General safety requirements for residual current operated protective devices
IEC 60775:2017(E) provides general minimum requirements, recommendations and information for the drafting of standards on residual current operated protective devices (hereinafter referred to as residual current devices, "RCDs"). It applies to any device providing residual current protection intended primarily for protection against electric shock hazard.This first edition cancels and replaces IEC TR 60755 published in 2008 and constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC TR 60755:a. restructuration of the document, as a Group Safety Publication, in compliance with Guide 104;b. introduction of classification for type F RCDs;c. introduction of Clause 9 for tests of RCDs (operating characteristics, electrical endurance, behaviour in short-circuit conditions, trip-free mechanism, test device, surges, reliability, EMC).It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

General requirements for residual current operated protective devices
The requirements of this technical report apply to residual current operated protective devices (hereinafter referred to as "residual current devices" (RCD)) for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c., intended primarily for protection against shock hazard. They are intended to be used by technical committees when drafting product standards and apply only if they are incorporated or are referred to in the relevant standards. This report is not intended to be used as a stand-alone standard, for example, for certification. IEC 60755 has been revised in order to align the previous version with the latest editions of IEC 61008, IEC 61009, IEC 62423 and IEC 60947-2. This second edition of IEC 60755 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1983.
