This amendment A11 modifies the European Standard EN 60065:2002; it was approved by CENELEC on
2008-07-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which
stipulate the conditions for giving this amendment 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 amendment 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, Bulgaria, 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, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
This amendment to the European Standard EN 60065:2002 was prepared by the Technical
Committee CENELEC TC 108X, Safety of electronic equipment within the fields of audio/video,
information technology and communication technology.
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by
CENELEC as amendment A11 to EN 60065:2002 on 2008-07-01.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the amendment has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-07-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the amendment have to be withdrawn (dow) 2010-07-01
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 60065 are prefixed
“Z”.

2 Definitions
2.2 Types of apparatus
Add after the definition 2.2.12 the following new definition:
2.2.Z1
PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM
small battery powered audio equipment:
• whose prime purpose is to listen to recorded or broadcasted sound; and
• that uses headphones or earphones that can be worn in or on or around the ears; and
• that allows the user to walk around
NOTE Examples are mini-disk or CD players, MP3 audio players or similar equipment.
5.4.1
Modify indent za) as follows:
za) For a PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM, a warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.

6.1 Replace the entire subclause in EN 60065:2002 and EN 60065:2002/A1:2006 by:
6.1 Ionizing radiation
Apparatus including a potential source of ionizing radiation shall be so constructed that personal
protection against ionizing radiation is provided under normal operating conditions and under fault
conditions.
Compliance is checked by measurement under the following conditions:
In addition to the normal operating conditions, all controls adjustable from the outside BY HAND, by
any object such as a tool or a coin, and those internal adjustments or pre-sets which are not locked in
a reliable manner, are adjusted so as to give maximum radiation whilst maintaining an intelligible
picture for 1 h, at the end of which the measurement is made.
NOTE 1 Soldered joints and paint lockings are examples of adequate locking.
The dose-rate is determined by means of a radiation monitor with an effective area of 10 cm², at any
point 10 cm from the outer surface of the apparatus.
Moreover, the measurement shall be made under fault conditions causing an increase of the
high-voltage, provided an intelligible picture is maintained for 1 h, at the end of which the
measurement is made.
The dose-rate shall not exceed 1µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) taking account of the background level.
th
NOTE 2 These values appear in Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996.

A picture is considered to be intelligible if the following conditions are met:
- a scanning amplitude of at least 70 % of the usable screen width;
- a minimum luminance of 50 cd/m² with locked blank raster provided by a test generator;
- a horizontal resolution corresponding to at least 1,5 MHz in the centre, with a similar vertical
degradation;
- not more than one flashover per 5 min.

Add the following new clause after Clause 20:
Z1 Resistance to candle flame ignition
A television set shall be so designed that the likelihood of ignition and the spread of fire caused by a
candle flame is reduced.
NOTE 1 An apparatus with a viewing screen is not regarded to be a television set if it is declared not to be so by the
manufacturer.
This requirement does not apply to the display screen of rear projection TV’s.
NOTE 2 This exemption has been allowed because this technology is falling out of use and it is expected that within a few
years it will no longer exist. This exemption will not be extended to other technologies.
NOTE 3 The frame around the screen is not exempted from the requirements.
Wood and WOOD-BASED MATERIAL with a thickness of at least 6 mm is considered to fulfil the V-1
requirement when applying CLC/TS 62441.
Compliance is checked according to CLC/TS 62441.
NOTE 4 The term vertical, as used in the first dash of clause 5.2 of CLC/TS 62441, does not mean a perfectly vertical
position. It should be interpreted as any surface that can be touched by the flame of a candle of 150 mm height and 20 mm
diameter while the candle is still touching the supporting surface. A typical candle used in the home is assumed to be 20 mm
diameter.
NOTE 5 It is expected that CLC/TS 62441 will in the future be replaced by a standard, at which time that standard will become
applicable, subject to a vote by National Committees at the time.
