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 61557-1 has been prepared by technical committee 85: Measuring
equipment for electrical and electromagnetic quantities.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This third edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the
previous edition:
a) terms aligned with IEC 60050;
b) measurement of uncertainty revised according to the equations in 4.2 of

INTRODUCTION
IEC 60364-6 stipulates standardized conditions for the initial test of power installations
in TN, TT or IT systems for continuous monitoring and for testing these installations after
modifications. In addition to general references for the performance of the tests, IEC 60364-6
contains requirements that have to be verified by measurements. Only in a few instances, for
example when measuring the insulation resistance, does IEC 60364-6 contain details of the
characteristics of the measuring device to be used. Circuits which are given as examples in
IEC 60364-6, and referred to within the text of that document, are generally not suitable for
practical use.
The tests are carried out in installations where hazardous voltages can occur and where
careless use or a defect in the equipment can easily cause an accident. Therefore, the
technician has to rely on measuring devices which ensure safe test methods, in addition to
simplifying the measurements.
The application of the general safety regulations for electrical and electronic measuring
devices (IEC 61010-1) for testing the protective measures is not sufficient in itself. The
performance of measurements in the installation can cause hazards not only to the technician,
but also to third persons, depending on the measuring method used.
Likewise, reliable and comparable results of measurement with measuring devices from
different manufacturers are an important precondition in order to obtain an objective
assessment about the installation, for example when the installation is handed over for
periodic tests, for continuous insulation monitoring or in the case of performance warranty.
The IEC 61557 series has been established with the aim of stipulating common principles for
measuring and monitoring equipment for testing electrical safety and measuring performances
in systems with nominal voltages up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC which correspond to the
above-mentioned characteristics.
For that reason, the following common requirements have been stipulated in IEC 61557-1
(other parts of IEC 61557 can specify additional requirements or deviations):
– protection against extraneous voltages;
– class II protection (except insulation monitoring devices and insulation fault location
systems);
– requirements and safety precautions against hazardous touch voltages at the measuring
device;
– requirements for the assessment of connection configurations with respect to wiring errors
in the tested equipment;
– special mechanical requirements;
– measuring methods;
– measured quantity;
– specification of the maximum operating uncertainty;
– requirements for testing the influencing quantity and the calculation of the operating
uncertainty;
– uncertainties of the measuring device at the thresholds specified in the respective
standards;
– specification of the nature of type and routine tests and the required conditions for testing.
Contrary to the usual convention, terms and definitions that occur more than once in another
part of the series are listed in IEC 61557-1:2019, Clause 3. Only terms and definitions specific
to the respective part of IEC 61557 are listed in Clause 3 of that part.

69 FOREWORD
70 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
71 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
72 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
73 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
74 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
75 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
76 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
77 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
78 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
79 agreement between the two organizations.
80 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
81 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
82 interested IEC National Committees.
83 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
84 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
85 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
86 misinterpretation by any end user.
87 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
88 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
89 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
90 the latter.
91 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
92 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
93 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
94 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
95 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
96 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
97 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
98 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
99 Publications.
100 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
101 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
102 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
103 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

138 INTRODUCTION
139 IEC 60364-6 stipulates standardized conditions for the initial test of power installations in TN, TT or IT
140 systems for continuous monitoring and for testing these installations after modifications. In addition to
141 general references for the performance of the tests, IEC 60364-6 contains requirements that have to
142 be verified by measurements. Only in a few instances, for example when measuring the insulation
143 resistance, the standard contains details of the characteristics of the measuring device to be used.
144 Circuits which are given as examples in IEC 60364-6, and referred to within the text, are generally not
145 suitable for practical use.
146 The tests are carried out in installations where hazardous voltages can occur and where careless use
147 or a defect in the equipment can easily cause an accident. Therefore, the technician has to rely on
148 measuring devices which ensure safe test methods, apart from simplification of the measurements.
149 The application of the general safety regulations for electrical and electronic measuring devices
150 (IEC 61010-1) for testing the protective measures is not sufficient in itself. The performance of
151 measurements in the installation can cause hazards not only to the technician, but also to third
152 persons, depending on the measuring method.
153 Likewise, reliable and comparable results of measurement with measuring devices from different
154 manufacturers are an important precondition in order to obtain an objective judgement about the
155 installation, for example when the installation is handed over for periodic tests, for continuous
156 insulation monitoring or in the case of performance warranty.
157 The series of IEC 61557 has been established with the aim of stipulating common principles for
158 measuring and monitoring equipment for testing electrical safety and measuring performances in
159 systems with nominal voltages up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC which correspond to the above-
160 mentioned characteristics.
161 For this reason, the following common specifications have been stipulated in Part 1 and other
162 individual parts of IEC 61557:
163 – protection against extraneous voltages;
164 – protection class II (except insulation monitoring devices and insulation fault location systems);
165 – specifications and safety precautions against hazardous touch voltages at the measuring device;
166 – specifications for the judgement of connection configurations with respect to wiring errors in the
167 tested equipment;
168 – special mechanical requirements;
169 – measuring methods;
170 – measured quantity;
171 – specification of the maximum operating uncertainty;
172 – specifications for testing the influencing quantity and the calculation of the operating uncertainty;
173 – uncertainties of the measuring device at the thresholds specified in the respective standards;
174 – specification of the nature of type and routine tests and the required conditions for testing.

343 Note 1 – This term is used in the "uncertainty" approach.
344 Note 2 – Influence quantities can originate from the measured system, the measuring equipment or the environment.
345 Note 3 – As the calibration diagram depends on the influence quantities, in order to assign the result of a measurement it is
346 necessary to know whether the relevant influence quantities lie within the specified range.
347 Note 4 to entry: An influence quantity may be external or internal with reference to the equipment. When the value of one of
348 the influence quantities changes within its measuring range, it may affect the uncertainty due to another. The measured
