Varnost pri električnih grelnih inštalacijah in elektromagnetni obdelavi - 1. del: Splošne zahteve

Ta del standarda IEC 60519 določa splošne varnostne zahteve za industrijske naprave ali opremo, namenjeno obdelovalnim tehnologijam za električno ogrevanje (EH) in na podlagi električnega ogrevanja ter za elektromagnetno obdelavo materialov (EPM).
Zahteve se uporabljajo za industrijske naprave ali opremo, ki se lahko uporablja kot:
– oprema za neposredno in posredno uporovno gretje,
– oprema za električne uporovne grelne trake,
– oprema za indukcijsko gretje,
– oprema, ki izkorišča učinek elektromagnetnih sil na materiale,
– oprema za obločno gretje, vključno z zakritim obločnim gretjem,
– oprema za pretaljenje pod električno prevodno žlindro,
– opremo za plazemsko gretje in površinsko obdelavo s plazmo,
– oprema za mikrovalovno gretje,
– oprema za dielektrično gretje,
– oprema, ki uporablja elektronske pištole,
– oprema za infrardeče sevalno gretje,
– oprema za lasersko gretje.
OPOMBA: Seznam predstavlja običajne primere opreme in njenih uporab ter ni izčrpen. Splošne varnostne zahteve za različne vrste opreme in naprav za električno ogrevanje ali elektromagnetno obdelavo materialov izhajajo iz skupne uporabe splošnih zahtev, opredeljenih v tem standardu, ter posebnih zahtev, ki zajemajo posebne vrste naprav ali opreme (smernice so podane v dodatku G). Če posamezne naprave ali opreme ne zajema nobena posebna zahteva, se kot take uporabljajo splošne zahteve. Ta standard se ne uporablja za opremo in naprave v okviru skupin standardov:
– IEC 60079, tj. opremo ali naprave, namenjene uporabi v potencialno eksplozivnih atmosferah;
– IEC 60335, tj. gospodinjske, komercialne in podobne električne aparate, vključno z aparati za sobno ogrevanje;
– IEC 60601, tj. medicinsko električno opremo;
– IEC 60974, tj. opremo za obločno varjenje;
– IEC 61010, tj. opremo za laboratorijsko uporabo.

SAFETY IN INSTALLATIONS FOR ELECTROHEATING
AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSING –

Part 1: General requirements
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodie
