1.2 This Part 2 applies to door locks with a nominal voltage not exceeding 660 V and a nominal current not exceeding 63 A.

1.3 This Part 2 does not take into account the response value of an automatic action of a door lock, if such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the door lock in the equipment. Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate household equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer shall apply.
