This part of IEC 61058 may, however, be applied for other types of switches which are not mentioned in a relevant
Part 2 of IEC 61058, provided that the electrical safety is not disregarded.
Replace Subclause 1.4 by the following:
1.4 This standard also applies to switches for appliances such as
– switches intended to be connected to a flexible cable (cord switches) for which, however,
particular requirements are given in IEC 61058-2-1;
NOTE In this document, the word "cable" means "cable or cord".
– switches integrated in an appliance (integrated switches);
– switches intended to be mounted separately from the appliance (independently mounted
switches) other than those within the scope of IEC 60669-1, for which, however, particular
requirements are given in IEC 61058-2-4;
– change-over selectors for which, however, particular requirements are given in
