MARKING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
WITH RATINGS RELATED TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY -
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
FOREWORD
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
1)
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
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. The 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 the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
5)
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
International Standard IEC 1293 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 16:
Terminal markings and other identifications.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

MARKING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
WITH RATINGS RELATED TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY -
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes minimum requirements (see note 1) and general
rules on marking electrical equipment (see note 2) with ratings and other characteristics to
enable the proper and safe selection and installation of electrical equipment related to any
supply of electricity.
The object of this standard is to:
- provide general requirements for 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 basic safety publication is for general application by relevant technical committees
when specifying minimum markings of ratings related to any electrical supply of
equipment, sub-assemblies and components. Relevant technical committees may specify
additional requirements for the marking of supply characteristics.
NOTES
1 For further markings see ISO/IEC Guide 51 [1]*.
2 For the definition of electrical equipment see IEC 50(826).
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute
provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated

3.1 Basic requirements
Electrical equipment shall be marked with electrical ratings on the equipment by a suitable
method, for example, by means of name-plates or labels. This marking shall be legible,
visible and durable throughout the anticipated life of the equipment. Marking shall not be
rt of an enclosure which is intended
placed on pa rts intended to be removed, unless it is pa
to be removed to install the equipment and must be replaced (see notes 1, 2 and 3).
Some equipment has a need for marking both input and output characteristics. In such
cases consideration shall be given by the relevant techni
