Overview

HD 60364-7-708:2017/A11:2024 is a CENELEC harmonization amendment for low-voltage electrical installations in caravan parks, camping parks and similar locations. Published November 2024, this Amendment A11 updates Part 7‑708 of the HD 60364 series and clarifies terms, safety protections, equipment selection and energy‑efficiency measures for these special locations. CENELEC members are required to implement national versions in line with the amendment.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Terms and definitions: small additions to harmonize language (e.g., add “camping car” and “caravan holiday home”).
• Protection for safety: clarification that camping and caravan parks are to be treated as commercial premises for safety provisions.
• Selection and erection of equipment:
  • Where equipment may be exposed to water jets (washing, jet wash), select enclosures with a minimum degree of protection IPX5, or provide equivalent deflection measures. (Note: EN 60309 socket‑outlets will normally require an additional enclosure because user plugs are unlikely to be IP67.)
  • Socket‑outlet placement: locate each socket‑outlet as close as practicable to the caravan or tent pitch to reduce extension‑cable hazards across gangways.
  • Grouping limits: no more than four socket‑outlets grouped in any one enclosure.
• Energy efficiency: guidance to install data loggers in switchboards to collect and communicate energy data from each mobile home (national variations apply; some countries recommend or do not require this).
• National rules and deviations: Annex ZB (special national conditions) and Annex ZC (A‑deviations) list country‑specific requirements - e.g., SPDs, RCDs, earthing/connection rules, cable burial depths - that modify or supplement the harmonized text.

Applications and who should use it

• Electrical designers and engineers designing distribution systems and final circuits for caravan and camping sites.
• Installers and contractors implementing low‑voltage installations, enclosures and socket‑outlets on pitches.
• Site operators and facility managers ensuring safe placement of outlets, protection against water and energy monitoring.
• Manufacturers of switchboards, EN 60309 outlets and IP‑rated enclosures for camping and marina‑type applications.
• Regulators and inspectors assessing national compliance using Annex ZB/ZC for country deviations.

Related standards

• EN IEC 61439‑7 (added to the bibliography) - low‑voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies for specific applications such as camping sites.
• HD 60364 series - overarching guidance for low‑voltage electrical installations.

1 Modification to Clause 708.3, “Terms and definitions”
In 708.3.1.2, after the term “motor caravan” add “camping car”.
In 708.3.1.3, after the term “mobile home” add “caravan holiday home”.
2 Modification to Clause 708.4, “Protection for safety”
In 708.443.4, add the following Note:
“
NOTE Camping and caravan parks are considered to be commercial premises.”
3 Modification to Clause 708.5, “Selection and erection of electrical equipment”
In 708.512.2.1.101, add the following after the first paragraph:
“Where the electrical equipment may be subjected to water jets due to washing etc., equipment shall be
selected with a degree of protection of at least IPX5 in order to protect against the possibility of jets of water
from any direction (AD5), or alternative measures such as jet wash deflection barriers or screens used.
NOTE This requires an additional enclosure for EN 60309 socket-outlets, as the user’s connecting plug is unlikely to
be of the IP67 type.”
