Overview

HD 60364-7-740:2006/A11:2017 is a key European standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) under the CLC/TC 64 technical committee. It specifically addresses the requirements for temporary electrical installations used in unique environments such as fairgrounds, amusement parks, circuses, and temporary structures including booths and amusement devices. This standard ensures safe and reliable electrical installations tailored to the demands of temporary setups used in public entertainment and recreational venues.

The amendment A11, published in 2017, updates and refines the original 2006 document. It mandates compliance across EU member states, with specific implementation deadlines and national variations, such as Denmark’s requirement for periodic inspections of temporary installations exceeding three months of use.

Key Topics

• Scope of Temporary Electrical Installations
  Covers electrical wiring, protection, and installation practices for temporary setups in fairgrounds, amusement devices, circuses, and portable booths.

• Safety Requirements
  Emphasizes protection against electric shock and fire hazards in environments where installations may be subjected to mechanical stress, weather, and frequent changes.

• Inspection and Maintenance
  Specifies rules for the inspection frequency and responsibilities of owners and operators, particularly in jurisdictions with additional regulations.

• Harmonization Across Europe
  Aligns national electrical safety codes with European-level standards to facilitate consistent safety practices and compliance.

• Special Provisions
  Addresses the unique challenges of movable and temporary electrical installations, like flexibility in wiring and connections, due to frequent relocation or assembly/disassembly.

---

Applications

This standard is essential for professionals managing the electrical infrastructure in:

• Fairgrounds and Carnival Events
  Safe power supply to rides, game booths, food stalls, and lighting during temporary events.

• Amusement Parks and Playgrounds
  Temporary exhibits and seasonal attractions requiring compliant electrical setups.

• Circuses and Mobile Shows
  Electrical systems for tents, stages, and performance equipment with temporary yet rigorous safety requirements.

• Temporary Booths and Market Stalls
  Powering lighting, heating, and electronic devices in short-term, outdoor commercial installations.

By following HD 60364-7-740:2006/A11:2017, operators can mitigate risks of electrical hazards, protect the public and workers, and ensure legal compliance with EU and national mandates.
