AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch [and/or]
www.iso.org/patents. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 63180:2020 has been prepared by subcommittee 23B: Plugs,
socket-outlets and switches, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:

For more repeatable measurements it is recommended to use the automated test procedure.
5 Test environment
Replace the tenth paragraph (excluding the notes) with the following:
The test room temperature and the temperature of the walls, ceiling and floor shall be stable
during the tests within a tolerance of:
– ±2 K for manual tests;
– ±1,5 K for automated tests.
Add "1" to the first note in Clause 5, as follows:
NOTE 1 This can be achieved by covering the detection area of the detector towards the wall or by covering the

NOTE The shoulders are part of the body.
All test sides of the dummies shall be heated except the bottom side which is not relevant for
the test.
The temperature of the surface for each zone of the dummy shall be homogeneous and the
spread shall be ≤ 5 K.
The dummy can be made of aluminium, painted black and heated by heating plates placed
inside the dummy.
The temperature of the dummy shall be stable within 1 K for a minimum of 10 min prior to testing
and for the duration of the tests.
Stability can be verified by measuring the temperature during the test at one reference point at
each zone.
Replace the title of Table 1 with the following:
Table 1 – Relation between the declared mounting height, the mounting height of the
device under test (DUT) and test dummy used
6.3 Test arm for minor motion detection
Replace the whole subclause with the following:
The test arm to be used for the minor motion detection test shall be a robotic arm with
dimensions (76 mm × 76 mm × 380 mm) ±2 mm, mounted at a height of 750 mm ± 20 mm
above the reference level.
For manual tests the reference level is the floor.
For automated tests the reference level is the mounting surface of the test dummy as given in
Figure 4.
The test arm can be made of aluminium, painted black and heated by heating plates placed
inside the test arm.
The height is measured from the centre of the horizontal axis.
The test arm shall be able to move at a velocity of 90°/s.
The test arm shall be able to rotate in the horizontal x-
