published parts provides for ease of future amendments and revisions Additional requirements will be added as and when a need for them is recognized This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1, specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which the tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements, as necessary All parts which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and, therefore, not include references to each other Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard by the phrase ”The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply”, this phrase is interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of part apply,
