European foreword
This document (EN 60898-1:2019/A11:2024) has been prepared by CLC/TC 23E “Circuit breakers and similar
devices for household and similar applications”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2025-04-22
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2027-04-22
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document is read in conjunction with EN 60898-1:2019 and EN 60898-1:2019/A1:2024.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CENELEC by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document.
This amendment and EN 60898-1:2019/A1:2024 include the following significant technical changes with
respect to EN 60898-1:2019:
— Clause 6, Marking and other product information: addition of two items dealing with the grid distance “a”;
one for the value of “a”, the other for the installation information, when “a” is greater than 35 mm.
— Subclause 8.1.3, Clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation and 9.7, Test of dielectric
properties: text is rearranged to be in line with the IEC 61008 and IEC 61009 series.
— Subclause 9.9, 28-day test: the reference temperature is measured during the first cycle (previously
during the temperature-rise test).
— Subclause 9.12.9.2 (Short-circuit) Test in free air, addition of a maximum grid distance of 250 mm.
— Annex J: Upper limit of current for use of screwless terminals is increased up to 40 A.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CENELEC by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
