Foreword
The text of document 23J/327/CDV, future edition 2 of IEC 61058-2-5, prepared by SC 23J, Switches for
appliances, of IEC TC 23, Electrical accessories, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and
was approved by CENELEC as EN 61058-2-5 on 2011-01-03.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61058-2-5:1994 + A11:2002.
The main changes from EN 61058-2-5:1994 + A11:2002 are as follows:
– scope;
– abnormal operation and fault conditions for electronic switches;
– components for electronic switches;
– EMC requirements.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2011-10-03
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2014-01-03
with the EN have to be withdrawn

This standard is to be read in conjunction with the EN 61058-1:2002, Switches for appliances – Part 1:
General requirements, and its amendment 2 (2008).
This Part 2-5 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 61058-1, so as to convert that
publication into the EN standard: Particular requirements for change-over selectors.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-5, that subclause applies as far as
reasonable. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text of
Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
In this standard:
1) the following print types are used:
- requirements proper: in roman type;
- test specifications: in italic type;
- notes/explanatory matters: in small roman type.
2) subclauses, notes, figures and tables which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101. Annexes which are additional to those in Part 1 are lettered AA, BB, etc.

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 61058-2-5 has been prepared by subcommittee 23J: Switches for
appliances, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994 and constitutes a
technical revision. The main changes from the first edition are as follows:
– scope;
– abnormal operation and fault conditions for electronic switches;
– components for electronic switches;
– EMC requirements.

CDV Report on voting
23J/327/CDV 23J/338/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 61058-1:2000, Switches for appliances
– Part 1: General requirements, and its amendments 1 (2001) and 2 (2007).
This Part 2-5 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 61058-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for change-over
selectors.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-5, that subclause applies
as far as reasonable. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”,
the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
In this standard:
1) the following print types are used:
· requirements proper: in roman type;
· test specifications: in italic type;
· notes/explanatory matters: in small roman type.
2) subclauses, notes, figures and tables which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered
