Special national conditions

Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a long
period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the Harmonization Document.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are normative, for
other countries they are informative.

Country Clause Wording
No.
420.1 In Germany the following additional requirements to the scope apply to
the second indent of clause 420.1 - against flames and smoke in case of
Germany
a fire hazard being propagated from electrical installations to other fire
compartments segregated by barriers which are in the vicinity, and
421.3 In Germany the following additional requirements for protection against
arcing apply:
421.3 Protective devices shall be installed for protection in case of
arcing where the electrical installation shall meet a high degree of
reliability.

Protective devices for the protection against arcing shall detect the light
effect of the arc and the increase of current in the line conductors.
Furthermore, they shall extinguish the arc within a time of 5 ms and
disconnect the electrical installation from the supply. The extinguishing

of the arc may not be generated before the set limiting values regarding
the light and current detection are exceeded.

Slowly acting protective devices are not able to prevent damage of
goods and that can make it impossible to put the electrical installation in
to operation again within a short time.

In general a separation by use of a metal sheet does not provide the
required arc withstand capability.

421.7 Where in case of a fire hazard from switchgear assemblies heavy smoke
generation in escape corridors may be assumed a sealed fire barrier for
the erection of the switchgear assembly is necessary.

This requirement is fulfilled if the switchgear assembly is placed in an
enclosure of non-combustible material or in a separate location. Ceilings
and walls of the separating location shall have a fireresisting capability
for a time of at least 90 min and doors for a time of at least 30 min.

422.1.2 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
“In Germany for the selection and erection of electrical equipment

Chapter 53 “Erection of low voltage installations –
Part 530: Selection and erection of electrical equipment – Switchgear and
controlgear” applies in addition.”
422.3 Section 422.3 includes, for example, the selection and erection of
installations in locations with risks of fire due to the nature of processed
or stored materials like the manufacturing, processing, storage of
combustible materials, including the accumulation of dust in barns,

wood working factories, paper mills, textile factories or similar.

NOTE  The nature and allowed quantities of combustible materials, or surface or
volume of the locations may be regulated by national authorities.

422.3 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
In Germany the classification in fire-hazard areas is in the response of
the operator/user of the electrical installation, taking into account, if
necessary, the accident prevention regulation BGV A1 by the employers'
liability insurance association/EU-directive 89/654/EWG.
He should consult an expert for the classification. The publication
VdS 2033 „Feuergefährdete Betriebsstätten und diesen gleichzustellende
Risiken“, published by the German Insurance Association (GDV),
contains suitable case studies. Thereafter fire hazard areas are rooms or
places in the rooms or outside in which the danger insists that after local
and operational relations easily flammable materials in hazardous
amount comes closer to the electrical equipment in such a way, that
higher temperatures or arcs form a fire hazard. These can be areas like
work rooms, dry rooms and storerooms, hay camps, straw camps, jute
camps and flax camps as well as such sites outside, e.g., in paper,
textiles or wooden processing companies.
„Easily flammable“ are ignitable firm materials which burn, exposed to
the flame of a match for 10 s, and after removing the ignition source burn
and glow further by itself. Those materials are like hay or straw, straw
dust, shavings, loose wood-wool, magnesium filings, brushwood, loose
paper, tree and cell woollen fibres.
422.3.4 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
NOTE 3  PVC-jacketed cables, e.g., NYM and NYY, and the cable types in Table 1 fulfil the

requirements.

NOTE 4  The recommendation to use cable with improved fire characteristics, is fulfilled,
if the types are according to Table 1. This cable types have also an improved protection
against corrosion damages with halogens and smoke damages.

Where an RCD may not be used, e.g. in the case of high operating
422.3.9a
currents, it is recommended to apply an equivalent protective measure,
e.g. a power switch with a coordinated RCD independent of the supply
voltage according to IEC 60947-2 - Residual current monitoring (RCM)
according to IEC 60020.

NOTE 1  This requirement is generally fulfilled if the disconnection occurs in a
time not exceeding 5 s. In electrical installations with a rated voltage 230/400 V

AC for this purpose RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding
300 mA are used.

NOTE 2  In the case of panel heating systems this requirement is fulfilled if the
disconnection occurs at a power of not more than 7 W at the place of the
insulation fault. In electrical installations with a rated voltage 230/400 V AC for
this purpose, RCDs with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA
are used.

422.3.9c Disconnection is not necessary where provisions are taken to prevent
Germany the occurrence of a fire hazard by short circuits or earth faults caused by
external influences like mechanical stresses.
422.3.9d Disconnection is not required for circuits which are erected in a short-
circuit and earth leakage proof manner.

