The A deviation for Sweden is in the current issue of EN 60950,
and is also in the latest version of EN60950 (not yet issued, 
equivalent to IEC 60950 third edition).

I note that the latest version of EN 60950 also has the same note
re switches containing mercury, as an A Deviation for Switzerland,
with the reference "Ordinance on environmentally hazardous 
substances SR 814.013, Annex 3.2, Mercury"
