Introduction
For the purpose of this part, the requirements of HD 60364/HD 384 apply.
The Parts 7XX of HD 60364 contain particular requirements for special installations or
locations which are based on the requirements of the general parts of HD 60364 (Part 1,
Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6). These Parts 7XX have to be considered in conjunction with the
requirements of the general parts.
The particular requirements of this part of HD 60364 supplement, modify or replace certain of
the requirements of the general parts of HD 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 Parts 7XX 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
HD 60364. The numbers following the particular number of this part are those of the
corresponding parts, or clauses of HD 60364 being valid at the time of publication of this part
as indicated in the normative references of this document (dated reference).
If additional requirements or explanations are needed which have no direct relation to general
parts or other Parts 7XX the numbering of such clauses are stated as 712.101, 712.102,
712.103 etc.
NOTE 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 704 may no longer align with the latest
edition of the general part. Dated references should be observed.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (includ
