Donne les prescriptions minimales assurant une conception, une mise en oeuvre et un fonctionnement sûrs des machines électriques et des structures incorporant des matériels électriques, mobiles et d'installation temporaire ou permanente. Les machines et les structures sont destinées à être mises en oeuvre de manière répétée sans perte de sécurité, de façon temporaire ou permanente, dans des champs de foire, des parcs de loisirs, des cirques ou dans tout autre emplacement. Définit les prescriptions pour les installations électriques relatives aux structures et aux machines, lesquelles font soit partie des dispositifs de loisirs ou en constituent l'ensemble. N'est pas applicable aux équipements électriques des machines (voir CEI 60204-1).

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60364-7-740 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 64:
Electrical installations and protection against electric shock.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
64/1132/FDIS 64/1161/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2006. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition; or
• amended.
