Overview

HD 60364-7-718:2013/A11:2017 is a European harmonization standard developed by CLC/TC 64, focusing on low-voltage electrical installations in communal facilities and workplaces. This amendment to the original HD 60364-7-718:2013 standard outlines essential requirements and safety measures for electrical installations in special locations, ensuring both operational safety and regulatory compliance within the European Union.

The standard covers the specific needs of public buildings, offices, and work environments where electrical systems must meet higher safety and performance criteria due to the nature of the environment and the presence of occupants. It is crucial for manufacturers, installers, designers, and safety inspectors involved in electrical installation projects.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Applicable to low-voltage electrical installations in communal facilities and workplaces, including public institutions and various types of operational sites.

• Safety Requirements
  Emphasizes protection against electric shock and mechanical damage, mandating robust installation practices and use of compliant components.

• Equipment Specifications

  • Distribution boards must be located in secure, protected areas or be shielded to prevent mechanical damage.
  • Switchgear and controlgear assemblies must conform with EN 61439 series.
  • Small distribution boards are required to comply with DIN VDE 0603-1 or DIN EN 60670-24 standards.
  • Enclosures for central power supply systems should align with EN 50171.

• National Deviations and Implementation
  While harmonized at the European level, specific national conditions may apply. For example, Germany has additional requirements for safeguarding distribution boards against unauthorized access and mechanical impact.

• Compliance and Enforcement Dates

  • Latest date for national implementation: March 29, 2018
  • Withdrawal of conflicting national standards by: March 29, 2020

Applications

HD 60364-7-718:2013/A11:2017 is intended for:

• Public Buildings: Schools, hospitals, government offices where user safety and functional reliability are paramount.
• Workplaces: Factories, commercial offices, and industrial facilities requiring specific low-voltage electrical system standards to ensure employee safety and uninterrupted operation.
• Communal Facilities: Libraries, sports centers, community halls that need standardized electrical installations for public safety and convenience.

By complying with this standard, stakeholders can ensure:

• Enhanced electrical safety and reduced risk of faults or accidents.
• Harmonization with European legislation and technical regulations.
• Assurance that electrical equipment and installation practices meet internationally accepted norms.

Related Standards

For comprehensive electrical installation safety and performance, HD 60364-7-718:2013/A11:2017 works in conjunction with:

• EN 61439 series: Standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, ensuring reliable electrical assembly designs.
• DIN VDE 0603-1 and DIN EN 60670-24: Address specific requirements for small distribution boards used in various installations.
• EN 50171: Specifies requirements for enclosures of central power supply systems, important for safety and protection.

These complementary standards provide detailed technical criteria that support the broader safety objectives outlined in HD 60364-7-718:2013/A11:2017.
