Scope EN
To prepare International standards - concerning protection against electric shock arising from equipment, from installations and from systems without limit of voltage, - for the design, erection foreseeable correct use and verification of all kind of electrical installations at supply voltage up to 1 kV a.c or 1,5 kV d.c., except those installations covered by the following IEC committees: TC 9X, TC 18X, TC 44X, TC 97, TC 99X, - in co-ordination with TC 99X, concerning requirements additional to those of TC 99X for the design, erection and verification of electrical installations of buildings above 1 kV up to 35 kV. The object of the standards shall be: - to lay down requirements for installation and co-ordination of electrical equipment, - to lay down basic safety requirements for protection against electric shock for use by technical committees, - to lay down safety requirements for protection against other hazards arising from the use of electricity, - to give general guidance to IEC member countries that may have need of such requirements, and - to facilitate international exchanges that may be hampered by differences in national regulations. The standards will not cover individual items of electrical equipment other than their selection for use.
