(informative)

A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside
the competence of the CENELEC national member.
This European Standard falls under Directives 2014/30/EU, 2014/35/EU and 2014/53/EU.
NOTE (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2:2015, 2.16)  Where standards fall under EC Directives or
Regulations, it is the view of the Commission of the European Communities (OJ No C 59, 1982-03-09) that the
effect of the decision of the Court of Justice in case 815/79 Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980,
p. 3583) is that compliance with A-deviations is no longer mandatory and that the free movement of products
complying with such a standard should not be restricted within the EC except under the safeguard procedure
provided for in the relevant Directive or Regulation.
A-deviations in an EFTA-country are valid instead of the relevant provisions of the European Standard
in that country until they have been removed.
Clause Deviation
10.201 Denmark (Heavy Current Regulations, Chapter 6)
In Denmark PELV is not allowed in bath zones in residence buildings.
In Denmark protection against contacts is always required for SELV circuits in bath zones in
residence buildings. Furthermore, the maximum allowed SELV voltage is 12 V a.c. or 30 V d.c. in
these areas.
