Erluterungen zum Entwurf

Die von IEC TC 65 ausgearbeitete Internationale Norm wurde als Entwurf zu einer Europischen Norm
EN 61010-2-201:2011 den CENELEC-Mitgliedern zur Abstimmung vorgelegt. Im Falle eines positiven
Abstimmungsergebnisses im Sinne der CEN/CENELEC-Regeln wird dieser Entwurf zu einer EN fhren.
Wie alle Mitgliedsorganisationen von CENELEC ist der OVE grundstzlich verpflichtet, Europische Normen
in das nationale Normenwerk zu bernehmen und entgegenstehende Normen zurckzuziehen.
Der OVE legt hiermit diesen Entwurf eines europischen Normungsdokumentes der ffentlichkeit zur
Information und Stellungnahme als VE/NORM-Entwurf vor.
Da eine bersetzung in die deutsche Sprache zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht vorhanden ist, wird um die
von CENELEC vorgegebene Einspruchsfrist einzuhalten die englischsprachige Fassung
des IEC 65/484/CDV zur Information und Stellungnahme vorgelegt.

Introductory note

l'attention de tous les rviseurs de la

CEI 61010-2-201:

To all IEC 61010-2-201 reviewers:

Le prsent document associe la CEI 61010-1 et

la proposition CEI 61010-2-201. Il est possible
de cliquer sur le symbole "" dans la barre de
menu Microsoft WORD pour afficher
alternativement le texte ajout la CEI 61010-2201 (texte noir) et l'intgralit du texte combin
de la CEI 61010-1 (texte rouge) et de la
CEI 61010-2-201 (toujours en noir).
Cette fonction a pour objectif de faciliter la
rvision du prsent document par le premier
groupe de rviseurs qui doivent comprendre le
domaine d'application complet de cette nouvelle
norme, c'est--dire l'ensemble des exigences
relatives aux quipements de commande.
Garder l'esprit que seul le texte noir figurera
dans la version finale de la norme CEI 61010-2201.

IEC 61010-2-201 Safety requirements for

electrical equipment for measurement, control,
and laboratory use - Part 2-201: Particular
requirements for control equipment

This document is a combination of IEC 61010-1

and the proposed IEC 61010-2-201. If you click
the symbol on the menu bar, of Microsoft
WORD, you can alternately switch back and
forth between showing just what will be included
in IEC 61010-2-201, (black text) and the entire
combination of IEC 61010-1 (red text) the text
of IEC 61010-2-201 (again black text).
The purpose of this is to aide the review of this
document by the first set of reviewers, who need
to understand the entire scope of this new
standard, that is, what are the entire
requirements for control equipment.
Please, again, keep in mind, only the black text
will be part of the final IEC 61010-2-201
standard.
