scope:

Section 1 effective May 1, 2007

These requirements cover capacitors rated not more than 1.0 microfarad, 85°C, 250 V, and 60 Hz that are employed in radio, television receiving, and similar appliance circuits where breakdown of the capacitor results in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

These requirements also cover gas-tube voltage surge suppressors for use in products rated not more than 250 V, and 60 Hz that are employed in radio, television receiving, and similar appliance circuits where breakdown of the voltage surge suppressor results in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

These requirements cover capacitors and suppressors intended for use in radio- and television-type appliances which conform with the requirements applicable to such equipment.

A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this Standard, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to determine that the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this Standard is maintained. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this Standard shall not be judged to comply with this Standard. Where appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this Standard.
