Foreword
This European Standard was prepared by SC 205A, Mains communicating systems, of Technical
Committee CENELEC TC 205, Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES).
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC
as EN 50065-4-7 on 2004-12-01.
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) 2006-02-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-12-01
This safety standard EN 50065-4-7 has no frequency dependent content.
It was originally conceived as a safety document within the EN 50065 set of standards, which have a
frequency of 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz.
When the scope of SC205A was extended to 30 MHz, SC 205A agreed that the scope of the published
safety standard, EN 50065-4-2, Low voltage decoupling filters - Safety requirements, should be amended
to include the band 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz in order to cover the additional set of standards for 1,6 MHz to
30 MHz. This required no technical changes to the body of the document.
In addition, it was agreed that Part 4-7, Portable low voltage decoupling filters - Safety requirements,
should also cover both frequency ranges. For this reason the title of this part of EN 50065 covers the
extended frequency ranges 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz and 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz.
When certifying or making declaration of conformity to the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC in order to
CE mark the device it is important to state that the CE marking is only valid for the filter parts of the
product. The plug parts and socket-outlets parts are not covered by the Low Voltage Directive and shall
therefore comply with the relevant national standards.

1 Scope

This European product safety standard applies to the filter part of portable devices for household and
similar uses (hereafter referred to as portable decoupling filters) consisting of the filter part, a plug or an
appliance inlet or a provision for connection by terminals or with a non-rewirable cord and one (multiple)
socket-outlet or an appliance outlet. They are intended for single-phase circuits for nominal currents not
exceeding 16 A and for nominal voltages not exceeding 250 V a.c. to neutral operating in the frequency
range 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz and from 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz.

The filtering functions are described in EN 50065-4-1.

This standard does not cover phase couplers.

Portable decoupling filters shall not be used as part of the fixed installation, where EN 50065-4-2 applies.

Plugs and socket-outlets connected to the filter part and plugs and socket-outlets integrated with the filter
part shall comply with the relevant national standard(s).

Appliance inlets and appliance outlets connected to the filter part shall comply with the relevant parts of
the EN 60320 series. Appliance inlets and appliance outlets integrated with the filter parts are not covered
by this standard.

This standard can be used for portable mains communication devices when no other product standard
exists.

This standard can be used for other portable mains filters other than those described in EN 50065-4-1
when no other product standard exists.

Filters including batteries are not covered by this standard.

4 General requirements

The portable filter devices including its accessories shall be so designed and constructed that, in normal
use, their performance is reliable and without danger to the user or the surroundings.

In general, compliance is checked by carrying out all the tests specified, where applicable.


5 General notes on tests

Tests according to this standard are type tests.

5.1 The samples are tested as delivered and under normal conditions of use, having regard to the
classification of the filter device and to the manufacturer's installation instructions.

5.2 Unless otherwise specified, the tests are carried out in the order of the clauses at an ambient
temperature of 20 °C ± 5 °C.

5.3 The required number of samples with filter portion shall be 9.

NOTE The number of samples with plug or socket-outlet parts shall be in accordance with the national standard(s). The number of
samples with appliance coupler parts shall be in accordance with the EN 60320 standard(s).

Three samples are subjected to all the relevant tests, except the test of Clauses 27 and 28 where three
other samples are used, and the tests of Clauses 29 and 30 where another three samples are used.

5.4 Filter device is deemed not to comply with this standard if any sample does not pass the tests of
25.1, 25.2, Clauses 29 and 30, and if there are more failures than that of one sample in any of the other
tests.

If no sample has failed during the tests of 25.1, 25.2, Clauses 29 and 30, but one sample has failed in
another way during any of the other tests, the test which caused the failure and those preceding which
may have influenced the result of that test, are repeated on another set of samples, as specified in 5.4, all
of which shall then comply with the repeated tests.

NOTE 1 In general, it will be necessary only to repeat the test that caused the failure, unless the sample fails in the mechanical
strength test of Clause 21, in which case the ageing test of Clause 14 is repeated.

NOTE 2 The applicant may submit, together with the number of samples specified in 5.3, the additional set of samples, which may
be required, should one sample fail. The testing laboratory will then, without further request, test the additional samples and will
reject only if a further failure occurs. If the additional set of samples is not submitted at the same time, a failure of one sample will
entail a rejection.


6 Rating

6.1 Rated value of nominal voltages are 230 V.

6.2 Rated values of nominal currents are 10 A, 13 A and 16 A.

For a filter accessory, the rated current of the socket-outlet part shall not be higher than the rated value of
the nominal current for the filter part and the plug part.

6.3 Rated cross-sectional areas of conductors are 0,75 mm², 1,0 mm² and 1,5 mm².

Compliance with the requirements of 6.1 to 6.3 is checked by inspection of the marking and the
instruction sheet.
