1DV.1 D1 Modification to add the following paragraph and note to Clause 1:
This standard is not, by itself, generally suitable for the evaluation of the safety of
end-products, as it lacks specific requirements regarding charging, the effect of normal
loads, abnormal conditions that should be considered and the physical and
electromagnetic stresses encountered in the anticipated environment of the end-product.
NOTE Battery packs with additional features or circuitry, including integral circuitry that facilitates charging, are
considered to be end-products.
1DV.2 DR Modification to add the following paragraph to Clause 1 (Canada only):
This standard deals with the covered components used in accordance with
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.
