Overview

HD 60364-6:2016/A12:2017 is a European harmonized standard issued by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). It focuses on the verification of low-voltage electrical installations, ensuring their safety, reliability, and compliance with regulatory requirements. This document provides essential guidelines for the inspection, testing, and reporting processes that must be followed before electrical installations are commissioned.

This amendment to the HD 60364-6:2016 standard was approved in May 2017 and is mandatory for CENELEC members, which include national electrotechnical committees across Europe. The standard supports the harmonization of electrical installation verification procedures to maintain consistent safety and quality standards.

Key Topics

• Scope of Verification
  The standard mandates thorough verification processes for low-voltage electrical installations, consisting of:

  • Inspection of installation design and construction.
  • Electrical testing of circuits and components.
  • Detailed reporting to document compliance and safety.

• Compliance and Safety Requirements
  Verification is an essential step before commissioning an electrical installation. It validates adherence to:

  • National legislation on electrical safety.
  • CENELEC internal regulations for standardized verification.
  • Relevant safety executive orders, such as Denmark’s Executive Order no. 1082/2016.

• Responsibilities and Procedures
  The standard highlights the obligations of installers, owners, and authorized contractors, including:

  • Performing verification immediately after installation completion.
  • Maintaining records of verification for quality control and future reference.
  • Periodic inspection requirements for temporary installations, particularly in Denmark where inspections must occur every three months for installations lasting longer than 3 months.

• Amendment Specifics (A12:2017)
  Amendment A12 introduces modifications including deviations applicable in specific countries (e.g., Denmark), detailing:

  • The application of national safety executive orders alongside European standards.
  • Special conditions for work categories exempt from verification.
  • Enhanced reporting and documentation requirements.

Applications

HD 60364-6:2016/A12:2017 is crucial for professionals involved in the design, installation, and maintenance of low-voltage electrical systems, including:

• Electrical Installers and Contractors
  Ensures installations are verified prior to commissioning, safeguarding against defects and hazards.

• Safety Inspectors and Certifying Bodies
  Provides a clear framework for conducting inspections and issuing conformance reports.

• Facility Managers and Owners
  Helps in maintaining legal compliance and operational safety of electrical installations over their lifecycle.

• Regulatory Authorities
  Supports enforcement of consistent verification practices across different jurisdictions within Europe.

This standard is essential for managing risks associated with electrical shock, fire hazards, and operational failures in residential, commercial, and industrial low-voltage electrical installations.

Related Standards

HD 60364-6:2016/A12:2017 is part of the broader HD 60364 series, which covers fundamental requirements for low-voltage electrical installations, including:

• HD 60364-1: General definitions and principles.
• HD 60364-4: Protection for safety.
• HD 60364-5: Selection and erection of electrical equipment.
• HD 60364-7: Requirements for special installations or locations.

Additionally, it complements national standards that may impose further specific requirements, such as Denmark's Executive Order no. 1082/2016 for verification obligations.

---

Adherence to HD 60364-6:2016/A12:2017 ensures that low-voltage electrical installations meet stringent safety verification criteria, promoting uniformity across Europe and protecting lives and property from electrical hazards. This standard is a critical resource for electrical safety professionals committed to excellence and compliance in installation verification processes.
