INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
___________
MODULAR ORDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANICAL
STRUCTURES FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT PRACTICES –
Part 1: Generic standard
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The 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 electronic equipment, of IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical
components and mechanical structures for electronic equipment.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC 60916 (1988), IEC 60917 (1988), its amendment 1
(1993) and IEC 60917-0 (1989).
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48D/159/FDIS 48D/177/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.

INTRODUCTION
The trend towards constantly increasing functional integration and ever smaller volume and
space requirements for electronic components and integrated circuits, as well as the advent of
new manufacturing methods, automatic manufacturing and testing equipment and the use of
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) systems offer users considerable technical and economic
advantages.
In order to ensure that, when using newly developed components, manufacturing methods and
CAE systems, the advantages can be fully exploited during planning, design, manufacture 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-outs, 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 standard have been taken from system I of IEC Guide 103
in consideration with other documents on dimensional coordination.

MODULAR ORDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANICAL
STRUCTURES FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT PRACTICES –
Part 1: Generic standard
1 Scope and object
This International Standard relates to equipment practices. The modular order is applicable to
the main structural dimensions of electronic equipment mounted in various installations where
dimensional interfaces have to be considered.
It refers to basic design parameters and is not intended to be used for manufacturing
tolerances or clearances.
In addition, information on interfaces to other technical fields, on technology and advanced
design aspects is included.
This standard also covers standard terms for parts and assemblies of mechanical structures
for electronic equipment.
This generic standard gives the definitions of a modular order for mechanical structures of
electronic equipment and provides for dimensional compatibility at mechanical interfaces with
related engineering applications, e.g. printed boards, components, instrumentation, furniture,
rooms, buildings, etc.
Furthermore, it supports the introduction and application of the modular order rules considering
that:
– compatibility of interface dimensions is aimed at the electronic field on the basis of the SI
unit metre;
– technical and economic advantages can be achieved when using the rules.
The terms in this standard should be used in all standards for mechanical structures of
electronic equipment and in related technical documents.
