IEC 60364-8-1:2019(E) provides additional requirements, measures and recommendations for the design, erection and verification of all types of low-voltage electrical installation including local production and storage of energy for optimizing the overall efficient use of electricity. It introduces requirements and recommendations for the design of an electrical installation within the framework of an energy efficiency management approach in order to get the best permanent functionally equivalent service for the lowest electrical energy consumption and the most acceptable energy availability and economic balance. These requirements and recommendations apply, within the scope of the IEC 60364 series, for new installations and modification of existing installations. This standard is applicable to the electrical installation of a building or system and does not apply to products. The energy efficiency of these products and their operational requirements are covered by the relevant product standards. This standard does not specifically address building automation systems. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) revision of Annex B; b) revision of 4.2: Energy efficiency assessment for electrical installations; c) update of 8.3: Input from loads, sensors and forecasts; d) introduction of new definitions. This group energy efficiency publication is primarily intended to be used as an energy efficiency standard for the low voltage electrical installations mentioned in Clause 1, but is also intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of standards, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 119 and IEC Guide 118. The contents of the corrigendum of May 2019 have been included in this copy.

This section applies to the electrical installation of PV generator intended to supply all or part of an installation and feeding of electricity into the public grid or local distribution. In this section, the electrical equipment of a PV generator, like any other item of electrical equipment, is dealt with only so far as its selection and application in the installation is concerned. The electrical installation of a PV generator starts from a PV module or a set of PV modules connected in series with their cables, provided by the PV module manufacturer, up to the user installation or the utility supply point. Requirements of this document apply to – PV generators for supply to an installation which is not connected to a system for distribution of electricity to the public, – PV generators for supply to an installation in parallel with a system for distribution of electricity to the public, – PV generators for supply to an installation as an alternative to a system for distribution of electricity to the public, – appropriate combination of the above. Requirements for PV generators with batteries or other energy storage methods are under consideration.

The rules of IEC 60364-4-44 are intended to provide requirements for the safety of electrical installations in the event of voltage disturbances and electromagnetic disturbances generated for different specified reasons. The rules of this IEC 60364-4-44 are not intended to apply to systems for distribution of energy to the public, or power generation and transmission for such systems (see the scope of IEC 60364-1) although such disturbances may be conducted into or between electrical installations via these supply systems. Clause 443 specifies requirements for protection of electrical installations against transient overvoltages of atmospheric origin transmitted by the supply distribution system including direct strikes to the supply system and against switching overvoltages. Clause 443 does not specify requirements for protection against transient overvoltage due to direct or nearby lightning strokes on the structure. NOTE For risk management for protection against transient overvoltage due to direct or nearby lightning strokes on the structure, see IEC 62305-2.

IEC 60364-7-753:2014 applies to embedded electric heating systems for surface heating. It also applies to electric heating systems for de-icing or frost prevention or similar applications. Both indoor and outdoor systems are covered. Heating systems for industrial and commercial applications complying with relevant parts of IEC 60519, IEC 62395 and IEC 60079 are not covered. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the title has been changed from "Floor and ceiling heating systems" to "Heating cables and embedded heating systems" to align with the revised scope; - the scope has been extended and now covers embedded electric heating systems for surface heating, also electric heating systems for de-icing or frost prevention or similar applications, and covers both indoor and outdoor systems. This includes heating systems for: walls, ceiling, floors, roofs, drainpipes, gutters, pipes, stairs, roadways, non-hardened compacted areas (e.g. football fields, lawns); - for wall heating systems, this standard contains additional requirements (e.g. metal sheath/enclosure/grid) to protect against the effects of overheating caused by a short-circuit between live conductors due to penetration of an embedded heating unit; - from heating units delivered from the manufacturer without exposed-conductive-parts, this standard requires a metallic mesh grid covering. This has been reduced to 3 mm for wall heating systems; - this standard now requires that electric heating systems shall be selected and erected so as to avoid any harmful influence between the heating system and any electrical or non-electrical installations envisaged; - and this standard covers surface temperatures and now refers the reader to the appropriate IEC guide.
