Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-1: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Electromechanical control circuit devices

IEC 60947-5-1:2016 applies to control circuit devices and switching elements intended for controlling, signalling, interlocking, etc., of switchgear and controlgear. It applies to control circuit devices having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. (at a frequency not exceeding 1 000 Hz) or 600 V d.c. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2003 and its Amendment 1:2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) update of normative references; b) update and restructuration of subclauses in 7.1; c) addition of material requirements and test; d) udpate of EMC requirements; e) clarification of requirements and update of 8.2; f) addition of requirements for screwless-type clamping units; g) udpate of existing Tables 4 and 5; h) addition of new Tables 6, 7, 8 and 9; i) addition of a new Figure 10 ; j) addition of a new Annex N. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60947-1:2007. The contents of the corrigendum of July 2016 and the corrigendum of April 2020 have been included in this copy.

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.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
