1.4 Protection Class

Class 1: Equipment in which the protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but which includes an additional safety precaution in such a way that means are provided for the connection of accessible conductive parts to the protective conductor (Earth).

Class 2: Equipment in which the protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but in which additional safety precautions such as double insulation or reinforced insulation are provided, there being no provision for protective earthing or reliance upon installation conditions.

Section 1.4 shows the typical class 1 and class 2 device.
