SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 302 999 V1.2.1 for safety in remote power feeding installations. It specifies safety requirements for the erection and operation of information technology installations that use remote power feeding at operating a.c. voltages above 50 V rms or d.c. voltages above 120 V, and it is intended for people who design, install, operate and maintain those systems.

What does SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 specify?

SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 specifies safety requirements for remote power feeding installations used in information technology and telecommunication systems. It applies together with EN 60950-1 and EN 60950-21, and it gives terms, requirements and tests for installations where power is carried over telecommunication cables.

The document is organized into eight clauses:

• Scope
• References
• Definitions and abbreviations
• Limits
• General requirements
• Requirements on equipment and lines
• Requirements on operating instructions
• Recommendation of operating instructions, marked informative

This structure matters in practice because the standard separates electrical limits, installation measures, equipment design, and work instructions.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013?

SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 focuses on safe installation, safe operation, clear marking and safe work procedures.

Limits and when the extra clauses apply

Clause 4 points to EN 60950-21 for the permitted values in normal operation and single fault conditions. If an installation exceeds those limits, EN 60950-1 applies together with clauses 5 to 7 of this standard. In practice, this tells the reader when the stricter safety measures and operating controls are needed.

Location, monitoring and shutdown behavior

Clause 5 requires remote power supply equipment to be operated in restricted access locations, and remotely fed equipment such as repeaters to be in limited-access locations. Current-limited sources must switch off reliably if the current rises above the allowed value by 10%, and remote power circuits that exceed the limits must have monitoring for faults and unbalance with an alarm or display. This means operators need both physical access control and automatic fault awareness.

Marking and identification

Clause 5 also requires remote power cables to be continuously marked with the telephone symbol and the hazardous electrical voltage symbol, with placement guided by cable diameter. Isolation points at each end of each remote power feeding section must be labeled so different circuits cannot be confused. In practice, this reduces the risk of working on the wrong cable or section.

Equipment, lines and disconnection

Clause 6 requires a remote power source to be switchable off at an easily accessible point, with means to prevent reactivation, such as a lock. It also requires equipment for detecting disconnected remote power circuits to work only when the sources are off. For coaxial systems and for installations influenced by power mains, the clause adds specific connection and earthing measures, and it refers to ITU-T K.10 and the ITU-T directives on protection of telecommunication lines.

Operating instructions

Clause 7 requires operating instructions for safety equipment and electrical safety services, and the safety requirements in the text must be clearly highlighted. Clause 8, which is informative, gives guidance on what those instructions normally cover, including who may work on the equipment, how to isolate and secure circuits, when insulated tools are needed, and when work on energized cables is permitted.

What terms does SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 define?

• Remote power feeding - Supplying electric power in a.c. or d.c. form to an information technology installation through telecommunication cables.
• Remote power feeding circuit - The functional circuit formed by interconnecting remote power feeding devices and cables.
• Remote power feeding point - The point that supplies a remote power feeding circuit with electrical current.
• Remote power feeding section - The part of a remote power feeding circuit between two adjacent power-fed points, or between a remote power feeding point and the next power-fed point.
• RFT-C circuit - An RFT circuit designed so currents stay within defined values under normal and single fault conditions.
• RFT-V circuit - An RFT circuit designed so voltages and the accessible area of contact stay limited under normal and single fault conditions.
• a.c. - Alternating current.
• d.c. - Direct current.

Who uses SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013?

SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 is used by telecom and information technology professionals who erect, operate and maintain remote power feeding installations. That includes installers, equipment designers, operators, maintenance teams, safety personnel and the people responsible for work authorization and supervision.

It is especially relevant where power is carried over telecommunication cables, such as in cable systems, joint boxes, chambers, coaxial pairs and remotely fed repeaters. For buyers and quality managers, it is a procurement and safety reference for specifying compliant remote power feeding systems and operating procedures.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013?

Reference	What it contributes
EN 60417-1	Graphical symbols used for the required cable and hazard marking
EN 60900	Insulated hand tools for work where live parts may be present
EN 60950-1	General safety requirements for information technology equipment
EN 60950-21	Remote power feeding safety requirements and limit values
ITU-T Directives on protection of telecommunication lines	Measures against harmful effects from electric power and electrified railway lines
ITU-T Recommendation K.10	Guidance on low frequency interference due to unbalance about earth

What does the SIST EN 302 999 V1.2.1:2013 document contain?

The document contains the scope, reference standards, definitions, safety limits, general installation rules, equipment and line requirements, and operating-instruction requirements. It also includes a guidance table for the placement of symbols on remote power cables and specifies visual inspection or measurement-based checks for several requirements.

For practical use, it gives the reader a set of actions to verify during design, installation, testing and maintenance: access control, shutdown and lockout, fault monitoring, marking, earthing arrangements, and safe work instructions.
