Foreword
The text of document 23B/825/FDIS, future edition 3 of IEC 60669-2-2, prepared by SC 23B, Plugs,
socket-outlets and switches, of IEC TC 23, Electrical accessories, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60669-2-2 on 2006-09-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60669-2-2:1997 + A1:1997.
It includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 60669-2-2:1997:
– clarification of the scope to exclude electronic RCS (to be covered by EN 60669-2-1);
– introduction of symbols under Clause 8;
– introduction of requirements for SELV/PELV.
This part of EN 60669 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60669-1:1999. It lists the changes necessary
to convert that standard into a specific standard for electromagnetic remote-control switches.
In this publication, the following print types are used:
– requirements proper: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in smaller roman type.
Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101.
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) 2007-06-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-09-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60669-2-2:2006 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.

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
