11 FOREWORD
12 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
13 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
14 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
15 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
16 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
17 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
18 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
19 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
20 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
21 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
22 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
23 interested IEC National Committees.
24 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
25 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
26 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
27 misinterpretation by any end user.
28 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
29 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
30 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
31 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bo dies provide conformity
32 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
33 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
34 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
35 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
36 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
37 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
38 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
39 Publications.
40 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
41 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
42 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
43 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
44 Amendment 1 to IEC 60947-4-2:2020 has been prepared by subcommittee 121A: Low-voltage
45 switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear and controlgear and
46 their assemblies for low voltage.
47 This amendment includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the current
48 edition:
49 - Requirement for starter intended to be used with high efficiency motors
50 - Requirements and tests for abnormal conditions equivalent to Annex DVE of the UL
51 version,
52 - Alignment to the EMC environments defined in IEC TR 63216 and more detailed
53 emission limit requirements,
54 - Reference to IEC TS 63058 for environmental information,
55 - Reference to IEC 63404 for the integration of radio communication

64 described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
65 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
66 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
67 specific document. At this date, the document will be
