Overview

HD 60364-7-709:2009/A1:2012 is a CENELEC harmonization document and IEC amendment focused on low‑voltage electrical installations for marinas and similar locations. It amends HD 60364-7-709:2009 (IEC 60364-7-709) to clarify and update requirements tailored to the wet, corrosive and variable‑load environments of boat berths, pontoons and marina shore‑power installations. The amendment (A1) was approved in 2012 and is binding for CENELEC members unless national deviations apply.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Requirements for special installations or locations - specifically marinas and analogous locations where boats connect to shore power.
• Residual current protective devices (RCDs): The amendment updates RCD protection rules for socket‑outlets:
  • Every socket‑outlet with a rated current up to 63 A shall be individually protected by an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA, and the RCD must disconnect all poles including the neutral.
  • Every socket‑outlet with a rated current above 63 A shall be individually protected by an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 300 mA, also disconnecting all poles including the neutral.
  • Selectivity considerations (e.g., Type S RCDs) should be taken into account to ensure coordination between upstream and downstream protection.
• Harmonization and national conditions: Annex ZA/ZB describe special national conditions and permitted deviations (examples include Germany, The Netherlands, Spain) that affect implementation at national level.
• Safety focus areas: While the amendment explicitly revises RCD requirements, the standard set addresses broader marina safety topics such as protection against electric shock, earthing and bonding practices, and installation rules suited to marine environments.

Practical applications

• Designing and specifying shore‑power outlets, distribution boards and berth socket‑outlets in marinas, yacht clubs and ports.
• Electrical installation and commissioning in boat berths, floating pontoons and marina service pedestals where residual current protection and pole‑disconnection requirements are critical.
• Creating procurement specs for RCDs and protective devices to meet marina safety requirements and ensure selectivity.
• Compliance checks, safety inspections and acceptance testing by marina owners, electrical contractors and certification bodies.

Who uses this standard

• Electrical designers and consulting engineers for marine and waterfront projects
• Installation contractors and electricians working on berths and shore power
• Marina operators, port authorities and facility managers
• Manufacturers and suppliers of RCDs, shore‑power equipment and distribution units
• National standards bodies implementing CENELEC/IEC requirements

Related standards

• Other parts of the IEC/HD 60364 series covering general low‑voltage installation rules and other special locations.
• National electrical regulations and maritime port construction standards that may reference or deviate from HD 60364‑7‑709.
