Apart from numerous small changes and clarifications, resulting from experience/enquiries over the past couple of years there were the following major items:
Requirements added covering the effect of UV on materials and people. Added detail regarding use of lasers and LEDs; Added requirements for equipment to be connected to a Cable Distribution Network (e.g. cable TV) or an antenna; Added requirements for equipment to be supplied by a d.c. mains supply (mainly, but not exclusively, large telecom equipment in a central office at 48-60 V); Deleted most of the flammability tests and refer instead to (mainly) IEC 60695. (Few technical changes involved). The above changed about half the pages in the standard, so it was decided to go for a new edition. Also, with "parts 2" coming along, it was timely to change 950 to part 1. The "Parts Two" will be for all sorts of odd ball things such as line fed equipment and large robotic data storage systems. We will continue to develop the "parts two" over the next year or so. John P.
