Sets out safety requirements for stand-alone power systems used for the supply of extra-low and low voltage power, with energy storage at extra-low voltage.

This Standard sets out safety requirements for stand-alone power systems used for the supply of extra-low and low voltage electric power to a single residence or a small group of residences or buildings and associated items, with energy storage at extra-low voltage. Equipment up to, and including, the system output terminals is covered by this Standard.
