This document specifies the requirements of the test procedures to be applied for recurrent tests of current-using electrical equipment and appliances for the verification of the effectiveness of the protective measures and the permissible limits<\/p>\n
This procedure is applicable to current-using electrical equipment connected at work places to final circuits with a rated voltage above 25 V AC and 60 V DC up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC, and currents up to 63 A. They can be either pluggable equipment type A connected to final circuits at work places via a plug or permanently connected equipment.<\/p>\n
This document assumes that the current-using equipment or appliances under consideration complies with its related product standard, has been introduced on the market and is in use.<\/p>\n
This document does not cover:<\/p>\n
tests after repair defined in EN 50678;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
type tests, routine tests, sample tests, special tests and acceptance tests for product safety nor for product functional requirements.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nNOTE 1 type tests, routine tests, sample tests, special tests and acceptance tests are usually defined in product standards. This document does not replace tests covered by product standards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
