Foreword

The text of the International Standard

IEC 61009-2-1:1990, which makes reference to and

finds application with IEC 61009-1:1990, was

submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure

(UAP) for acceptance as a European Standard

simultaneously with the UAP on prEN 61009-1

As the UAP on prEN 61009-1, for which common

modifications had been prepared by Technical

Committee CENELEC TC 23E, Circuit-breakers

and similar equipment for household and similar

use, did not obtain a sufficient number of positive

votes, neither document was accepted

On the basis of the common modifications added

in the revised prEN 61009-1, no changes to

IEC 61009-2-1 were necessary and the document

was submitted to the formal vote

The new draft was approved by CENELEC as

EN 61009-2-1 on 1994-03-08

The following dates were fixed:

For products which have complied with the relevant

national standard before 2000-07-01, as shown by

the manufacturer or by a certification body, this

previous standard may continue to apply for

production until 2005-07-01

Conformity of products with the requirements of

this standard ensures conformity with the essential

requirements of Directive 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage

Directive) and its amendment 93/68/EEC

There are no special national conditions or

A-deviations to this European Standard other than

those listed in EN 61009-1:1994

Foreword to amendment A1

This amendment was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 23E, Circuit breakers and similar devices for household and similar applications

The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved
