1. No, Class III shall not contain hazardous voltages irrespective of safety measures or means provided to prevent access. 5 S& I5 @9 s* j2. Only Class ll equipment needs to be identified as such. Any other equipment needs no classification. Subassemblies need not be classified.% X% C3 T, _1 Z* c$ E
3. A class III equipment can contain unclassified subassemblies, provided that they do not generate hazardous voltages in the particular application.2 n q$ ~! @4 t v/ ~

2. Some equipment used for telecommunication, example radio base stations, are supplied by batteries or power supplies supplying non hazardous voltages. However they do generate hazardous voltages inside. If the equipment fulfill all requirements in the standard but does not fit in any class it can be unclassified.( K7 U" Q, m0 B+ S' K' }
