Annex ZZ
(informative)

Relationship between this European standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered

This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request relating to
harmonised standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

Remarks / Notes
Directive 2014/35/EU of this EN
1. General conditions

a) the essential characteristics, Clause 7
the recognition and observance

of which will ensure that
electrical equipment will be used
safely and in applications for

which it was made, shall be
marked on the electrical
equipment, or, if this is not
possible, on an accompanying
document;
b) the electrical equipment, All clauses

parts, shall be made in such a

way as to ensure that it can be
safely and properly assembled
and connected;
c) the electrical equipment shall See item 2 and 3 of this table
be so designed and
manufactured as to ensure that
protection against the hazards
set out in points 2 and 3 is

assured, providing that the
equipment is used in
applications for which it was
made and is adequately
maintained.

equipment
Measures of a technical nature
shall be laid down in accordance
with point 1, in order to ensure
that:
a) persons and domestic Clauses 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and
14
animals are adequately

protected against the danger of

physical injury or other harm
which might be caused by direct
or indirect contact;
b) temperatures, arcs or Clauses 11, 12, 15, 16 and 17
radiation which would cause a

danger, are not produced;
c) persons, domestic animals Clauses 4, 11, 13, 16 and 18
and property are adequately

protected against non-electrical

dangers caused by the electrical
equipment which are revealed
by experience;
d) the insulation is suitable for Clauses 8, 10, 11, 13, 15 and

foreseeable conditions. 17
3. Protection against hazards
which may be caused by
external influences on the
electrical equipment

Technical measures shall be
laid down in accordance with
point 1, in order to ensure that
the electrical equipment:
a) meets the expected Clauses 7, 11, 13 and 18
mechanical requirements in

such a way that persons,

domestic animals and property
are not endangered;
b) is resistant to non-mechanical Clauses 11, 12,15 and 17
influences in expected
environmental conditions, in

such a way that persons,
domestic animals and property
are not endangered;
c) does not endanger persons, Clauses 11, 12 and 17
domestic animals and property


in foreseeable conditions of
overload.

WARNING 1: Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this
European standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the
European Union. Users of this standard should consult frequently the latest list published
in the Official Journal of the European Union.

3 Terms and definitions
Replace definition 3.6 with the following new definition:
3.6
rated ignition voltage
highest peak value of an ignition pulse voltage the holder is able to withstand
Replace definition 3.20 with the following new definition:
3.20
polarized lampholder
lampholder for building-in specially designed for asymmetric ignition voltages, where the rated
ignition voltage (higher rated ignition voltage) is designated to a fixed contact
Add, at the end of Clause 3, the following new terms and definitions:
3.23
critical frequency
ƒ
crit
frequency at which the reduction of the breakdown voltage of a clearance begins (occurs)
Note 1 to entry: ƒ ≈ 0,2/d [MHz] where d (in mm) is the clearance according to Table 3 (basic or supplementary
crit
insulation and reinforced insulation respectively) disregarding the frequency.

3.24.1
ignition pulse voltage
peak ignition voltage with a total duration of ≤ 750 µs (summation of all pulse durations) within
10 ms, with the duration time (width) of each pulse being measured at the level of 50% of the
maximum absolute peak value
Note 1 to entry: Ignition pulse waveforms, which are considered as ignition pulse voltage, should not contain any
dominant frequency above 30 kHz or should be usually highly damped (after 20 µs the peak voltage level should be
less than one half of the maximum peak voltage). For the assessment of the dominant frequency
IEC 60664-4:2005, Annex E should be consulted.
