This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2012-02-01. 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 CEN-CENELEC Management Centre 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 CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, 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, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 23H/267/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 62196-2, prepared by SC 23H, "Industrial
plugs and socket-outlets", of IEC TC 23, "Electrical accessories" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 62196-2:2012.

The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2012-11-01
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2015-02-01
• latest date by which the national
standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn
EN 62196-2 is to be read in conjunction with EN 62196-1. The clauses of the particular requirements in
Part 2 supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1. Where the text indicates an "addition" to
or a "replacement" of the relevant requirement, test specification or explanation of Part 1, these changes
are made to the relevant text of Part 1, which then becomes part of the standard. Where no change is
necessary, the words "This clause of Part 1 is applicable" are used.
This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed
for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
Endorsement notice
