exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes, for use either indoors or
outdoors.
This document covers safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements for plugs
and socket-outlets incorporating electronic components to perform additional functions.
Addition after the third paragraph:
The rated current is limited to 16 A maximum for accessories incorporating electronic
components which control the output.

This document applies to plugs and socket-outlets incorporating electronic components for use
at ambient temperature not normally exceeding +25 °C but occasionally reaching +35 °C with
a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C.
Add the following paragraph after the eighth paragraph:
Functional safety aspects are not covered by this document.
Add the following paragraphs after the last paragraph:
This document gives additional tests and requirements for accessories incorporating electronic
components for additional functions that control the output of the accessory, see Annex AA
(Normative).
This document gives additional tests and requirements for accessories incorporating electronic
components for additional functions being powered by the accessory which do not control the
output, see Annex BB (Normative).

This document gives additional tests and requirements for accessories incorporating electronic
components for additional functions that operate as a protection means, see Annex CC
(Normative).
