INTRODUCTION
Add, after Figure 1, the following new text:
IEC Guide 109 advocates the need to minimise the impact of a product on the natural
environment throughout the product life cycle.
It is understood that some of the materials permitted in this standard may have a negative
environmental impact.
As technological advances lead to acceptable alternatives for these materials, they will be
eliminated from the standard.

SECTION 4: PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Replace the existing clauses of section 4 by the following new clauses:
14 General
This practical guidance is applicable for non-accessible ID connections made with insulated
stranded or solid copper conductors and is for information only. These connections shall be
produced by special wire insertion tools (fully automatic, semi-automatic or hand-operated
insertion tools). Conductors made of other materials (aluminium, etc.) often require special
actions regarding the ID-terminations and the insertion tools, which should be agreed upon by
the manufacturer.
14.1 Advantages of ID connections
An ID connection made by the ID technique is usually a permanent electrical connection
between one conductor and an ID termination of any shape. There are also terminations that
allow more than one wire insertion in the same connection slot. Good electrical connections
are achieved by exactly matching i
