Updates of test requirements for cold tests and dielectric test affecting several TRs

To reflect most stringent requirements of all EU ROs rules, certain test requirements have to be updated.
The following will be added to section 2.b Type testing requirements in each of the subject TRs:

  • Type test requirements according to IACS UR E10 for cold test duration 16 hours minimum
  • Type test requirements according to IACS UR E10 for dielectric test in the range of  60 <Un < 65 V.

The following TRs will be updated:

AC semiconductor controllers
Battery chargers
Boiler remote level indicator
Circuit breakers (without ED)
Circuit breakers with Electronic Devices
Computers and programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
