Overview

HD 60364-6:2016/A11:2017 is a CENELEC harmonization amendment to HD 60364-6:2016 that establishes verification requirements for low-voltage electrical installations. The amendment clarifies verification procedures, documents special national conditions (Annex ZB) and lists national deviations (Annex ZC) that affect implementation across CENELEC member countries. Key objectives are to support safety, regulatory compliance and consistent testing practice for installers, inspectors and owners.

Key Topics

• Verification scope: Procedures cover insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, protective device effectiveness and documentation of verification results.
• National special conditions (Annex ZB): Normative provisions address country-specific practices such as additional tests in Ireland to detect erroneous circuit connections and national minimum insulation or documentation requirements in several states.
• A-deviations (Annex ZC): Informative list of national deviations where legal or regulatory provisions supersede the harmonized text (for example, France requires initial and periodic verifications by law).
• RCD verification: The amendment references the use of RCD test equipment (EN 61557-6) and records differing national procedures: e.g., UK verification procedures for AC RCCBs/RCBOs (visual checks plus trip tests at defined currents and times), and Norway/Sweden requirements to verify the RCD TEST button or permit visual inspection only.
• Insulation values and length considerations: Some national conditions modify minimum insulation resistance values (e.g., Spain specifies 0.5 MΩ for circuits up to 500 V and provides guidance where wiring lengths exceed defined limits).
• Documentation and implementation dates: The European foreword sets national implementation deadlines and highlights that some annexes may be replaced by national annexes with required minima.

Applications

HD 60364-6:2016/A11:2017 is directly useful for:

• Electrical contractors and installers implementing verification on new or altered low-voltage installations.
• Inspection bodies and auditors preparing verification reports and managing national documentation requirements.
• Asset owners and facility managers who must ensure compliance with national verification obligations and maintain records.
• Regulators and standards committees harmonizing national rules with CENELEC requirements.

Benefits include improved safety, harmonized verification practices, clearer national deviations, and practical guidance on RCD and insulation testing.

Related Standards

• IEC/HD 60364-6:2016 (base document) – verification of low-voltage installations
• EN 61557-6 – RCD test instruments and test methods (referenced for RCD verification)
• EN 61008 / EN 61009 – RCCB and RCBO product standards (referenced for device characteristics)

This amendment is a harmonization document produced by CLC/TC 64 and should be applied in conjunction with national regulations and any applicable country-specific annexes.

Add the following new annexes:
Annex ZB
(normative)
Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a
long period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.
NOTE  If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the Harmonization Document.
For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.
Clause Special national condition
6.4.3.1 Ireland
The following additional test is made to verify erroneous connections between circuits:

For each circuit, its protective device is disconnected and a test voltage in accordance
with Table 6.1 applied between the line conductors of that circuit and the line
conductors of the other circuits.
6.4.3.2 Sweden
Replace the first paragraph of the clause with:
An electrical continuity test shall be made on:
6.4.3.2 Germany
Ring circuits are not applicable.
6.4.3.3 Spain
The minimum insulation resistance for circuits up to and including 500 V is 0,5 MΩ.
6.4.3.3 Spain
The insulation values given in Table 6.1 are designed for an installation in which the
total length of the wiring systems, irrespective of the number of conductors it contains,
does not exceed 100 m. Where the length of the wiring systems exceeds such a value
and the installation may be divided, by isolation, into segments of approximately
100 m, each of the parts in which the installation has been divided shall comply with
the relevant minimum insulation resistance.
Where it is not possible to divide the installation as indicated above, the insulation
resistance value of the entire installation may, with respect to the corresponding
minimum, be inversely proportional to the overall length, in hectometres, of the wiring
systems.
6.4.3.6 Finland; Sweden
The verification of polarity may be achieved by inspection only.
