This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type)
motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use
in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards
applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the
most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage
being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor-
compressors.
This standard also covers 
– multi-speed motor-compressors, that are motor-compressors, the speed of which can
be set to different values;
– variable capacity motor-compressors, that are motor-compressors where the capacity
of the compressor is controlled at fixed speeds. 
NOTE 101 Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are
– refrigerators, food freezers and ice makers (IEC 60335-2-24);
– air-conditioners, electric heat pumps and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75);
– factory-built assemblies for transferring heat in applications for refrigerating, air-conditioning or heating purposes or a combination of such purposes.
This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular
appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type
used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the
particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or
assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular
appliance control system, additional tests may be necessary on the final appliance.
