Modification to add the following paragraph and note to Clause 1: This standard is not, by itself, generally suitable for the evaluation of the safety of end-products, as it lacks specific requirements regarding charging, the effect of normal loads, abnormal conditions that should be considered, and the physical and electromagnetic stresses encountered in the anticipated environment of the end-product.
NOTE Battery packs with additional features or circuitry, including integral circuitry that facilitates charging, are considered to be end-products.
Modification to add the following paragraph to Clause 1 (Canada only): This standard deals with the covered components used in accordance with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.
