communication
technology, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel.
This text, together with a draft amendment, prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 108,
Safety of electronic equipment within the fields of audio/video, information technology and communication
technology, and submitted to the formal vote, was approved by CENELEC as EN 60950-1 on 2005-12-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60950-1:2001 + corrigendum April 2004 + A11:2004.
EN 60950-1 includes the basic requirements for the safety of information technology equipment.
Additional parts of EN 60950-1 will cover specific safety requirements for information technology
equipment having limited applications or having special features as follows:
Part 21: Remote power feeding;
Part 22: Equipment installed outdoors;
Part 23: Large data storage equipment.
Except for notes, all text within a normative figure, or in a box under a normative table, is also normative.
Text with a superscript reference is linked to a particular item in the table. Other text in a box under a table
applies to the whole table.

to give additional information.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
− Requirements proper and normative annexes: roman type.
− Compliance statements and test specifications: italic type.
− Notes in the text and in tables: smaller roman type.
− Terms that are defined in 1.2: SMALL CAPITALS.
The following dates were fixed:
