current protection for household and similar uses (RCCB’s), Part 2-1: Applicability of the general rules to RCCB’s functionally independent of line voltage, including amendment A11:1998, published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) It was derived from IEC 1008-2-1:1990 published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) This British Standard is one of a series in which the other publications, which together supersede BS 4293:1983, are as follows: BS EN 61008-1:1995, Residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent

similar uses (RCCB’s): Part 2-2: Applicability of the general rules to RCCB’s functionally dependent on line voltage The foreword of the EN makes reference to the “date of withdrawal“, dow, of the relevant national standard In this case the relevant national standard is BS 4293 which will be withdrawn on July 2000 Certificates and Marks will not be awarded after this date with respect to the withdrawn British Standard However such Certificates and Marks, already awarded, may continue to apply to production until July 2005 A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations Summary

finds application with IEC 1008-1:1990, was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure (UAP) for acceptance as a European Standard simultaneously with the UAP on prEN 61008-1 As the UAP on prEN 61008-1, 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 61008-1, no changes to IEC 1008-2-1 were necessary and the document was submitted to the formal vote The new draft was approved by CENELEC as EN 61008-2-1 on 1994-03-08 The following dates were fixed: 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 by CENELEC as amendment A11 to EN

standards (dow) 2000-07-01 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 61008-1:1994 — latest date by which the
