  • modification of the specifications concerning the sensing range and operating distance;
  • new definitions for photoelectric proximity switch type D with background suppression;
  • integration of the requirements and test procedures of photoelectric proximity switch type D with background suppression;
  • update of EMC requirements in Table 9 and Table 10;
  • integration of environmental information requirements and environmental condition by referencing Annexes O, W and Q of IEC 60947-1:2007, IEC 60947-1:2007/AMD1:2010 and IEC 60947-1:2007/AMD2:2014;
  • modification of impulse withstand voltage test (5.3.1.3, 9.3.3.4.5);
  • modification of the references in the (normative) standard body to the (informative) Annex A;
  • major update of Annex A (definitions update, new dimensions and shapes);
