given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
5.1 i) in EN 60065:2002

Replace the note by:

NOTE For RATED POWER CONSUMPTION measurements of TVs reference is made to EN 62087. Measurements
are done in the ON (play) operating mode.


5.4.1

Add the following indent:

za) A warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.


6.1 in EN 60065:2002

Replace the subclause by:

6.1  Ionizing radiation
Equipment that might produce ionizing radiation is checked by measuring the amount of radiation.
The amount of radiation is determined by means of a radiation monitor of the ionizing chamber
2
type with an effective area of 1 000 mm or by measuring equipment of other types giving
equivalent results.
Measurements are made with the equipment on test operating at the most unfavourable supply
voltage (see 4.2) and with operator controls and service controls adjusted so as to give maximum
radiation whilst maintaining the equipment operative for normal use.
Internal preset controls not intended to be adjusted during the lifetime of the equipment are not
considered to be service controls.
At any point 100 mm from the surface of the operator access area, the dose-rate shall not exceed
1 µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) (see Note). Account shall be taken of the background level.
NOTE These values appear in Directive 96/29/Euratom.

paragraph (this text is identical to the corresponding EN 60950-1:2001):
NOTE 1  In Finland, Norway and Sweden, if this insulation is solid, including insulation
forming part of a component, it shall at least consist of either
• two layers of thin sheet material, each of which shall pass the electric strength test below,
or
• one layer having a distance through insulation of at least 0,4 mm, which shall pass the
electric strength test below
If this insulation forms part of a semiconductor component (e.g. an optocoupler), there is no
distance through insulation requirement for the insulation consisting of an insulating compound
completely filling the casing, so that CLEARANCES and CREEPAGE DISTANCES do not exist,
if the component passes the electric strength test in the accordance with the compliance clause
below and in addition:
• passes the test and inspection criteria of 13.6 with an electric strength test of 10.3 using
the test voltage of 1,5 kV multiplied by 1,6, and
• is subject to routine testing for electric strength during manufacturing, using a test voltage
of 1,5 kV (for performance of the test see N.2.1).
It is permitted to bridge this insulation with a capacitor complying with EN 132400:1994,
subclass Y2.

be covered one at a time with a piece of card of 200 g/m density with dimensions not less
than each tested surface, covering all openings.
Openings on different surfaces on top of the apparatus (if any) are covered simultaneously by
separate pieces of card.
Openings on top of the apparatus, on a surface inclined at an angle greater than 30° and
smaller than 60° to the horizontal, from which an obstruction is free to slide, are excluded.
On the back and the sides of the apparatus, the card is attached to the upper edge and
allowed to hang freely.
NOTE There is no test for the bottom surface.

h) If the apparatus is provided with a CRT with protective film attached to the faceplate as
part of the safety implosion protection system in accordance to IEC 61965, the following
warning, or wording with a similar meaning, shall be given in the instructions:
WARNING
The CRT in this apparatus employs a protective film on the face.
This film must not be removed as it serves a safety function and
removal will increase the risk of serious injury.

8 Constructional requirements with regard to the protection against electric
shock
8.7 Replace the text of this subclause with “Void.”
8.8 Add the following at the end of the list of requirements:
For test specifications of non-separable thin sheet insulation, see 8.22.
NOTE The purpose of the tests in 8.22 is to ensure that the material has adequate strength to resist damage
when hidden in inner layers of insulation. Therefore, the tests are not applied to insulation in two layers. The tests
are also not applied to SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION.
8.12 Replace the text of this subclause with “Void.”
Add the following new subclause:
8.22 Test specifications of non-separable thin sheet material
Compliance is checked by subclause 26.3 in IEC 61558-1or by the following:
Three test samples, each individual sample consisting of three or more layers of non-
separable thin sheet material forming REINFORCED INSULATION, are used. One sample at a time
is fixed to the mandrel of the test fixture (Figure 14) as shown in Figure 15.

---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------

60065 Amend. 1  IEC:2005 – 11 –
A downward force of 150 N ± 10 N is applied to the free end of the sample (see Figure 16),
using an appropriate clamping device. The mandrel is rotated by hand without jerks
– from the initial position (Figure 15) to the final position (Figure 16) and back;
– as above for the second time;
– from the initial position to the final position.
If a sample breaks during rotation where it is fixed to the mandrel or the clamping device, this
does not constitute a failure and the test is repeated on a fresh sample. If a sample breaks at
any other place, the test has failed.
After this preconditioning, a sheet of metal foil, 0,035 mm ± 0,005 mm thick, at least 200 mm
long, is placed along the surface of the sample, hanging down on each side of the mandrel
(see Figure 16). The surface of the foil in contact with the sample shall be conductive, not
oxidised or otherwise insulated. The foil is positioned so that its edges are not less than
18 mm from the edges of the sample (see Figure 17). The foil is then tightened by two equal
weights, one at each end, using appropriate clamping devices.
While the mandrel is in its final position, and within the 60 s following the final positioning, a
dielectric strength test is applied between the mandrel and the metal foil in accordance with
10.3.2, using a test voltage of 1,5 times the value specified in Table 5 for REINFORCED
INSULATION, but not less than 5 kV.
The entire test procedure is repeated on the other two samples.
No flashover or breakdown shall occur during the test; corona effects and similar phenomena
being disregarded.
