3 General requirements
3.Z1 After 3.4, add the following:
3.Z1 Protective devices
To protect against excessive current, short-circuits and earth faults in MAINS,
protective devices shall be included either as integral parts of the equipment or as
parts of the building installation, subject to the following, a), b) and c):
a) except as detailed in b) and c), protective devices necessary to comply with the
requirements of Clause 11 shall be included as parts of the equipment;
b) for components in series or parallel with the mains input to the equipment such as
the supply cord, appliance coupler, r.f.i. filter and switch, short-circuit and earth
fault protection may be provided by protective devices in the building installation;
c) it is permitted for equipment supplied via an industrial mains plug or for
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED APPARATUS, to rely on dedicated over current
and short-circuit protection in the building installation, provided that the means of
protection, e.g. fuses or circuit breakers, is fully specified in the installation
instructions.
If reliance is placed on protection in the building installation, the installation
instructions shall so state, except that for apparatus not supplied via an industrial
mains plug or for PERMANENTLY CONNECTED APPARATUS the building
installation shall be regarded as providing protection in accordance with the rating of
the wall socket outlet.
4 General test conditions
4.1.1 Replace the text of the note by:
NOTE For ROUTINE TEST, reference is made to EN 50514:2008.
6 Hazardous radiations
6.1 Replace the entire subclause by the following:
Apparatus including a potential source of ionizing radiation shall be so constructed
that personal protection against ionizing radiation is provided under normal operating
conditions and under fault conditions.
Compliance is checked by measurement under the following conditions:

In addition to the normal operating conditions, all controls adjustable from the outside
BY HAND, by any object such as a tool or a coin, and those internal adjustments or
pre-sets which are not locked in a reliable manner, are adjusted so as to give
maximum radiation whilst maintaining an intelligible picture for 1 h, at the end of which
the measurement is made.
– 5 – EN 60065:2014
NOTE 1  Soldered joints and paint lockings are examples of adequate locking.

The dose-rate is determined by means of a radiation monitor with an effective area of
10 cm , at any point 10 cm from the outer surface of the apparatus

Moreover, the measurement shall be made under fault conditions causing an increase
of the high-voltage, provided an intelligible picture is maintained for 1 h, at the end of
which the measurement is made.

The dose-rate shall not exceed 1 µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) taking account of the background
level.
NOTE 2  These values appear in Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996.

A picture is considered to be intelligible if the following conditions are met:
- a scanning amplitude of at least 70 % of the usable screen width;
- a minimum luminance of 50 cd/m² with locked blank raster provided by a test
generator;
- a horizontal resolution corresponding to at least 1,5 MHz in the centre, with a
similar vertical degradation;
- not more than one flashover per 5 min.
16 External flexible cords
16.1 Add the following note after the first paragraph:

NOTE Z1  The harmonized code designations corresponding to the IEC cord types are given in Annex ZD.
Z1 Protection against excessive sound pressure from personal music players
Z1 Add the following new clause after 20.3.3:
Z1 Protection against excessive sound pressure from personal music
players
Z1.1 General
This subclause specifies requirements for protection against excessive sound
pressure from personal music players that are closely coupled to the ear.
Requirements for earphones and headphones intended for use with personal music
players are also covered.
A personal music player is a portable equipment for personal use, that:
− is designed to allow the user to listen to recorded or broadcast sound or video; and
− uses a listening device, such as headphones or earphones that can be worn in or
on or around the ears; and
− is body worn (of a size suitable to be carried in a clothing pocket) and is intended
for the user to walk around while in use.
EXAMPLES CD players, MP3 audio players, mobile phones with MP3 type features, PDA’s or
similar equipment.
A personal music player shall comply with the requirements of this subclause.
NOTE 1 Protection against acoustic energy sources from telecom terminal equipment is referenced to
ITU-T Recommendation P.360.
The requirements in this subclause are valid for music or video mode only.
The requirements do not apply to:
− professional equipment;
NOTE 2 Professional equipment is equipment sold through special sales channels. All products sold
through normal electronics stores are considered not to be professional equipment.
− hearing aid equipment and other devices for assistive listening;
− the following types of analogue personal music players:
 long distance radio receiver (for example, a multiband radio receiver or a
world band radio receiver, an AM radio receiver) and
 cassette player/recorder;
NOTE 3 This exemption has been allowed because this technology is falling out of use and it is expected
that within a few years it will no longer exist. This exemption will not be extended to other technologies.
− player while connected to an external amplifier that does not allow the user to
walk around while in use.
For equipment clearly designed or intended for use by young children, the limits of
EN 71-1 apply.
Z1.2 Equipment requirements
No safety provision is required for equipment that complies with the following:
− equipment provided as a package (personal music player with its listening
device), where the acoustic output L is ≤ 85 dB(A) measured while playing the
Aeq,T
fixed “programme simulation noise” as described in EN 50332-1; and
− personal music player provided with an analogue electrical output socket for a
listening device, where the electrical output is ≤ 27 mV measured as described in
EN 50332-2, while playing the fixed “programme simulation noise” as described in
EN 50332-1.
NOTE 1  Wherever the term acoustic output is used in this subclause, the 30 s A-weighted equivalent
sound pressure level L is meant. See also Z1.5 and Annex ZE.
Aeq,T
All other equipment shall:
a) protect the user from unintentional acoustic outputs exceeding those mentioned
above; and
b) have a standard acoustic output level not exceeding those mentioned above, and
automatically return to an output level not exceeding those mentioned above when
the power is switched off; and
c) provide a means to actively inform the user of the increased sound pressure when
the equipment is operated with an acoustic output exceeding those mentioned
above. Any means used shall be acknowledged by the user before activating a
mode of operation which allows for an acoustic output exceeding those mentioned
above. The acknowledgement does not need to be repeated more than once every
20 h of cumulative listening time; and
NOTE 2 Examples of means include visual or audible signals. Action from the user is always required.
NOTE 3 The 20 h listening time is the accumulative listening time, independent how often and how long
the personal music player has been switched off.
d) have a warning as specified in Z1.3; and

– 7 – EN 60065:2014
e) not exceed the following:
1) equipment provided as a package (player with its listening device), the
acoustic output shall be ≤ 100 dB(A) measured while playing the fixed
“programme simulation noise” described in EN 50332-1; and
2) a personal music player provided with an analogue electrical output socket for
a listening device, the electrical output shall be ≤ 150 mV measured as
described in EN 50332-2, while playing the fixed “programme simulation
noise” described in EN 50332-1.
For music where the average sound pressure (long term L ) measured over the
Aeq,T
duration of the song is lower than the average produced by the programme simulation
noise, the warning does not need to be given as long as the a
