4 Modification to Clause 4
Add the following new subclause 4.Z1 after subclause 4.9:
“For compliance with B.3 and B.4 in circuits connected to an AC mains, protective devices shall be provided,
subject to the following:
— for pluggable equipment type A, the protective devices shall be included as parts of the equipment,
with the exception of components in series with the mains input to the equipment such as the supply
cord, appliance coupler, r.f.i. filter and switch, for which the building installation shall be regarded as
providing protection in accordance with the rating of the wall socket outlet;
— for pluggable equipment type B or permanently connected equipment, the protection may be the
dedicated overcurrent and short-circuit protection in the building installation, provided that the means of
protection, for example a fuse or circuit breaker, is fully specified in the installation instructions.
Where protective devices are required within the equipment, the protective devices within the equipment
shall operate before or at the same time the expected building installation protection will operate.
For earth faults in single-phase equipment, it is not necessary to provide 2 protective devices. It is expected
that the building installation will protect against earth faults. This applies also in countries where an IT power
distribution system is used.”
5 Modification to subclause 4.1.9

8 Modification to subclause 5.6.6.2
Replace item d) with the following:
“d)  For equipment powered from a DC mains, if the protective current rating of the circuit under test
exceeds 25 A, the test current shall be minimum as required in item a), unless the manufacturer specifies a
higher value.”
9 Modification to subclause 9.3.1
Replace the second paragraph with the following:
“An accessible part that, while in contact with the body, is likely to drop in temperature upon touch can be
evaluated under the limits of Annex A of IEC Guide 117:2010 using the test method of 4.5 of IEC Guide 117.”
10 Modification to subclause 10.2.1
