    IEC 61557-5:2019 is available as IEC 61557-5:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

    IEC 61557-5:2019 specifies the requirements applicable to measuring equipment for measuring the resistance to earth using an AC voltage. IEC 61557-5:2019 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
    a) definitions and symbols in Clause 3 modified;
    b) subclauses in Clause 4 restructured and aligned with other parts of the series;
    c) limits for reduced voltages 25 V RMS or 35 V peak removed from 4.5;
    d) requirements for clamps added;
    e) marking for rated voltages to earth and measurement category added to Clause 5;
    f) warning about absence of hazardous voltage added in Clause 5;
    g) the term \'percentage operating uncertainty\' replaced by \'operating uncertainty\' in Clause 6;
    h) equation for uncertainty corrected in Table 1;
    i) new Annex A on test measurements with loop clamps added.
