BT, noting the discussion at CLC/BTWG 128-3 'BT Efficiency' and the feedback from ES, IT, GB and FR NCs, agreed with the updated list of exemptions from parallel procedures, thereby considering decisions D108/089, D115/205, D127/C070, D135/C280, D149/044 and D152/007 obsolete.

D91/137

BT endorsed the proposed "IEC/CLC parallel enquiry followed by a separate IEC and CEN voting" solution for documents of IEC/TC 68 "Magnetic alloys and Steels" and, invited CEN/ECISS and IEC considered endorsement of the solution.

D120/176

D128/C094

BT approved the CLC/SC 46XA recommendation not to ratify prEN 62153-4-5:2005 (PR=16564), confirming that IEC 62153-4-5 is permanently excluded from parallel procedures to avoid overlapping with the current EN 50289-1-6 "Communication cables - Specifications for test methods - Part 1-6: Electrical test methods - Electromagnetic performance".

D120/179

BT invited CLC/SR 68 to advise - in cooperation with the CEN ECISS/TC 108 Secretariat - on the proper allocation of any new work (incl. maintenance) started for the IEC 60404 series to either CENELEC or CEN and this in due time before the CDV stage.

D137/C046

BT noted the CLC/TC 65CX request to extend the exemption of IEC 62443 series from Parallel Voting Procedures until further notice.

D121/017

BT decided by correspondence to endorse the CLC/TC 213 proposal for the failed prEN 60981:2004 "Cable management systems - Extra-heavy duty electrical rigid steel conduits", i.e. to drop the voting results on this prEN and to exempt IEC 60981 permanently from parallel procedures. Standstill maintained.

D159/039

BT, noting the IT NC feedback regarding D108/088 and D145/C013, agreed to remove the IEC 60317-10,-111, -14, -16, -34, -41, -45 and IEC 60317-4:1994 from the list as they were withdrawn at IEC level.

D157/031

BT,

  • noting the justification in document BT157/FR1315/NCP,
  • agreed with the FR NC request -- in its capacity of Secretariat of CLC/SR 47 'Semiconductor Devices' and 47A 'Integrated Circuits' -- to permanently exempt the following standards from parallel procedure:
    • IEC 62880 series
    • IEC 63068 series
    • IEC 63011 series
  • invited CCMC to update the list accordingly.

D133/C194

BT stopped the ongoing parallel procedure on IEC 61008-1 (23E/657/CDV) (pr=21954) and IEC 61009-1 (23E/658/CDV) (pr=21955), with a view of harmonizing the IEC documents after their publication (with the needed common modifications).

D138/031

BT approved the CLC/TC 65X request to maintain the exemption from parallel procedures for IEC 62601 series until further notice.

D164/C014
