_____________

4.11 According to the type of terminals
Replace Note 3 introduced by Amendment 1 by the following new Note 3:
NOTE 3 The requirements for RCCBs equipped with this type of terminals are given in Annex L.
8.1.3 Clearances and creepage distances (see Annex B)
Replace the third paragraph of this subclause, and the modifications brought to it by
Amendment 1, as follows:
The clearances of items 2 and 4 (except accessible surface after installation, see Note 1) may
be reduced provided that the measured clearances are not shorter than the minimum allowed
in IEC 60664-1 for homogenous field conditions.
Add the following new note after the third paragraph and renumber the existing notes of this
subclause, introduced by Amendment 1, accordingly:
NOTE 1 Accessible surface after installation means any surface accessible by the user when the RCD is installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions. The test finger can be applied to determine whether a surface is
accessible or not.
8.5 Operating characteristics
Replace "9.9 and 9.21" by "9.9.1, 9.9.2, 9.9.3 and 9.9.4"
