AS/NZS 61058.1:2020
Switches for appliances, Part 1: General requirements
Standard adopts and modifies IEC 61058-1:2016 (ED 4.0) for Australia and New Zealand, which specifies general electrical safety requirements for switch appliances provided with additional control functions governed by the switch provided with electronic circuits and devices that are necessary for the intended and/or correct operation of the switch. It does not apply to cord-line switches within the scope of AS/NZS 3127. KEYWORDS: Switch appliances; Electronic circuits; Electrical safety requirements.
