    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the electrical safety requirements for all devices connected to HBES/BACS.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard provides the electrical safety requirements for all devices connected to HBES/BACS.

    This European Standard is applicable to

    • operator stations and other human system interface devices,

    • devices for management functions,

    • control devices, automation stations and application specific controllers,

    • field devices,

    • cabling and interconnection of devices.

    This European Standard covers the following requirements and compliance criteria:

    • protection from hazards in the device;

    • protection from overvoltages on the network;

    • protection from touch current;

    • protection from hazards caused by different type of circuits;

    • protection of the communication wiring from overheating caused by excessive current.
