4 General test conditions
4.3 Fault conditions
Replace the existing Note 2 by the following:
NOTE 2 Examination of the apparatus and all its circuit diagrams, excluding the internal circuit diagrams of
integrated circuits, generally shows the fault conditions that are likely to create a hazard and that need to be
applied. These are applied in sequence, in the order that is most convenient.
The examination of the apparatus and circuit diagrams indicate the operating conditions under which simulated
faults should be applied in order to produce the most unfavourable effects. In most cases, the effects of a
simulated fault are most unfavourable if the simulated fault is applied while the apparatus is in full operation.
However, for some parts, the most unfavourable effects may occur if the simulated fault is applied before switching
on the apparatus. It is also possible that the most unfavourable effects could occur when a simulated fault is
applied when the apparatus is in a STAND-BY condition.

accompanied by the symbol.


Add the following new note after the existing compliance statement:


NOTE In Finland, Norway and Sweden, CLASS I apparatus which is intended for connection to the building
installation wiring via a plug or an appliance coupler, or both, and in addition is intended for connection to other

apparatus or a network shall, if safety relies on connection to protective earth or if surge suppressors are

connected between the network TERMINALS and ACCESSIBLE parts, have a marking stating that the apparatus must
be connected to an earthed MAINS socket-outlet.
5.4 Instructions
Subclause 5.4.1
Add the following new notes after the existing text:
NOTE In Norway and Sweden, the screen of the coaxial cable of the television distribution system is normally not
earthed at the entrance of the building and there is normally no equipotential bonding system within the building.
Therefore the protective earthing of the building installation needs to be isolated from the screen of a coaxial cable
based television distribution system.
It is, however, acceptable to provide the insulation external to the apparatus by an adapter or an interconnection
cable with galvanic isolator, which may be provided by a retailer, for example.
The user manual shall then have the following or similar information in Norwegian and Swedish language
respectively, depending on in what country the apparatus is intended to be used:
“Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the MAINS connection or through
other apparatus with a connection to protective earthing – and to a television distribution system using coaxial
cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has
to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator,
see EN 60728-11)”.
In Norway, due to regulation for CATV-installations, and in Sweden, a galvanic isolator shall provide electrical
insulation below 5 MHz. The insulation shall withstand a dielectric strength of 1,5 kV r.m.s., 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1
min.
Translation to Norwegian (the Swedish text will also be accepted in Norway): “Apparater som er koplet til
beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet utstyr – og er tilkoplet et koaksialbasert kabel-TV nett,
kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av apparater til kabel-TV nett installeres en
galvanisk isolator mellom apparatet og kabel-TV nettet.”
Translation to Swedish: ”Apparater som är kopplade till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk főr brand. Főr att undvika detta

skall vid anslutning av apparaten till kabel-TV nät galvanisk isolator finnas mellan apparaten och kabel-TV nätet.”
6 Hazardous radiations
6.2 Laser radiation
Replace in the fifth paragraph the reference "IEC 60825-1, 3.32 b)" by "IEC 60825-1:2007,
3.37 b)".
Subclause 6.2.1
Replace in the second paragraph of item a) the reference "IEC 60825-1, 8.2" by "IEC 60825-
1:2007, 9.2".

determine whether…”:
For PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT, audio output TERMINALS are permitted to be ACCESSIBLE to
SKILLED PERSONS if the audio output voltage, when the apparatus is producing its NON-CLIPPED
OUTPUT POWER, is not greater than 120 V r.m.s.
9.1.6 Withdrawal of MAINS plug
Add the following new paragraph at the end of the subclause:
When conducting the measurement, the measurement is either made with or referred to an
instrument having an input impedance consisting of a resistance of 100 MΩ ± 5 MΩ in
parallel with an input capacitance of 25 pF or less.
9.2 Removal of protective covers
Add the following new paragraphs after the second paragraph:
This requirement applies also to internal parts of loudspeaker systems that become
ACCESSIBLE by the removal of a loudspeaker grille from the outside by the use of a tool, coin
or other object.
In such a case, the apparatus shall be marked according to 5.3 b).
Replace the existing compliance statement by the following:
Compliance is checked by inspection and by application of the tests of 9.1.1, except that the
measurements are made 2 s after removal of the cover or grille.
