already complies with EN 61058-1:1992 + A1:1993.
Clause 8:
Marking and documentation according to EN 61058-1:1992 + A1:1993 shall be aligned with the
new edition of EN 61058-1, specifically for
- pollution degree,
- rated impulse withstand voltage,
- type and/or connection of switch.
9.1.2 and 9.1.3:
Compliance shall be checked if relevant.
14.2:
Compliance shall be checked for numeral 5 and 6 if relevant.
14.4:
