Overview

SIST HD 60364-7-705:2007/A12:2017 is a key European standard that addresses the requirements for low-voltage electrical installations in agricultural and horticultural premises. Published by CLC under the CENELEC framework, this amendment (A12:2017) updates the original 2007 edition, ensuring safer and more reliable electrical systems in special locations related to farming and gardening operations. The standard forms part of the broader HD 60364 series focused on electrical installations and protection against electric shock.

This standard is essential for designers, installers, and safety inspectors working on electrical infrastructure in agricultural buildings and horticultural facilities. It provides harmonized guidelines that optimize safety, performance, and compliance with European regulations.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Covers low-voltage electrical installations specifically for agricultural and horticultural premises such as farm buildings and greenhouses. It addresses the unique environmental conditions commonly found in these locations, including moisture, dust, and potentially explosive atmospheres.

• Safety Requirements
  Details mandatory safety features including protective measures against electric shock, suitable choice of equipment, earthing systems, and protective devices like Residual Current Devices (RCDs).
  For example, national specifics like former Danish regulations requiring RCDs in socket-outlet circuits have been updated to reflect uniform compliance.

• Special Installations Considerations
  Emphasizes the importance of adapting electrical installations to the harsh conditions typical for agricultural settings, including vibration resistance, ingress protection, and corrosion resistance of electrical components.

• Harmonization and Compliance
  Ensures compatibility with CENELEC regulations and facilitates implementation at the national level across member states. It provides essential guidance on replacing conflicting standards and maintaining up-to-date electrotechnical safety.

Applications

This standard is practically applied in:

• Farm Buildings and Structures
  Electrical wiring, distribution boards, and protective devices within barns, silos, animal housing, and storage facilities.

• Horticultural Premises
  Electrical systems in greenhouses, nurseries, and plant cultivation facilities, where environmental controls are critical.

• Field Installations
  Permanent or semi-permanent electrical setups including irrigation systems, lighting, and automated equipment often exposed to outdoor conditions.

• Electrical Maintenance and Upgrades
  Guidance when upgrading older installations to meet current safety and operational standards, including the incorporation of RCDs and surge protection.

By following the provisions of HD 60364-7-705:2017/A12, agricultural and horticultural establishments can ensure electrical installations are reliable, safe, and compliant with European legislation, minimizing hazards and operational downtime.

Related Standards

• HD 60364 Series
  The broader framework for low-voltage electrical installations across all types of buildings, providing general rules and requirements.

• IEC 60364 Standards
  The international equivalents on which this European standard is based, ensuring global consistency where relevant.

• National Electrotechnical Codes
  Implementation may refer to respective national regulations which harmonize with CENELEC amendments, especially regarding protective devices and earthing.

• CENELEC Internal Regulations
  Governing the management, endorsement, and withdrawal timelines for electrical standards within European countries.

Understanding SIST HD 60364-7-705:2007/A12:2017 is essential for professionals involved in designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems in agricultural and horticultural environments. Its targeted focus on special locations helps safeguard people, property, and production processes through comprehensive low-voltage electrical installation requirements.
