MODULAR ORDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF MECHANICAL STRUCTURES FOR ELECTRICAL

Part 1: Generic standard
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 60917-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 48D: Mechanical
structures for electrical and electronic equipment, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical
connectors and mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998 and its Amendment
1:2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) added information on newly developed detail specification standards of mechanical
structures for the electrical and electronic equipment practices;
b) added information on newly developed performance test standards for the verifications of
environmental performances and safety aspects and issues of the thermal performance and
thermal management for the electrical and electronic equipment practices;
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

c) introduced the relations between the mechanical structure for electrical and electronic
system, the verification of environmental performance and safety aspects and issues of the
thermal performance and thermal management for the electrical and electronic equipment
practices.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48D/703/FDIS 48D/708/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.
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60917 series, published under the general title Modular order for
the development of mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment practices, 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.

INTRODUCTION
There is a continuous trend towards higher functional integration and smaller electronic
components and integrated circuits. At the same time, new manufacturing methods, automatic
manufacturing and testing equipment, and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) systems have
created commercial advantages for their users.
For users to take technical and economic advantage of these new components and technologies
during planning, design, manufacturing, and testing, it is necessary for equipment practices to
meet the following requirements (see IEC Guide 103): arrangement of products with a minimum
loss of area and space;
– dimensional interchangeability of products, e.g. regarding overall dimensions, mounting
dimensions (fixing holes, cut-out, etc.);
– dimensional compatibility and determination of interface dimensions of products which:
• are combined with other products, e.g. instruments, racks, panels and cabinets, etc.;
• are used in buildings that have been built in accordance with a modular system, e.g.
column spacing, room height, door height, etc.
An obstacle arises from the use of two systems of dimensioning (inch – metre) that are not
compatible with each other. The use of an interface between both dimensioning systems
represents one way around this obstacle. The recommendation is:
– to use only one dimensioning system and to use SI units.
The dimensions given in 5.3 of this document have been taken from System l of IEC Guide 103
in consideration with other documents on dimensional coordination.
In accordance with the above considerations, IEC 60917-1 Ed.1 was published in 1998. This
generic standard for mechanical structures for electronic equipment practices has been used
to meet advanced requirements for various industrial applications of micro-electronics
technology.
After publication of this generic standard, development of dimensional sectional and detail
specifications consisting of the metric 25 mm modular standards, IEC 60917-2-X, and 19 inch
(in) conventional standards, IEC 60297-3-XXX, was undertaken. In parallel, standards to
address environmental performance and safety aspects of the mechanical structures were
developed as the IEC 61587 series. All these standards are based on indoor system
applications. The next step for the mechanical structure was the developments of the IEC 61969
series for outdoor applications.
In the first decade of the 21st century, the IEC 62194 and IEC 62610 series were developed to
define the verification of the thermal performance of enclosures and address thermal
management issues of the electrical and electronic equipment practices.
This document describes the relationships between the mechanical structure for electrical and
electronic systems, the verification of environmental performance and safety aspects, and the
issues of the thermal performance and of the thermal management for the electrical and
electronic equipment practices.
