scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 14763 specifies requirements for the planning, installation and operation of cabling and cabling infrastructures (including cabling, pathways, spaces, earthing and bonding) in support of generic cabling standards and associated documents. The following aspects are addressed - specification of the installation, - quality assurance, - installation planning, - installation practice, - documentation, - administration, - testing, - inspection, - operation, - maintenance, - repair. The requirements of clauses 5 to 14 of this standard are premises-independent and may be amended by the requirements of premises-specific Annexes. This part of ISO/IEC 14763 excludes - specific requirements applicable to other cabling systems (e.g. mains power cabling); however, it takes account of the effects other cabling systems may have on the installation of information technology cabling (and vice versa) and gives general advice, - those aspects of installation associated with the transmission of signals in free space between transmitters, receivers or their associated antenna systems (e.g. wireless, radio, microwave or satellite). This standard is applicable to certain hazardous environments but does not exclude additional requirements which are applicable in particular circumstances (e.g. electricity supply and electrified railways). Safety (electrical safety and protection, optical power, fire, etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this international standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, information given in this international standard may be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.
