(Main)Resistance welding equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements for design, manufacture and installation
Resistance welding equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements for design, manufacture and installation
This part of IEC 62135 applies to equipment for resistance welding and allied processes and
includes single and multiple welding stations which may be manually or automatically loaded
and/or started.
This part of IEC 62135 covers stationary and portable equipment.
This part of IEC 62135 specifies electrical safety requirements for design, manufacture and
installation. It does not cover all non-electrical safety requirements (e.g. noise, vibration).
This part of IEC 62135 does not include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements,
which are included in IEC 62135-2.
To comply with this standard, all safety risks involved in loading, feeding, operating and
unloading the equipment, where applicable, should be assessed and the requirements of
related standards should be observed.
Widerstandsschweißeinrichtungen - Teil 1: Sicherheitsanforderungen für die Konstruktion, Herstellung und Errichtung
Matériels de soudage par résistance - Partie 1: Exigences de sécurité pour la conception, la fabrication et l’installation
L'IEC 62135-1:2015 s'applique aux matériels de soudage par résistance et aux procédés connexes et comprend les stations de soudage simples et multiples qui peuvent être alimentées manuellement ou automatiquement et/ou mises en route. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une résivion technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- les lignes de fuite pour le degré de pollution 4 ne sont plus valables (voir le Tableau 2);
- les exigences relatives à l'isolement pour le matériel de classe II sont définies (voir le Tableau 3);
- la limite inférieure de restriction d'interpolation de la tension d'essai diélectrique est modifiée à 220 V et l'interpolation des circuits de commande et de soudage est clarifiée (voir le Tableau 4);
- la température maximale pour les systèmes d'isolation est revue conformément à l'actuelle édition de l'IEC 60085 (voir le Tableau 7);
- le marquage des bornes est défini (voir 10.3);
- le tableau des tensions nominales des réseaux d'alimentation est modifié: les valeurs du Tableau B.2 de l'IEC 60664-1:2007 sont prises en compte à la place des valeurs du Tableau B.1, référencées dans la précédente édition pour le matériel à connecter aux systèmes mis à la terre et non mis à la terre. Cette modification influence les exigences relatives aux lignes de fuite et aux distances d'isolement dans l'air pour certaines caractéristiques assignées de tension d'alimentation (voir l'Annexe A);
- les informations relatives au courant de contact en cas de défaut et les procédures de mesure sont clarifiées (voir 6.4.4 et l'Annexe C);
- le courant de contact du circuit de soudage est défini (voir 6.2.6);
- les informations relatives au courant de contact en condition normale sont clarifiées et déplacées dans la partie protection contre les chocs électriques en service normal (voir 6.3.7);
- les conditions d'essai d'échauffement sont clarifiées (voir 7.1.1);
- la limite d'échauffement de la surface externe est modifiée (voir 7.3.2).
Oprema za uporovno varjenje - 1. del: Varnostne zahteve za zasnovo, izdelavo in inštalacijo
Ta del standarda IEC 62135 se uporablja za opremo za uporovno varjenje in povezane procese ter zajema enkratne in večkratne varilne postaje, ki se lahko ročno ali samodejno obremenijo in/ali vklopijo. Ta del standarda IEC 62135 obravnava nepremično in premično opremo. Ta del standarda IEC 62135 določa električne varnostne zahteve za zasnovo, izdelavo in inštalacijo. Ne obravnava vseh neelektričnih varnostnih zahtev (npr. hrupa, vibracij). Ta del standarda IEC 62135 ne obravnava zahtev za elektromagnetno združljivost (EMC), ki so zajete v standardu IEC 62135-2. Da bi se dosegla skladnost s tem standardom, bi bilo treba oceniti vsa varnostna tveganja, vključena v obremenjevanje, podajanje, delovanje in razbremenjevanje opreme, kjer je to primerno, ter upoštevati zahteve povezanih standardov.

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
