scope:

This standard applies to fixed inductors designed for electromagnetic interference suppression and which fall within the scope of the Generic specification, IEC 60938-1. It is restricted to fixed inductors for which electrical shock hazard protection 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.
