According to my understanding of 950, which is much better than 65, I believe a product must be safe, "within the meaning of the standard" during unattended operation and also when unattended in so-called "off" mode.
Consequently, the status of the product when in the off mode, should be determined by the manufacturer, and the safety authorities should show little interest.

What is not clear is the definition of off. Has anyone been given a definition, preferably by a CTL member or the like?
