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" Regards, John Crabb, Development Excellence (Product Safety) , NCR Financial Solutions Group Ltd., Kingsway West, Dundee, Scotland.
