I think you are correct. These applications refer to IEC 61140 Class I and Class II. The documents should use Roman numerals (I, II) not Arabic (1, 2) but in the UK it is quite common (although incorrect) to use Arabic. We don't recognise the NEC circuit classes so there is little chance of confusion.
