8.2.4.1 Test procedure
Add, after the second paragraph, the following new text:
June 2009
For arrangement b), circuits that contain transient suppression components connected

between the circuit and the earthed parts, a special test sample without these components

shall be permitted for the type test.

Page 27
9.2 Dielectric strength test
Add, after the last paragraph, the following new text:

In the case of equipment that employs circuits that contain transient suppression components
connected between the circuit and the earthed parts, the equipment need not be subjected to
routine dielectric strength tests, if intended for use only with a galvanically isolated circuit,
and shall be marked “X” to indicate this specific condition of use in accordance with the
“specific conditions of use” marking requirements of IEC 60079-0.
