3.29
class of safety protection
degree of safety protection identified by one of four codes to be marked on the capacitor
Note 1 to entry: This definition does not apply to electrolytic capacitors.
3.29.1
(SO) class of safety protection
degree of safety protection indicating that the capacitor type has no specific failure protection
Note 1 to entry: Formerly referred to as P0.
3.29.2
(S1) class of safety protection
degree of safety protection indicating that the capacitor type may fail in the open-circuit or
short-circuit mode and is protected against fire or shock hazard
Note 1 to entry: Compliance is verified by the test described in 5.1.16.3 and 5.1.16.5.
Note 2 to entry: Formerly referred to as P1.
3.29.3
(S2) class of safety protection
degree of safety protection indicating that the capacitor type has been designed to fail in the
open-circuit mode only and is protected against fire or shock hazard.
Note 1 to entry: Compliance is verified by the test described in 5.1.16.3 and 5.1.16.5.
Note 2 to entry: Formerly referred to as P2.
3.29.4
(S3) class of safety protection
degree of safety protection indicating that the capacitor is of segmented film construction as
defined in 3.6
Note 1 to entry: This capacitor type is required to fail with low residual capacitance (<1 % C ) and has protection
N
against fire and shock hazard. Compliance is verified by the test described in 5.1.16.4 and 5.1.16.6.

5.1.16 Destruction test
Replace Subclause 5.1.16 by the following:
5.1.16 Destruction test
5.1.16.1 General
This test is optional.
Refer to revised definition 3.29 for the appropriate test for each class of safety protection.
Capacitors marked S0 are not required to be tested in accordance with this subclause.
Capacitors fitted with overpressure disconnect device designated S1 and S2 shall be
subjected to the sequential DC and AC test described in 5.1.16.3 and 5.1.16.5.
Capacitors with segmented film as defined in 3.6 and designated S3 class of safety protection
shall be subjected to the simultaneous DC and AC test described in 5.1.16.4 and 5.1.16.6.
