scope:

Applies to fixed inductors for electromagnetic interference suppression which fail within the scope of the Generic specification EN 138.000. The scope of this specification is restricted to fixed inductors for which safety tests are appropriate. This implies that inductors specified according to this specification will either be connected to mains supplies, when compliance with the mandatory tests of Table 1 is necessary, or used in other circuit positions where the equipment specification prescribes that some or all of these safety tests are required.
