General procedure for verifying the effectiveness of the protective measures of electrical equipment after repair

This document specifies requirements for setting a uniform procedure to verify the effectiveness of the protective measures for current-using equipment or appliances after they have been repaired. This procedure is applicable to current-using equipment or appliances with a rated voltage above 25 V AC and 60 V DC up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC, and currents up to 63 A, connected to final circuits. They may be either pluggable equipment type A connected or permanently connected. This document is not intended to replace test covered by safety standards nor product standards, for example type tests, routine tests and acceptance tests. This document assumes that the current-using equipment or appliances under consideration complies with its related product standard, has been introduced on the market, has been in use, has failed, and has then been repaired. It intends to verify that operations for repairs have not jeopardized basic protective measures, for example to verify the continuity of the protective conductor, the withstand capability of the insulation or to verify that no metallic part is loose or is inadvertently inserted in the device. This document does not apply to: - recurrent tests defined in EN 50699; - devices and equipment that are part of the fixed electrical installations. For these, tests for verification after repair are covered by HD 60364 6; - audio/video, information and communication technology equipment; - uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS); - charging stations for electro-mobility; - power supplies; - programmable Logic Controllers (PLC); - power Drives; - devices for EX-zones or for mining applications in general; - products already covered by standards addressing similar topics such as: - medical equipment covered by EN 60601 1. For these devices, tests for verification after repair are covered by EN 62353; - arc welding equipment covered by EN IEC 60974 1. For these devices, tests for verification after repair are covered by EN 60974 4. - machinery covered by EN 60204-1. For these devices, EN 60204-1 applies.

Allgemeines Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Wirksamkeit der Schutzmaßnahmen von Elektrogeräten nach der Reparatur

Procédure générale visant à vérifier l'efficacité des mesures de protection des équipements électriques après réparation

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la définition d'une procédure uniforme visant à vérifier l'efficacité des mesures de protection pour les matériels ou appareils d'utilisation après leur réparation. Cette procédure s'applique aux matériels ou appareils d'utilisation avec une tension assignée supérieure à 25 V en courant alternatif et 60 V en courant continu jusqu'à 1 000 V en courant alternatif et 1 500 V en courant continu et des courants jusqu'à 63 A, raccordés à des circuits terminaux. Il peut s'agir d'équipements enfichables de type A ou d'équipements reliés en permanence. Le présent document ne vise pas à remplacer les essais couverts par les normes de sécurité ou les normes de produit, par exemple les essais de type, les essais individuels de série et les essais d'acceptation. Le présent document retient l'hypothèse que les matériels ou appareils d'utilisation à l'étude sont conformes à la norme de produit associée, qu'ils ont été mis sur le marché, qu'ils ont été utilisés, qu'ils ont subi une panne et qu'ils ont ensuite été réparés. Il vise à vérifier que les actions de réparation n'ont pas compromis les mesures de protection de base, pour contrôler par exemple la continuité du conducteur de protection, la capacité de tenue de l'isolement, ou pour contrôler qu'aucune pièce métallique ne s'est desserrée ou n'a été insérée dans l'appareil par inadvertance. Ce document ne s'applique pas aux: — essais récurrents définis dans l'EN 50699; — dispositifs et équipements qui font partie des installations électriques fixes. Pour ceux-ci, les essais concernant la vérification après réparation sont couverts par la norme HD 60364 6; — équipements des technologies de l'audio/vidéo, de l'information et de la communication; — alimentations sans interruptions (ASI); — bornes de charge pour l'électromobilité; — alimentations; — automates programmables (AP); — entraînements de puissance; — dispositifs pour les zones explosives (EX) ou pour les applications minières en général; — produits déjà couverts par des normes traitant de sujets similaires, tels que: — les appareils médicaux couverts par l'EN 60601 1. Pour ces dispositifs, les essais concernant la vérification après réparation sont couverts par l'EN 62353; — le matériel de soudage à l'arc couvert par l'EN IEC 60974 1. Pour ces dispositifs, les essais concernant la vérification après réparation sont couverts par l'EN 60974 4; — les machines couvertes par l'EN 60204-1. Pour ces dispositifs, l'EN 60204-1 s'applique.

Introduction
This standard intends to provide a general test procedure to verify the effectiveness of the basic
protective measures for current-using equipment or appliances after they have been repaired, thus
ensuring the safety of people using repaired equipment.
This standard may be considered to support compliance with the European Directive 2009/104/EU
concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment by workers at
work.
In general, the test procedure for verification of products after repair is the responsibility of the related
product technical committees. This document may be taken into consideration by product technical
committees if they need to take into consideration modified or additional tests for verification after
repairs for products falling within their scope.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for setting a uniform procedure to verify the effectiveness of the
protective measures for current-using equipment or appliances after they have been repaired.
This procedure is applicable to current-using equipment or appliances with a rated voltage above 25 V
AC and 60 V DC up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC, and currents up to 63 A, connected to final
circuits. They may be either pluggable equipment type A connected or permanently connected.
This document is not intended to replace test covered by safety standards nor product standards, for
example type tests, routine tests and acceptance tests.
This document assumes that the current-using equipment or appliances under consideration complies
with its related product standard, has been introduced on the market, has been in use, has failed, and
has then been repaired.
It intends to verify that operations for repairs have not jeopardized basic protective measures, for
example to verify the continuity of the protective conductor, the withstand capability of the insulation or
to verify that no metallic part is loose or is inadvertently inserted in the device.
This document does not apply to:
— recurrent tests defined in EN 50699;
— devices and equipment that are part of the fixed electrical installations. For these, tests for
verification after repair are covered by HD 60364-6;
— audio/video, information and communication technology equipment;
— uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS);
— charging stations for electro-mobility;
— power supplies;
— programmable Logic Controllers (PLC);
— power Drives;
— devices for EX-zones or for mining applications in general;
— products already covered by standards addressing similar topics such as:
— medical equipment covered by EN 60601-1. For these devices, tests for verification after
repair are covered by EN 62353;
— arc welding equipment covered by EN IEC 60974-1. For these devices, tests for verification
after repair are covered by EN 60974-4.
— machinery covered by EN 60204-1. For these devices, EN 60204-1 applies.
