2 Definitions

2.2 Types of apparatus

Add after the definition 2.2.12 the following new definition:

2.2.Z1
PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM
small battery powered audio equipment:
• whose prime purpose is to listen to recorded or broadcasted sound; and
• that uses headphones or earphones that can be worn in or on or around the ears; and
• that allows the user to walk around
NOTE Examples are mini-disk or CD players, MP3 audio players or similar equipment.

5.4.1
Modify indent za) as follows:
za) For a PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM, a warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.

6.1 Replace the entire subclause in EN 60065:2002 and EN 60065:2002/A1:2006 by:

6.1 Ionizing radiation

Apparatus including a potential source of ionizing radiation shall be so constructed that personal
protection against ionizing radiation is provided under normal operating conditions and under fault
conditions.

Compliance is checked by measurement under the following conditions:

In addition to the normal operating conditions, all controls adjustable from the outside BY HAND, by
any object such as a tool or a coin, and those internal adjustments or pre-sets which are not locked in
a reliable manner, are adjusted so as to give maximum radiation whilst maintaining an intelligible
picture for 1 h, at the end of which the measurement is made.

NOTE 1 Soldered joints and paint lockings are examples of adequate locking.

The dose-rate is determined by means of a radiation monitor with an effective area of 10 cm², at any
point 10 cm from the outer surface of the apparatus.

Moreover, the measurement shall be made under fault conditions causing an increase of the
high-voltage, provided an intelligible picture is maintained for 1 h, at the end of which the
measurement is made.

The dose-rate shall not exceed 1µSv/h (0,1 mR/h) taking account of the background level.

NOTE 2 These values appear in Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13th May 1996.

EN 60065:2002/A11:2008 –4–

A picture is considered to be intelligible if the following conditions are met:

- a scanning amplitude of at least 70 % of the usable screen width;
- a minimum luminance of 50 cd/m² with locked blank raster provided by a test generator;
- a horizontal resolution corresponding to at least 1,5 MHz in the centre, with a similar vertical
degradation;
- not more than one flashover per 5 min.

Add the following new clause after Clause 20:

Z1 Resistance to candle flame ignition

A television set shall be so designed that the likelihood of ignition and the spread of fire caused by a
candle flame is reduced.

NOTE 1 An apparatus with a viewing screen is not regarded to be a television set if it is declared not to be so by the
manufacturer.

This requirement does not apply to the display screen of rear projection TV’s.

NOTE 2 This exemption has been allowed because this technology is falling out of use and it is expected that within a few
years it will no longer exist. This exemption will not be extended to other technologies.

NOTE 3 The frame around the screen is not exempted from the requirements.

Wood and WOOD-BASED MATERIAL with a thickness of at least 6 mm is considered to fulfil the V-1
requirement when applying CLC/TS 62441.

Compliance is checked according to CLC/TS 62441.

NOTE 4 The term vertical, as used in the first dash of clause 5.2 of CLC/TS 62441, does not mean a perfectly vertical
position. It should be interpreted as any surface that can be touched by the flame of a candle of 150 mm height and 20 mm
diameter while the candle is still touching the supporting surface. A typical candle used in the home is assumed to be 20 mm
diameter.

NOTE 5 It is expected that CLC/TS 62441 will in the future be replaced by a standard, at which time that standard will become
applicable, subject to a vote by National Committees at the time.

Special national conditions

Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a
long period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the European Standard.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.

Add the following special national conditions:

Clause Special national condition

5.4 Finland, Norway and Sweden
To the end of 5.4 the following is added:

CLASS I apparatus which is intended for connection to the building installation wiring
via a plug or an appliance coupler, or both and in addition is intended for connection
to other apparatus or a network shall, if safety relies on connection to protective
earth or if surge suppressors are connected between the network TERMINALS and
ACCESSIBLE parts, have a marking stating that the apparatus must be connected
to an MAINS socket-outlet with protective earth.
The marking text in the applicable countries shall be as follows:
In Finland: “Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan”
In Norway: “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt”
In Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag"”
 – 11 – EN 60065:2002/A11:2008

Clause Special national condition

5.4.1 Norway and Sweden
To the end of 5.4.1 (after the compliance statement) the following is added:

The screen of the cable distribution system is normally not earthed at the entrance of
the building and there is normally no equipotential bonding system within the
building. Therefore the protective earthing of the building installation need to be
isolated from the screen of a cable distribution system.
It is however accepted to provide the insulation external to the equipment by an
adapter or an interconnection cable with galvanic isolator, which may be provided by
e.g. a retailer.
The user manual shall then have the following or similar information in Norwegian
and Swedish language respectively, depending on in what country the equipment is
intended to be used in:
“Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through
the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective
earthing – and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some
circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a
certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11)”
NOTE In Norway, due to regulation for installations of cable distribution systems, and in Sweden, a
galvanic isolator shall provide electrical insulation below 5 MHz. The insulation shall withstand a dielectric
strength of 1,5 kV r.m.s., 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1 min.
Translation to Norwegian (the Swedish text will also be accepted in Norway):
“Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet
utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare.
For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en
galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og kabel-TV nettet.”
Translation to Swedish:
”Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medf"ra risk f"r
brand.
F"r att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät galvanisk
isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.””

15.1.1 Denmark
The text of the Danish SNC in EN 60065:2002 has been modified as follows:

To the first paragraph the following is added:

In Denmark, supply cords of single-phase appliances having a rated current not

exceeding 13 A shall be provided with a plug according to the Heavy Current
Regulations Section 107-2-D1.

Appliances of CLASS I provided with socket-outlets with earth contact or which are
intended to be used in locations where protection against indirect contact is required
according to the wiring rules shall be provided with a plug in accordance with the Heavy
Current Regulations, Section 107-2-D1 standard sheet DK 2-1a.

To the second paragraph the following is added:

Socket outlets intended for providing power to CLASS II apparatus with a rated current
of 2,5 A shall be in accordance with the Heavy Current Regulation, Section 107-2-D1
standard sheet DKA 1-4a.

Other current ratings socket outlets shall be in compliance with the Heavy Current
Regulation, Section 107-2-D1 standard sheet DKA 1-3a or DKA 1-3b.

To the third paragraph the following is added:

Mains socket-outlets with earthing contact shall be in compliance with the Heavy Current
Regulation, Section 107-2-D1 standard sheet DK 1-3a, DK 1-5a or DK 1-7a.

Justification:
Heavy Current Regulations, Section 107-2-D1
