This part of IEC 61800, which is a product standard, specifies requirements and makes
recommendations for the design and development, integration and validation of safety-related
encoder (Encoder(SR)) in terms of their functional safety considerations, electrical safety and
environmental conditions. It applies to Encoder(SR), being sensors as part of a PDS(SR).
NOTE 1 The term "integration" refers to the Encoder(SR) itself, not to its incorporation into the safety-related
application.
This document can also be referred to and used for Encoder(SR) in any other safety-related
application, for example safety-related position monitoring.
NOTE 2 This document specifies only complementary functional safety, electrical safety and environmental condition
requirements that are not clearly provided by other parts of the IEC 61800 series.
This document is applicable where functional safety of an encoder is claimed and the
Encoder(SR) is operating mainly in the high demand or continuous mode.
NOTE 3 While low demand mode operation is possible for an Encoder(SR), this document concentrates on high
demand and continuous mode. Safety sub-functions implemented for high demand or continuous mode can also be
used in low demand mode. Requirements for low demand mode are given in IEC 61508 (all parts) [2]. Some guidance
for the estimation of average probability of dangerous failure on demand (PFDavg) value is provided in
IEC 61800-5-2:2016, Annex F.
The requirements of IEC 61800-5-2:2016 for PDS(SR) apply to Encoder(SR) as applicable. This
document includes additional or different requirements for Encoder(SR). It sets out safetyrelated
considerations of Encoder(SR) in terms of the framework of IEC 61508 (all parts), and
introduces requirements for Encoder(SR) as subsystems of a safety-related system. It is
intended to facilitate the realisation of the electrical/electronic/programmable electronic
(E/E/PE) and mechanical parts of an Encoder(SR) in relation to the safety performance of safety
sub-function(s) of an Encoder(SR).
Manufacturers and suppliers of Encoder(SR) will, by using the normative requirements of this
document, indicate to users (system integrator, original equipment manufacturer) the safety
performance of the Encoder(SR). This will facilitate the incorporation of Encoder(SR) into
safety-related control systems using the principles of IEC 61508 (all parts), and possibly its
specific sector implementations (for example IEC 61511 (all parts) [3], IEC 61513 [4],
IEC 62061 [5] or ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 (see Clause 2).
By applying the requirements from this document, the corresponding requirements of
IEC 61508 (all parts) that are necessary for an Encoder(SR) are fulfilled.
This document does not specify requirements for:
• the functional properties of an Encoder(SR) without any safety relevance;
• the hazard and risk analysis of a particular application;
• the identification of safety sub-functions for that application;
• the initial allocation of SILs to those safety sub-functions;
• the driven equipment except for interface arrangements;
• secondary hazards (for example from failure in a production or manufacturing process);
• the Encoder(SR) manufacturing process;
• the validity of signals and commands to the Encoder(SR); and
• security aspects (e.g. cyber security or Encoder(SR) security of access).
NOTE 4 The functional safety requirements of an Encoder(SR) are dependent on the application, and can be
considered as a part of the overall risk assessment of the installation. Where the supplier of the Encoder(SR) is not
responsible for the driven equipment, the installation designer is responsible for the risk assessment, and for
specifying the functional and safety integrity requirements of the Encoder(SR).
This document applies to Encoder(SR) implementing safety sub-functions with a SIL not greater
than SIL 3.
This document provides additional information for Encoder(SR) claiming

This part of IEC 62271 applies to the procedures for handling of gases and gas mixtures for insulation and/or switching during installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, normal and abnormal operations and disposal at the end-of-life of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
These procedures are regarded as minimum requirements to ensure the reliability of electric power equipment, the safety of personal working with these gases and gas mixtures and to minimize the impact on the environment. Additional requirements could be given or specified in the operating instruction manual of the manufacturer.
For each gas or gas mixture, which is known to be used in electric power equipment at the date of the publication of this document, a separate annex describes specifications, handling procedures, safety measures, etc. For gases or gas mixtures not covered by these annexes the electric power equipment manufacturer should provide the information needed, following the structure of these annexes. Such gases or gas mixtures should also be described in a next edition or in amendments to this edition.
NOTE 1 For the use of this document, high-voltage (HV) is defined as the rated voltage above 1 000 V. However, the term medium-voltage (MV) is commonly used for distribution systems with voltages above 1 kV and generally applied up to and including 52 kV.
NOTE 2 Throughout this standard, the term "pressure" stands for "absolute pressure".
NOTE 3 Reference is also made to (Cigré Brochure 802, 2020).
NOTE 4 For further details on gases, e.g. ecotoxicology, also refer to the chemical database ECHA (www.echa.europa.eu), which takes the actual volume band into consideration.
NOTE 5 When reference to circuit-breakers is made, only gas circuit-breakers are of interest. When vacuum circuit breakers are of interest, they are explicitly mentioned.

This part of EN 50152 specifies requirements for prefabricated metal-enclosed traction switchgear for alternating current of traction voltages and frequencies as specified in EN 50163:2004 and used in indoor and outdoor installation. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation.
NOTE 1 EN 50163 specifies the a.c. traction systems 15 kV 16,7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz
NOTE 2 This standard applies to single-phase or two-phase systems.
For metal-enclosed traction switchgear containing gas-filled compartments, the design pressure is limited to a maximum of 300 kPa (relative pressure).
NOTE 3 EN 62271-203 can be used as a guide for design and testing in case the design pressure of gas-filled compartments exceeds 300 kPa (relative pressure).
Components contained in metal-enclosed traction switchgear are to be designed and tested in accordance with their various relevant standards. This document supplements the standards for the individual components regarding their installation in traction switchgear assemblies.
This document does not preclude that other equipment may be included in the same enclosure. In such a case, any possible influence of that equipment on the traction switchgear is to be taken into account.
NOTE 5 Switchgear and controlgear assemblies having an insulation enclosure are covered by EN 62271-201. For definition see there or IEV 441-12-06.

This European Standard covers d.c. metal-enclosed and non-metallic enclosed switchgear
assemblies used in indoor stationary installations of traction systems, with nominal voltage
not exceeding 3 000 V.
It is intended that individual items of equipment, for example circuit breakers, housed in the
assembly are designed, manufactured and individually tested (simulating the enclosure when
necessary) in accordance with their respective parts of EN 50123 or, when appropriate, with
another applicable standard.
NOTE 1 The requirements covered in this European Standard are those concerning the assembly as such, its
enclosure and the mutual influence of the equipment enclosed.
NOTE 2 EMC requirements are covered by EN 50121-5 and additional requirements concerning dependability
(RAMS) are covered by EN 50126.
