EN 60950


EN 60950 is applicable in all countries of the European Union.

The following is a list of the major differences between this standard and IEC 60950:

  • Component Requirements for EN 60950 are given in Annex ZA.
  • Circumstances under which protection against short circuits, excess current and earth faults can be provided in the building installation, rather than as an integral part of the product, are described in Clause 2.7.1

In addition, the following differences apply to Sweden:

  • If the separation between the mains and a SELV terminal relies upon connection to safety earth, the apparatus shall have a marking stating that it must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet when a SELV circuit is connected to a network connecting both unearthed and earthed electrical environments.
  • Caution text concerning lithium batteries:

VARNING
       Eksplosionsfara vid felaktigt batteribyte.
    Anv„nd samma batterityp eller en ekvivalent
  typ som rekommenderas av apparattillverkaren.
       Kassera anv„nt batteri enligt fabrikantens
       instruktion.
 

  • Supplementary insulation for a primary circuit is required between any TNV circuit and any circuit that has a connection to a protective earthing terminals.

    This requirement does not apply to permanently connected equipment or to
    pluggable equipment type B.

Note: This list is not complete.  Please refer to the standard itself for full information.
