Measuring relays and protection equipment - Part 27: Product safety requirements

IEC 60255-27:2023 specifies the product safety requirements for measuring relays and protection equipment having a rated AC voltage up to 1 000 V, or a rated DC voltage up to 1 500 V. This document specifies essential safety requirements to minimize the risk of fire and hazards caused by electric shock or injury to the user and property. This document specifies only product safety requirements; functional performance of the equipment is not covered. This document covers all the ways in which the equipment can be mounted and used in cabinets, racks and panels. This document also applies to auxiliary devices such as shunts, series resistors, transformers, auxiliary control panels, display devices, etc., that are used in conjunction with measuring relays and protection equipment and are tested together.

Measuring relays and protection equipment - Part 27: Product safety requirements

IEC 60255-27:2013 describes the product safety requirements for measuring relays and protection equipment having a rated a.c. voltage up to 1 000 V with a rated frequency up to 65 Hz, or a rated d.c. voltage up to 1 500 V. Above these limits, IEC 60664-1 is applicable for the determination of clearance, creepage distance and withstand test voltage. This standard details essential safety requirements to minimize the risk of fire and hazards caused by electric shock or injury to the user. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the removal of tables and diagrams which are from other standards and referring instead directly to the source standard; - all aspects of IEC 60255-5 have been covered and this standard will be withdrawn.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
