    прибор класса 0
    Прибор, в котором защита от поражения электрическим током обеспечивается только основной изоляцией; это означает, что отсутствуют средства для присоединения проводящих доступных частей, если такие имеются, к защитному проводу в стационарной проводке установки. В случае повреждения основной изоляции защита от поражения электрическим током возлагается на окружающую среду.
    Примечание. Приборы класса 0 имеют кожух из изоляционного материала, который может составлять часть или всю основную изоляцию, либо металлический кожух, который отделен от токоведущих частей соответствующей изоляцией. Если прибор с кожухом из изоляционного материала имеет заземляющее устройство для внутренних частей, он считается прибором класса I или класса 01.

    class 0 appliance
    appliance in which protection against electric shock relies upon basic insulation only, there being no means for the connection of conductive accessible parts, if any, to the protective conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation, reliance in the event of a failure of the basic insulation being placed upon the environment
    NOTE - Class 0 appliances have either an enclosure of insulating material which may form a part or the whole of the basic insulation, or a metal enclosure which is separated from live parts by an appropriate insulation. If an appliance with an enclosure of insulating material has provision for earthing internal parts, it is considered to be a class I appliance or class 0I appliance.

    appareil de la classe 0
    appareil dans lequel la protection contre les chocs électriques repose uniquement sur l'isolation principale, ceci impliquant qu'aucune disposition n'existe pour la connexion des parties conductrices accessibles éventuelles à un conducteur de protection des canalisations fixes de l'installation, la protection en cas de défaut de l'isolation principale reposant sur l'environnement
    NOTE - Les appareils de la classe 0 ont soit une enveloppe en matière isolante qui peut former tout ou partie de l'isolation principale soit une enveloppe métallique qui est séparée des parties actives par une isolation appropriée. Si un appareil pourvu d'une enveloppe en matière isolante comporte des dispositions en vue de la mise à la terre des parties internes, il est considéré comme étant un appareil de la classe I ou un appareil de la classe 0I.
