This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This International Standard deals with the safety of UV radiation water treatment appliances for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.

• the use of the appliance by young children and very young children;

• the use of the appliance by older children without supervision.

It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this standard.

NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that

• for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary;
