IEC/EN 60204-1 is used along with specific standards that are considered applicable to components or features of machinery. The collateral standards confirm the safe intended use of the machinery based on the risk assessment of the manufacturer. The following list shows examples of machines whose electrical equipment should conform to IEC 60204.
What is the iaiec 60204 standard?
IEC 60204 is applicable to the electrical equipment or parts of the electrical equipment that operate with nominal supply voltages not exceeding 1000 V for alternating current (AC) and not exceeding 1500 V for direct current (DC) and with nominal supply frequencies not exceeding 200 Hz.
What is the difference between EN 60204-1 and ISO 81346?
EN 60204-1 is known as a B-standard, so it makes no sense for a manufacturer to indicate that he ‘complies with the standard’. EN 60204-1 indicates various options to be stated, and this is done e.g. by using Annex B including in total 13 items. The standard ISO/IEC 81346-1 (2009) is a combination of ISO TS 16952-1 (2005) and IEC 61346 (1996).
What do you need to know about the IEC standards?
Standards Documentation for Purchase. The IECEx System is based on the use of International Standards, such as IEC Standards. These Standards are dedicated to the highly specialised fields associated with the use of equipment, termed Ex equipment, and installations in areas where a potential may exist of fire or explosion.
