OPOMBA 1: Takšno opremo običajno uporabljajo neprofesionalci v stanovanjskih območjih.
Ta del standarda IEC 60974 se ne uporablja za vire energije za obločno varjenje in rezanje, kjer so za delovanje potrebuje:
• naprave za obločne udare in stabilizacijo;
• tekočinske hladilne sisteme;
• plinske konzole;
• trifazne vire energije;
in ki so namenjeni samo za industrijsko in profesionalno uporabo.
Ta del standarda IEC 60974 se ne uporablja za vire energije za obločno varjenje in rezanje ter opremo, ki se uporablja za:
• mehansko vodene aplikacije;
• varjenje pod praškom;
• plazemsko dolbenje;
• plazemsko varjenje;
kar je zajeto v drugih delih standarda IEC 60974.
OPOMBA 2: Viri energije, podajalniki žice, gorilniki in držala elektrod, namenjeni za industrijsko in profesionalno uporabo, so ločeno zajeti v standardih IEC 60974-1, IEC 60974-5, IEC 60974-7 in IEC 60974-11.
OPOMBA 3: Ta del standarda IEC 60974 ne obravnava zahtev za elektromagnetno združljivost (EMC), ki so zajete v standardu IEC 60974-10.

ARC WELDING EQUIPMENT –
Part 6: Limited duty equipment
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 (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60974-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 26: Electric welding. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. It constitutes a technical revision. The main significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are the following: – modified measurement conditions (see 7.3.1); – improved values for temperature limits according to the class of insulation (see Table 1); – improved maximum temperature limits (see Table 2); – deleted overload test. SIST EN 60974-6:2016
IEC 60974-6:2015 © IEC 2015 – 7 – The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 26/572/FDIS 26/581/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60974-1:2012. In this standard, the following print types are used: – conformity statements: in italic type. A list of all the parts in the IEC 60974 series, published under the general title Arc welding equipment, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed, • withdrawn, • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended.
IMPORTANT – The “colour inside” logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this publication using a colour printer.
