This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2002-03-05. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 17A/617/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 62271-102, prepared by SC 17A, High-voltage
switchgear and controlgear, of IEC TC 17, Switchgear and controlgear, was submitted to the IEC-
CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 62271-102 on 2002-03-05.
This European Standard supersedes the European Standards EN 60129:1994 + A1:1994 + A2:1996 ,
EN 61129:1994 + A1:1995 and EN 61259:1994.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2003-02-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2005-03-01
This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with EN 60694:1996 to which it refers and which is
applicable, unless otherwise specified. In order to simplify the indication of corresponding requirements,
the same numbering of clauses and subclauses is used as in EN 60694. Additional subclauses are
numbered from 101.
Annexes designated "normative" are part of the body of the standard.
Annexes designated "informative" are given for information only.
In this standard, annexes A, B, C, E, F and ZA are normative and annex D is informative.
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
The numbering of the standards falling under the responsibility of IEC/SC 17A and IEC/SC 17B will apply
the following principle:
a) Common standards prepared by SC 17A and SC 17C will start with IEC 62271-001;
b) Standards of SC 17A will start with IEC 62271-100;
c) Standards of SC 17C will start with IEC 62271-200;
d) Guides prepared by SC 17A and SC 17C will start with IEC 62271-300.
