FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object to the IEC is to
promote international cooperation 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
rt
form of standards, technical repo s 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. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
repo rt of one of the following types:
• type 1, when the required suppo rt cannot be obtained for the publication of an International
Standard, despite repeated effo rts;
• type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other reason
there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an International
Standard;
• type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is
normally published as an International Standard, for example "state of the art".
Technical repo rt
s of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical repo rts of
type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be
no longer valid or useful.

INTRODUCTION
This technical report does not form part of IEC 364. It is a supplement to IEC 364-7-704, of
which it explains the rules so as to facilitate the design, the execution and the maintenance of
electrical installations on construction and demolition sites.
It is written for everyone concerned with the design, the selection and supply of equipment, as
well as the persons who install, maintain and use these installations.
The chapters, sections and clauses are, in some cases, marked with the following information:
modification, recommendation or explanation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE —
Part 704: Construction and demolition site installations
704.1 Scope
This technical report is for use as a guide for temporary installations provided only for the
period of construction, during which they may be frequently modified and relocated. They are
dismantled and removed upon completion of the works.
The object of this report is to give more detailed guidance on the application of the
requirements of IEC 364 to these particular types of installation, in a form convenient for use
by persons concerned with these types of installation. To make it easier for users, definitions
are repeated, and several examples of important items are listed.
It describes practical means of satisfying the requirements, based on experience and practice,
but it does not exclude the use of other means which provide the same level of safety and
reliability.
