Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are alarm clocks, spring-driven clocks with an electrically operated winding mechanism, clocks incorporating driving means other than motors. This standard does not apply to battery-operated clocks, appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes, appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapor or gas), clocks having other functions, whether or not in combination with time indication, such as master control clocks and timers for cooking ranges, washing machines and similar appliances, clocks for 'clocking in' purposes, clocks incorporating electronic circuits only(refer to IEC 60065).
