• definitions;
• characteristics;
• information supplied with the equipment;
• normal service, mounting and transport conditions;
• constructional and performance requirements;
• verification of characteristics and performance.

Digital inputs and/or digital outputs contained in switchgear and controlgear, and intended to be compatible with programmable controllers (PLCs) are covered by Annex S.1.1DV.1 Modification to 1.1 by adding the following:
