CEI EN IEC 61293 PDF

This International Standard establishes minimum requirements and general rules on marking electric equipment with ratings and other characteristics to enable the proper and safe selection and installation of electric equipment related to any supply of electricity.

The object of this document is to:

• provide general requirements for the marking of the characteristics related to any supply system, such as voltage, current, frequency and power, without any restrictions;

• provide technical committees with uniform methods for the marking of electrical ratings of products.

This document is primarily intended for application by technical committees when specifying minimum markings of ratings related to any electrical supply of equipment, sub-assemblies and components, but it is also for application by product manufacturers for marking their products.

NOTE For further markings see ISO/IEC Guide 51.

This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
