Telecommunications bonding networks for buildings and other structures
To revise EN 50310:2010 in the light of the recent developments at ISO/IEC JTC 1 level. (EN 50310 was offered to JTC 1 and triggered the first internationally harmonized ISO/IEC deliverable).
Telekommunikationstechnische Potentialausgleichsanlagen für Gebäude und andere Strukturen
Application de liaison équipotentielle et de la mise à la terre dans les locaux avec équipement de technologie de l'information
Izenačitev potencialov in ozemljevanje v stavbah z opremo informacijske tehnologije
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in podaja priporočila za načrtovanje in
namestitev priključkov (spojev) med različnimi električno prevodnimi elementi v stavbah in drugih konstrukcijah med njihovo izgradnjo ali obnovo z namenom namestitve informacijske tehnologije (IT) in na splošno telekomunikacijske opreme, da bi:
a) zmanjšali tveganje električnih nevarnosti za pravilno delovanje tovrstne opreme in kabelske povezave na najnižjo raven;
b) zagotovili namestitev telekomunikacijske opreme z zanesljivo signalno referenco, ki lahko izboljša odpornost proti elektromagnetnim motnjam (EMI).
Zahteve tega evropskega standarda se uporabljajo za stavbe in druge konstrukcije v območjih, ki so obravnavana v standardu EN 50174-2 (npr. stanovanjski, poslovni, industrijski in podatkovni centri), vendar
so lahko informacije iz tega evropskega standarda v pomoč pri drugih vrstah stavb in
konstrukcij.
OPOMBA: Telekomunikacijski centri (upravljalne stavbe) so obravnavani v standardu ETSI/EN 300 253. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za distribucijo napajanja z napetostjo prek 1000 V pri izmeničnem toku. Zahteve za elektromagnetno združljivost (EMC) in varnostne zahteve za napajalno inštalacijo niso zajete v tem evropskem standardu, temveč so obravnavane v drugih standardih in predpisih. Vendar informacije v tem evropskem standardu lahko pripomorejo k izpolnjevanju zahtev teh standardov in predpisov.

European foreword
This document (EN 50310:2016) was prepared by the CLC/TC 215, “Electrotechnical aspects of
telecommunication equipment”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2017–04–11
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2019–04–11
conflicting with this document have to
be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50310:2010.
In 2012, EN 50310:2010 had been offered to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25 “Interconnection of information
technology equipment” as input to the agreed project to seek global harmonization of the technical
requirements for telecommunications bonding networks. This project, ISO/IEC 30129, has been
finished successfully. Thus, TC 215 decided to transpose ISO/IEC 30129 into the fourth edition of
EN 50310 with minimal editorial changes to fit European needs. In this context, also the title of
EN 50310 has been changed to adopt the title of ISO/IEC 30129.
EN 50310 has been produced within the framework of the following considerations.
a) With the ongoing growth of the liberalised telecommunication market, the increasing advent of
private telecommunication network operators, and the flourishing use of networking computers,
the amount of Information Technology equipment installed in buildings and the complexity of
these Information Technology installations are permanently growing.
b) Information Technology equipment is generally installed either as stand-alone equipment (e.g.
personal or network computers, small PBXs), or held in racks, cabinets or other mechanical
structures (e.g. switching systems, transmission systems, mobile base stations).
c) CENELEC/SC 64B „Electrical installations and protection against electric shock – Protection
against thermal effects“ had decided during their meeting in November 1997 not to harmonize
IEC 60364-5-548:1996 “Electrical installations of buildings – Part 5: Selection and erection of
electrical equipment – Section 548: Earthing arrangements and equipotential bonding for
information technology installations”.
d) This European Standard shall give guidance to network operators, equipment providers and
building owners to agree on a standardized bonding configuration that facilitates:
– compliance of the Information Technology Equipment installation with functional requirements
including Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) aspects of emission and immunity,
– compatible building installation and equipment provisions,
– installation of new equipment in buildings as well as expansion or replacement of installations
in existing buildings with equipment coming from different suppliers,
– a structured installation practice,
– simple maintenance rules,
– contracting on a common basis,
– harmonization in development, manufacturing, installation and operation.
Introduction
This European Standard
1) specifies assessment criteria to determine the relevant bonding configurations that are
appropriate,
2) enables the implementation of any bonding configurations that may be necessary by means of
either
– the provision of a bonding network that utilizes the existing protective bonding network for
electrical safety, or
– the provision of a dedicated bonding network for the telecommunications infrastructure.
This standard is intended for
• building architects, owners and managers,
• designers and installers of electrical and telecommunications cabling installations.
Users of this standard should be familiar with all applicable cabling design and installation standards.
Figure 1 and Table 1 show the schematic and contextual relationships between the standards
produced by TC 215 for information technology cabling, namely:
• installation specification, quality assurance, planning and installation practices (EN 50174 series);
• generic cabling design (EN 50173 series);
• application dependent cabling design (e.g. EN 50098 series);
• testing of installed cabling (EN 50346);
• this European Standard (EN 50310).
