This draft amendment prAA, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 60312-1:2017; it is submitted to CENELEC members for

enquiry.
Deadline for CENELEC: 2020-07-17.
It has been drawn up by CLC/TC 59X.

If this draft becomes an amendment, CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which

stipulate the conditions for giving this amendment the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CENELEC in three official versions (English, French, German).

A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to

the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
