scope:

This document specifies the requirements of the test procedures to be applied for recurrent tests of current-using electrical equipment and appliances for the verification of the effectiveness of the protective measures and the permissible limits for product compliance. This procedure is applicable to current-using electrical equipment connected to final circuits. They can be either pluggable equipment type A connected to final circuits at work places via a plug or permanently connected equipment, with a rated voltage above 25 V AC and 60 V DC up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC, and currents up to 63A. This document does not cover: - Test after repair defined in FprEN 50678; - type tests, routine tests, sample tests, special tests and acceptance tests for product safety nor for product functional requirements. This document does not apply to: - devices and equipment that are part of the fixed electrical installations defined in HD 60364 (all parts); - uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), photovoltaic inverters and power converters, e.g. AC/DC converters; - charging stations for electro-mobility; - stationary power supplies (generators); - programmable Logic Controllers (PLC); - power Drives; - devices for EX-zones or for mining applications in general; - products already covered by standards addressing similar topics such as: - medical equipment covered by EN 60601 1. For these devices, EN 62353 applies; - arc welding equipment covered by EN 60974 1. For these devices, EN 60974 4 applies; - Machinery covered by EN 60204 1. For these devices, EN 60204 1 applies.
