Code for designation of colours
This document specifies letter codes for designation of colours and provides rules for their combination to designate colour combinations. The letter codes are intended to be applied in the technical documentation of electrical installations, electrical equipment and products, and in markings of electrical equipment and products. This basic safety publication focusing on safety essential requirements is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of safety publications in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. It is not intended for use by manufacturers or certification bodies. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications. This document does not specify any requirements for the encoding of colour properties, nor for their visual representation. Such requirements are under the responsibility of the different technical committees.

Code de désignation de couleurs
L'IEC 60757:2021 spécifie les codes littéraux de désignation de couleurs et donne des règles régissant leur combinaison, afin de désigner les combinaisons de couleurs. Les codes littéraux sont destinés à être appliqués dans la documentation technique des installations électriques, des équipements et produits électriques, ainsi que dans les marquages des équipements et produits électriques. La présente publication fondamentale de sécurité portant sur des exigences essentielles de sécurité est avant tout destinée à être utilisée par les comités d’études dans le cadre de l’élaboration de publications de sécurité, conformément aux principes établis dans le Guide IEC 104 et le Guide lSO/lEC 51. Elle n’est pas destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants ou les organismes de certification. L’une des responsabilités d’un comité d’études consiste, le cas échéant, à utiliser les publications fondamentales de sécurité dans le cadre de l’élaboration de ses publications. Les exigences de la présente publication fondamentale de sécurité ne s’appliquent pas tant qu’il n’y a pas été fait spécifiquement référence ou qu’elles n’ont pas été incluses dans les publications concernées. Le présent document ne spécifie pas d’exigences relatives au codage des propriétés des couleurs, ni à leur représentation visuelle. De telles exigences relèvent de la responsabilité des différents comités d’études. L'IEC 60757:2021 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1983. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) restriction des codes à des codes littéraux; b) suppression des anciennes notes superflues; c) ajout d’un paragraphe sur un élément utilisant différentes couleurs par alternance; d) ajout de l'0 avec des exemples de couleurs et leur codage RVB (rouge, vert, bleu) correspondant.
