Overview

IEC 60050-903 Amendment 2 is an official update to the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) Part 903: Risk Assessment, issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This amendment refines and expands the terminology related to risk assessment in the electrotechnical domain, ensuring clarity, consistency, and alignment with evolving industry practices. It supports harmonized communication among professionals by updating key definitions and concepts critical for effective risk management in electrical engineering.

This document plays a vital role in the global standardization of electrotechnical vocabulary, particularly focusing on terminologies that impact risk assessment methodologies and safety evaluations.

Key Topics

• Risk Assessment Terminology
  The amendment updates and specifies terms used to describe risk assessment processes, criteria, and methodologies within electrical engineering disciplines.

• Solid Insulation Definition
  A highlighted revision includes the precise definition of solid insulation - a key term in electrical safety - described as solid insulating materials placed between conductive parts or between conductive parts and the body. This includes materials such as printed circuit boards with coatings or encapsulating materials.

• Consistency With IEC Standards
  The vocabulary changes align with related IEC standards, such as IEC 62368-1:2014, enabling interoperability and coherent understanding across documents pertaining to electrical product safety and performance.

• Multilingual Presentation
  Terms in the amendment are presented in multiple languages including English and French, reflecting the international applicability of IEC standards.

Applications

• Electrical Engineering Design
  Applies to engineers ensuring compliance with standardized risk assessment nomenclature during product development and system design.

• Safety and Compliance
  Facilitates regulatory compliance and certification processes by providing authoritative definitions used in risk evaluation reports and documentation.

• Technical Documentation
  Supports the preparation of manuals, standards, and safety instructions by using consistent terminology referenced in IEC vocabulary.

• Education and Training
  Serves as a reference for educating professionals and students on standardized risk assessment concepts essential in electrotechnical fields.

Related Standards

• IEC 62368-1:2014
  Safety requirements for audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - source of definitions related to insulation materials.

• International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) Parts
  The broader IEC 60050 series covering a wide range of electrotechnical terms harmonizes terminology across electrical engineering sectors.

• Risk Management Standards
  Complements standards addressing risk evaluation, such as ISO 31000 and IEC 31010, by providing precise vocabulary tailored for electrotechnical contexts.
