SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 is the Slovenian standard published by SIST based on ETSI ES 202 999 V1.1.1. It sets safety requirements for the erection and operation of information technology installations with remote power feeding, especially where the operating a.c. voltage exceeds 50 V rms or the operating d.c. voltage exceeds 120 V. It is written for designers, installers, operators, maintenance staff and safety managers who need to control shock, overvoltage, labeling and working-practice risks.

What does SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 specify?

SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 specifies safety requirements for remote power feeding installations used with information technology installations. The document applies in addition to EN 60950-1 and EN 60950-21, and it combines definitions, limits, equipment rules, operating-instruction requirements and test checks.

The scope is limited to installations with remote power feeding above the stated a.c. and d.c. voltage levels. Where special standards apply to an installation or part of an installation, those special standards take precedence.

The document is organized into:

• Scope and references
• Definitions and abbreviations
• Limits
• General requirements
• Requirements on equipment and lines
• Requirements on operating instructions
• Informative recommendations for operating instructions

What are the key requirements of SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012?

Limits and when the document applies

Clause 4 points readers to EN 60950-21 for permitted limit values during normal operation and single fault conditions. If equipment exceeds those limits, EN 60950-1 applies together with clauses 5 to 7 of this document.

In practice, this means the operating voltage and fault behavior determine which safety regime you must follow before commissioning or maintenance.

Installation and equipment protection

Clause 5.1 requires remote power supply equipment to be in restricted access locations, and remotely fed equipment such as repeaters to be in locations with limited access. Clause 5.4 requires remote power devices to protect against electrical shock and power hazard in line with EN 60950-1.

In practice, access control is part of the safety concept, not an afterthought.

Fault detection, shutdown and monitoring

Clause 5.2 requires voltage sources with current limiting to switch off reliably if the limit is exceeded by 10 %. Clause 5.3 requires monitoring for faults and unbalance, with an alarm or display when values deviate from target.

In practice, operators need both automatic shutdown behavior and a way to see earth faults or unbalance quickly.

Marking and identification

Clause 5.5 requires all relevant cables to be continuously marked with the telephone symbol and the hazardous electrical voltage symbol. Clause 5.6 requires the safety information in the operating instructions to be clearly visible at the installation site, and clause 5.7 requires isolation points at each end of each section to be labeled so different remote power circuits cannot be mixed up.

In practice, the marking helps prevent mistaken handling and wrong circuit selection during work.

Switching off and line arrangements

Clause 6.1 requires the remote power source to be switchable off at an easily accessible point, with reactivation prevented, for example by a lock. Clause 6.2 requires disconnected-circuit detection to work only when remote power sources are switched off.

Clause 6.3 and 6.4 cover coaxial and earth-referenced arrangements, including balanced-to-earth remote power feeding and the use of non-earthed outer wires in some d.c. coaxial cases, together with ITU-T protection guidance.

What terms does SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 define?

• remote power feeding - Supply of electric power in a.c. or d.c. form to information technology installations through cables of the associated telecommunication line.
• remote power feeding circuit - The functional circuit formed by interconnecting remote power feeding devices and cables.
• remote power feeding point - The point that supplies remote power feeding circuits through its remote power feeding equipment.
• load power-fed point - A point that extracts electric power from the remote power feeding circuits through remote power feeding equipment.
• remote power feeding section - The part of a remote power feeding circuit between a remote power feeding point and the next power-fed point, or between adjacent power-fed points.
• RFT-C circuit - An RFT circuit designed so current stays within defined values in normal and single-fault conditions.
• RFT-V circuit - An RFT circuit designed so voltage and accessible contact area are limited in normal and single-fault conditions.

Who uses SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012?

SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 is used by people who erect, operate and maintain telecommunication or information technology installations with remote power feeding. That includes network operators, equipment integrators, installers, electricians, maintenance teams and safety personnel working in restricted-access sites.

It is also useful for buyers and technical approvers who need to specify safe handling, labeling, monitoring and lockout arrangements for remote-fed installations.

Which standards are used with SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012?

The document relies on these normative references:

• EN 60417-1 - provides the graphical symbols used for cable marking and hazard identification.
• EN 60900 - covers insulated hand tools for work up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c.
• EN 60950-1 - gives general safety requirements for information technology equipment.
• EN 60950-21 - gives the remote power feeding safety requirements and the limit values referenced in clause 4.
• ITU-T Directives concerning the protection of telecommunication lines against harmful effects from electric power and electrified railway lines - support line protection measures.
• ITU-T Recommendation K.10 - addresses low frequency interference due to unbalance about earth.

What does the SIST ES 202 999 V1.1.1:2012 document contain?

The document contains definitions, limit rules, general installation requirements, equipment and line requirements, and operating-instruction requirements. Clause 5 includes test notes such as visual inspection and checking switch-off and monitoring behavior. Clause 6 includes checks for balancing to earth, resistance to earth potential and coaxial wiring arrangements.

Table 1 provides guidance for placing symbols on remote power cables, based on cable diameter and symbol spacing. Clause 8 adds informative operating advice for work planning, lockout, labeling, qualified personnel and safe re-energization.
