Replace the term and definition (but not the note) with the following new term and definition:
(electrical) installation
assembly of electrical equipment to fulfil specific purposes
Note 1 to entry: The word "installation" is also used in this document to denote the process of installing a PECS. In
these cases, the word does not appear in italics.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-826:2022, 826-10-01, modified – the note to entry has been added.]

Replace the first paragraph with the following new paragraph:
If the PECS manufacturer bundles an external SPD with their product for the purpose of
overvoltage category reduction, this device shall have a monitoring circuit as required in
4.4.7.2.3 or 4.4.7.2.4 that enables the PECS to create an indication when the device is damaged
by an overvoltage. If the SPD is internal to a PECS, the test of 5.2.3.15 applies.
4.4.7.4.2 Clearances for reinforced insulation
Replace in the first paragraph, the first bullet point with the following new text:
• the next higher value of impulse withstand voltage in column 1 of Table 8;
