1 Scope
Replace the first paragraph by the following new text:
This International Standard applies to sound signalling devices with integral enclosures or
to sound signalling devices intended to be fitted into or supplied with enclosures according
to IEC 60670 intended for household and similar purposes with rated voltages not exceeding
250 V a.c. or 250 V d.c. and with rated power inputs not exceeding 100 VA. In these sound
signalling devices an indicating light having a rated input power not exceeding 10 VA may
also be incorporated.

3 Definitions
Replace, on page 23, the existing definitions 3.35 and 3.37 by the following new definitions
(including the notes):
3.35
earth protected device
device in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only but
which includes an additional safety precaution such as exposed conductive parts connected
to the protective earthing conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation in such a way that
exposed conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a failure of the basic insulation
NOTE This provision includes a protective conductor in the supply cable.

62080 Amend. 1 © IEC:2008 – 3 –
3.37
installation protected device
device in which the protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only,
but in which additional safety precautions are provided during the installation according to the
installation rules
NOTE This definition is in accordance with 7.2.3 of IEC 61140.

7 Marking
Replace, on page 31, the existing subclause 7.3 by the following new subclause:
7.3 When symbols are used, they shall be as follows:
Ampere . A
Volt . V
Volt-ampere, watt .VA; W
Alternating current (no. 5032 of IEC 60417) . ~
Hertz . Hz
Hours .h
Minutes . min
Seconds .s
Direct current (no. 5031 of IEC 60417)……………………………………………………………
Neutral . N

Protective earth (no. 5019 of IEC 60417) …………………………………………………………
Degree of protection according to IEC 60529 .IPXX
Ambient temperature limits if outside the range from 0 °C to 35 °C. . Y T Z
If a symbol for nature of supply is used, it shall be placed next to the marking for rated
voltage.
NOTE 1 The letter "X" should be replaced by the relevant number. An additional letter can be used according to
IEC 60529.
NOTE 2 The letter "Y" before the "T" is replaced by the lowest ambient temperature. The letter "Z" after the "T" is
replaced by the highest ambient temperature.
Examples:
–10 T 55: means from –10 °C up to +55 °C
–10 T 35: means from –10 °C up to +35 °C
10 T 55: means from +10 °C up to +55 °C
0 T 55: means from 0 °C up to +55 °C

8 Protection against electric shock
Replace, on page 35, the text of the eighth paragraph by the following new paragraph:
In addition, openings in insulating material or unearthed conductive parts are tested by
applying the test pin shown in Figure 11 without appreciable force in every possible position.

10 Normal operation
Replace the last paragraph of this Clause by the following:
After the test, the device shall show no damage in the sense of this standard and shall
continue to function correctly.

11 Temperature rise
Replace, on page 49, the existing text of subclause 11.6 by the following:
11.6 Plug-in devices shall be inserted into the relevant socket-outlet in accordance with the
relevant national standard.
Replace, on page 51, the first paragraph of subclause 11.8 by the following:
11.8 The devices are operated under normal use as specified in clause 10 but while
maintaining the ON/OFF ratio as specified by the manufacturer until steady state conditions
are established for continuously rated and intermittent type D devices and until completion of
the normal use duty cycles for other devices.

Page 51
Subclause 11.9
Add, after the existing text of subclause 11.9, before Table 3, the following new paragraphs:
Heat resisting sleeves shall be so designed that they are reliably retained in position when the
device has been mounted. Insulating sleeves shall have adequate mechanical, electrical and
thermal strength. The heat resisting sleeve shall be resistant to a temperature of 120 °C or
withstand the following test:
a) Three test specimens of the sleeve, about 15 cm in length, are subjected to humidity test
of 13.4 and subsequently to the insulating resistance and electric strength tests according
to clause 14. A suitable un-insulated copper conductor or metal rod is passed through the
specimens, and the outside is covered by a metal foil in such a way that no flashover at
the ends of the sample can occur. The measurement of the insulation resistance and the
electrical strength test is made between the copper conductors/metal rod and metal foil.
b) After the copper conductors/metal rod and metal foil have been removed, the specimens
are placed in a cabinet for 240 h at the temperature of 140 °C.
c) The specimens are allowed to cool to room temperature and are then prepared as
indicated under item a) above.

62080 Amend. 1 © IEC:2008 – 5 –
Measurement of the insulating resistance and electric strength is then made between the
copper conductors/metal rod and metal foil.
Compliance is checked by the insulation resistance values and test voltages specified in
Tables 5, 6, 7a, 7b and 8.
