Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60669-2-1:2002, prepared by SC 23B, Plugs,
socket-outlets and switches, of IEC TC 23, Electrical accessories, together with the common
modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 23B, Switches for household
and similar fixed electrical installations, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 60669-2-1 on 2004-07-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60669-2-1:2000 + A2:2001 + IS1:2004.
This part 2-1 of EN 60669 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60669-1:1999. It lists the changes
necessary to convert that standard into a specific standard for electronic switches.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-07-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-07-01
This European Standard was prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports the essential requirements
of Directive 89/336/EEC.
Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC have been added by CENELEC.

Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even
over a long period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE  If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the European Standard.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.

Clause Special national condition
101.1.1.2 Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland
Electronic switches designed without an associated incorporated protection are
loaded for one hour with the conventional tripping current of the associated
protection of the lighting circuit (10 A for fuses and 16 A for CB's).
102.1 United Kingdom
Fuses according to BS 646 and BS 1362 are deemed to satisfy this requirement.
13.103 Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom
Flexible cables complying with electrical strength test only are not allowed for
external use.

Annex ZC
(informative)
A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being
outside the competence of the CENELEC national member.

This European Standard falls under Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.

NOTE (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2:2002, 2.17)  Where standards fall under EC Directives, it is the view of the
Commission of the European Communities (OJ No C 59, 1982-03-09) that the effect of the decision of the Court of
Justice in case 815/79 Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980, p. 3583) is that compliance with A-
deviations is no longer mandatory and that the free movement of products complying with such a standard should not
be restricted except under the safeguard procedure provided for in the relevant Directive.

A-deviations in an EFTA-country are valid instead of the relevant provisions of the European
Standard in that country until they have been removed.

Clause Deviation
13.103 Denmark
(Stærkstømbekendtgørelsen- Elektriske Installationer 2001, § 521.7.4)
The insulation of external flexible cable shall comply with or be at least electrically
and mechanically equivalent to that of flexible cables according to HD 21 or HD 22.
Finland
(Electrical Safety Act 410/1996, Degree of Ministry of Trade and Industry
No. 1193/99, paragraph 4 Publication S10-2002 of the Finnish Safety Technology
Authority, Finnish wiring rules SFS 6000-5-52 (HD 384.5.52), Clause 521,
Table 52F)
The insulation of external flexible cable shall comply with or be at least electrically
and mechanically equivalent to that of flexible cables according to HD 21 or HD 22.
Norway
(DSB: FEL 1998 §28 and §10, NEK 400:2002 Clauses 520.1 and 521.1 and
Table 52A)
Cables with basic insulation are not accepted as wiring external to the switch. The
insulation of external flexible cable shall comply with or be at least electrically and
mechanical equivalent to that of flexible cables according to HD 21 or HD 22.
Cables complying with the electric strength test only are regarded as internal cables
and are accepted to be installed in enclosures, conduits, ducting and trunking
systems and the like.
Sweden
(ELSÄK-FS: 1999:5, Clauses 520.1 and 521.1 and Table 52-1)
Cables with basic insulation are not accepted as wiring external to the switch. The
insulation of external flexible cable shall comply with or be at least electrically and
mechanical equivalent to that of flexible cables according to HD 21 or HD 22.
Cables complying with the electric strength test only are regarded as internal cables
and are accepted to be installed in enclosures, conduits, ducting and trunking
