IEC 61557-4:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61557-4:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 61557-4:2019 spécifie les exigences applicables aux appareils destinés à mesurer la résistance de conducteurs de terre, de conducteurs de terre de protection et de conducteurs d'équipotentialité, y compris leurs liaisons et bornes, avec une indication de la valeur mesurée ou une indication des limites. L'IEC 61557-4:2019 annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2007. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) développement des informations concernant la catégorie de mesure à l'Article 4;
b) correction de l'équation relative à l'incertitude de fonctionnement;
c) développement des exigences de mesure de la tension continue;
d) alignement de la structure sur l'ensemble de la série IEC 61557.

41 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
42 national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
43 operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to
44 other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available
45 Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical
46 committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work.
47 International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
48 IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions
49 determined by agreement between the two organizations.
50 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
51 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC
52 National Committees.
53 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees
54 in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate,
55 IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
56 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently
57 to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication
58 and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
59 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment
60 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by
61 independent certification bodies.
62 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
63 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of
64 its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any
65 nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the
66 publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
67 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
68 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
69 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights.
70 IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
71 International Standard IEC 61557-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 85: Measuring
72 equipment for electrical and electromagnetic quantities.
73 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
74 a) The measurement category is complemented in Clause 4
75 b) The equation for the operating uncertainty is corrected
76 c) The requirements for measuring with DC are complemented
77 d) Alignment of the structure to the whole series IEC61557
