This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2009-06-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,

Foreword
The text of document 97/135/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61822, prepared by IEC TC 97, Electrical
installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote
and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61822 on 2009-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61822:2003.
– revision and update of terms and definitions;
– addition of new subclauses, such as "Nominal output current range and tolerances";
– modification of some subclauses, such as those related to "Local control" and "Remote control";
– deletion of some subclauses, in particular "Power transformers" and "Output current indicator".
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2010-03-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2012-06-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
__________
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 61822:2009 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
