FOREWORD
Add the following new text:
The reader's attention is drawn to the fact that Annex A lists all of the “in-some-country”
clauses on differing practices of a permanent or less permanent nature relating to the subject
of this standard.
INTRODUCTION
Replace the existing text with the following new text:
For the purpose of this part of IEC 60364 (IEC 60364-7-706) the requirements of the general
Parts 1 to 6 and Parts 8 of IEC 60364 apply.
The IEC 60364-7-7XX parts of IEC 60364 contain particular requirements for special
installations or locations which are based on the requirements of the general parts of
IEC 60364 (IEC 60364-1 to IEC 60364-6 and IEC 60364-8). These IEC 60364-7-7XX parts are
considered in conjunction with the requirements of the general parts.

© IEC 2019
The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 supplement, modify or replace certain of
the requirements of the general parts of IEC 60364 being valid at the time of publication of
this part. The absence of reference to the exclusion of a part or a clause of a general part
means that the corresponding clauses of the general part are applicable (undated reference).
Requirements of other 7XX parts being relevant for installations covered by this part also
apply. This part may therefore also supplement, modify or replace certain of these
requirements valid at the time of publication of this part.
The clause numbering of this part follows the pattern and corresponding references of
IEC 60364. The numbers following the particular number of this part are those of the
corresponding parts, or clauses of the other parts of the IEC 60364 series, valid at the time of
publication of this part, as indicated in the normative references of this document (dated
reference).
If requirements or explanations additional to those of the other parts of the IEC 60364 series
are needed, the numbering of such items appears as 706.101, 706.102, 706.103, etc.
In the case where new or amended general parts with modified numbering were published
after this part was issued, the clause numbers referring to a general part in this Part 706 may
no longer align with the latest edition of the general part. Dated references should be
observed.
706.1 Scope
Replace the existing text with the following new text:
The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 apply to:
• fixed equipment within conducting locations with restricted movement; and
• supplies to equipment used within conducting locations with restricted movement.
Add, after the Scope, the following new Subclauses 706.2 and 706.3:
706.2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition
cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including
any amendments) applies.
