Overview

EN 50250:2002/A1:2015 - Conversion adaptors for industrial use - is a CENELEC amendment that updates the original EN 50250:2002. Prepared by CLC/SR 23H (Industrial plugs and socket‑outlets), this amendment corrects and clarifies references in the annexes and updates cross‑references in Clause 2. The standard sits under ICS 29.120.20 (connecting devices) and addresses safety aspects relevant to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD - 2006/95/EC).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Applies to conversion adaptors used in industrial environments (adapters that allow connection between differing industrial plugs and socket‑outlets).
• Safety objectives: Covers the principal elements of the LVD safety objectives for electrical equipment within certain voltage limits.
• Reference updates: Clause 2 now references EN 50525-2-11:2011 for flexible PVC‑insulated low voltage energy cables (replacing older HD 21 references).
• Annex corrections: Several national standard citations and national deviations/special conditions in Annexes AA, BB and CC were corrected (Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Portugal, Romania and others).
• Regulatory timing: National implementation and withdrawal deadlines were set (documented dates for national adoption and withdrawal of conflicting standards).
• Intellectual property note: The amendment highlights potential patent rights that may affect elements of the document.

Practical applications and users

• Manufacturers of industrial conversion adaptors and accessory components use the standard to ensure product design meets European safety and compatibility expectations.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies rely on the standard and its referenced normative documents when assessing conformity to the LVD.
• Electrical contractors, plant engineers and safety officers use the standard to select compatible adaptors and ensure safe temporary power connections in industrial settings.
• Standards committees and national bodies implement the amendment to harmonize national rules and resolve references in national annexes.

Related standards and cross‑references

• EN 50250:2002 (original standard)
• EN 50525-2-11:2011 (low voltage energy cables - flexible PVC insulated cables) - updated reference in Clause 2
• Various national standards cited in amended Annexes (e.g., VDE, DS, SFS, NF, NP, STAS) - see Annex AA/BB/CC for country‑specific notes

This amendment is primarily administrative and editorial in nature but is important for correct referencing and consistent national implementation.
