This sectional specification is to be read in conjunction with EN 60966-1:1999. It contains the same
clauses as that of EN 60966-1 and completes or amends them when required. When a clause of
EN 60966-1 does not appear in this standard, it applies as it is in EN 60966-1. When this standard states
"addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60966-2-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 46:
Cables, wires, waveguides, R.F. connectors, R.F. and microwave passive components and
accessories.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2003. It constitutes a
technical revision.
The major change with respect to the second edition is a better definition of the tests to be
performed.
This sectional specification is to be read in conjunction with the second edition of
IEC 60966-1 (1999). It contains the same clauses as that of IEC 60966-1 and completes or
amends them when required. When a clause of IEC 60966-1 does not appear in this standard,
it applies as it is in IEC 60966-1. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or
"replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
