Overview

HD 60364-7-711:2019 (adopting IEC 60364-7-711:2018) is the harmonized CENELEC/CLC standard that sets safety requirements for low-voltage temporary electrical installations in exhibitions, shows and stands. It covers fixed, mobile and portable displays and equipment used in indoor and outdoor event locations. This edition replaces the 2007 version, is a technical revision, and aligns requirements with IEC 60364-4-41 (protection against electric shock). The IEC Redline (RLV) version shows technical changes compared to the previous edition.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and definitions: applicability to temporary installations, mobile displays and stands; terms used for supplies and structure of installations.
• Protection for safety:
  • Protection against electric shock (alignment with IEC 60364-4-41).
  • Measures such as automatic disconnection of supply and use of SELV/PELV where applicable.
  • Additional protection (supplementary measures for user safety).
• Protection against thermal effects and fire: precautions where particular fire risk exists for event environments.
• Selection and erection of electrical equipment:
  • Common rules for installation practice and site conditions (including outdoors).
  • Wiring systems and approved types for temporary use, plus guidance on electrical connections.
• Isolation, switching and control: coordination of protective devices, requirements for isolation and switching of temporary supplies.
• Other equipment: specific considerations for luminaires, lighting installations and similar equipment used in exhibition contexts.
• National conditions and deviations: Annexes list country-specific requirements (examples include France, Germany, Ireland, Czech Republic) that modify or add to the harmonized text.

Practical applications

• Designing and specifying temporary power distribution for trade shows, fairs, concerts, pop‑up events and exhibition stands.
• Selecting protective devices and wiring systems for stand builders, rental suppliers and lighting/AV contractors.
• Preparing site electrical layouts, earthing/bonding schemes and risk assessments for event safety.
• Creating compliance documentation for venue managers, health & safety officers and electrical inspectors.

Who should use this standard

• Electrical designers and consultants for events and exhibitions
• Stand contractors, riggers and temporary installation electricians
• Venue operators, exhibition organizers and safety officers
• Certification bodies and inspectors assessing compliance with low-voltage installation rules

Related standards and references

HD 60364-7-711 references and aligns with other IEC/HD standards in the 60364 series (notably IEC 60364-4-41) and with standards for cables, plugs/outlets (IEC 60227, 60309 series) and lighting equipment. Consult the normative references in the standard for complete cross-references.

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.