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 respo

Special national conditions

Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a long
period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the Harmonization Document.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are normative, for
other countries they are informative.

Country Clause Wording
No.
420.1 In Germany the following additional requirements to the scope apply to
the second indent of clause 420.1 - against flames and smoke in case of
Germany
a fire hazard being propagated from electrical installations to other fire
compartments segregated by barriers which are in the vicinity, and
421.3 In Germany the following additional requirements for protection against
arcing apply:
421.3 Protective devices shall be installed for protection in case of
arcing where the electrical installation shall meet a high degree of
reliability.

Protective devices for the protection against arcing shall detect the light
effect of the arc and the increase of current in the line conductors.
Furthermore, they shall extinguish the arc within a time of 5 ms and
disconnect the electrical installation from the supply. The extinguishing

of the arc may not be generated before the set limiting values regarding
the light and current detection are exceeded.

Slowly acting protective devices are not able to prevent damage of
goods and that can make it impossible to put the electrical installation in
to operation again within a short time.

In general a separation by use of a metal sheet does not provide the
required arc withstand capability.

421.7 Where in case of a fire hazard from switchgear assemblies heavy smoke
generation in escape corridors may be assumed a sealed fire barrier for
the erection of the switchgear assembly is necessary.

This requirement is fulfilled if the switchgear assembly is placed in an
enclosure of non-combustible material or in a separate location. Ceilings
and walls of the separating location shall have a fireresisting capability
for a time of at least 90 min and doors for a time of at least 30 min.

422.1.2 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
“In Germany for the selection and erection of electrical equipment

Chapter 53 “Erection of low voltage installations –
Part 530: Selection and erection of electrical equipment – Switchgear and
controlgear” applies in addition.”
422.3 Section 422.3 includes, for example, the selection and erection of
installations in locations with risks of fire due to the nature of processed
or stored materials like the manufacturing, processing, storage of
combustible materials, including the accumulation of dust in barns,

wood working factories, paper mills, textile factories or similar.

NOTE  The nature and allowed quantities of combustible materials, or surface or
volume of the locations may be regulated by national authorities.

422.3 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
In Germany the classification in fire-hazard areas is in the response of
the operator/user of the electrical installation, taking into account, if
necessary, the accident prevention regulation BGV A1 by the employers'
liability insurance association/EU-directive 89/654/EWG.
He should consult an expert for the classification. The publication
VdS 2033 „Feuergefährdete Betriebsstätten und diesen gleichzustellende
Risiken“, published by the German Insurance Association (GDV),
contains suitable case studies. Thereafter fire hazard areas are rooms or
places in the rooms or outside in which the danger insists that after local
and operational relations easily flammable materials in hazardous
amount comes closer to the electrical equipment in such a way, that
higher temperatures or arcs form a fire hazard. These can be areas like
work rooms, dry rooms and storerooms, hay camps, straw camps, jute
camps and flax camps as well as such sites outside, e.g., in paper,
textiles or wooden processing companies.
„Easily flammable“ are ignitable firm materials which burn, exposed to
the flame of a match for 10 s, and after removing the ignition source burn
and glow further by itself. Those materials are like hay or straw, straw
dust, shavings, loose wood-wool, magnesium filings, brushwood, loose
paper, tree and cell woollen fibres.
422.3.4 Additional requirements apply in Germany:
NOTE 3  PVC-jacketed cables, e.g., NYM and NYY, and the cable types in Table 1 fulfil the

requirements.

NOTE 4  The recommendation to use cable with improved fire characteristics, is fulfilled,
if the types are according to Table 1. This cable types have also an improved protection
against corrosion damages with halogens and smoke damages.

Where an RCD may not be used, e.g. in the case of high operating
422.3.9a
currents, it is recommended to apply an equivalent protective measure,
e.g. a power switch with a coordinated RCD independent of the supply
voltage according to IEC 60947-2 - Residual current monitoring (RCM)
according to IEC 60020.

NOTE 1  This requirement is generally fulfilled if the disconnection occurs in a
time not exceeding 5 s. In electrical installations with a rated voltage 230/400 V

AC for this purpose RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding
300 mA are used.

NOTE 2  In the case of panel heating systems this requirement is fulfilled if the
disconnection occurs at a power of not more than 7 W at the place of the
insulation fault. In electrical installations with a rated voltage 230/400 V AC for
this purpose, RCDs with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA
are used.
