– modif i ation of the title an s o e;

– revision to Clau e H.2 b sed on c an es in tec nolog , a pl cation , an to improve

in An ex J;

– new req irements coverin b tery-p wered controls, an the u e of b t eries in controls;

The “in some cou tries” notes regardin dif ferin national practices are contained in the
