This document (EN 61008-1:2012/A1:2014) consists of the text of IEC 61008-1:2010/A1:2012 prepared by
SC 23E "Circuit-breakers and similar equipment for household use" of IEC/TC 23 "Electrical accessories",
together with the common modifications prepared by CLC/TC 23E "Circuit breakers and similar devices for
household and similar applications".
The following dates are fixed:
– latest date by which this document has to be implemented at (dop) 2015-08-04
national level by publication of an identical national standard or
by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this (dow) 2017-08-04
document have to be withdrawn
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in
IEC 61008-1:2010/A1:2012 are prefixed “Z”.
