8 Marking and documentation
8.8 Replace all existing paragraphs with the following new paragraphs, and add new
Figure 8:
The marking according to 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 shall not be placed on easily removable parts such
as screws or washers.
Laser marking directly on the product and marking made by moulding, pressing or engraving
are not subjected to this test.

© IEC 2020
Compliance is checked by the tests in 8.9 and 8.10 and by inspection, using normal or corrected
vision, without additional magnification and by rubbing the label using the equipment shown in
Figure 8. New samples shall be used for 8.9 and 8.10.

Key
A Diameter of the piston (20 ± 1) mm
B Radius of the piston head (20 ± 1) mm
C Gap between piston head and cylinder (2 + 1/− 0) mm
Figure 8 – Piston for durability of marking test
The test piston head shall be made of an elastic material which is inert against the test liquids
and has a Shore-A hardness of 47 ± 5 (for example synthetic rubber). The piston shall be
wrapped with cotton comprising cotton wool covered by a piece of cotton medical gauze.
When it is not possible to carry out the test on the specimens due to the shape/size of the
product, a suitable piece of the product having the same characteristics can be submitted to
the test.
The test shall be carried out on one sample. If the sample does not satisfy the test, the test
shall be repeated on two new samples, both of which shall comply with the requirements.
Add the following two new subclauses:
8.9 Durability of marking
The sample shall be rubbed by applying a compression force of (5 ± 1) N at a rate of one cycle
per second for 15 s (a cycle comprising a forward and backward movement along the length of
the marking) by means of the test piston shown in Figure 8.
Rubbing shall commence immediately after soaking the piece of cotton with water. For markings
longer than 20 mm, rubbing can be limited to a part of the marking, over a path of at least
20 mm length.
The sample surface shall then be dried, and the test repeated on the same sample using new
cotton soaked in n-hexane 95 % solvent.
When using this liquid, precautions as stated in the relevant material safety datasheet provided
by the chemical supplier shall be taken to safeguard the person performing the test.
NOTE n-hexane 95 % (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number, CAS RN, 110-54-3) is available from a variety
of chemical suppliers as a high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) solvent.
After the test, the marking shall be legible.

9 Construction
Add the following new subclause:
9.9 Requirements for PT system with more than one circuit
When a PT system with tap-off facilities is intended to supply several circuits in the same
powertrack, the system shall be designed and constructed to prevent tap-off units from being
connected to the wrong circuit.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
