A. Determination of short-circuit power factor
B. Determination of clearances and creepage distances
C. Test sequences and number of samples to be submitted
    for certification purposes
D. Coordination of circuit-breakers with separate fuses
    associated in the same circuit
E. Special requirements for auxiliary circuits for
    safety extra-low voltage
F. Examples of terminals
G. Void
H. Arrangement for the detection of the emission of
    ionized gases during short-circuit tests
ZA. Classification of circuit-breakers into energy
    limiting classes
ZB. Guide for the selection of circuit breakers with
    reference to their rated voltage

Applies to a.c. air break circuit breakers for operation at 50 Hz aor 60 Hz with rated voltage not exceeding 440V (between phases), a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated short circuit capacity not exceeding 25,000 A. These circuit breakers are designed for protection against overcurrents of wiring installations of buildings, they are for use by uninstructed people and for not being maintained. Also covers circuit breakers with more than one rated current provided that the rating cannot be changed without use of a tool.
