BS HD 60364-8-2:2018

This part of IEC60364 provides additional requirements, measures and recommendations for design, erection and verification of all types of low-voltage electrical installation according to IEC60364‑1:2005, Clause11, including local production and/or storage of energy in order to ensure compatibility with the existing and future ways to deliver electrical energy to current-using equipment or to the public network by means of local sources. Such electrical installations are designated as prosumer’s electrical installations (PEIs). This document also provides requirements for proper behaviour and actions of PEIs in order to efficiently obtain sustainable and safe operations of these installations when integrated into smart grids. These requirements and recommendations apply, within the scope of IEC60364(all parts), for new installations and modification of existing installations. NOTE Electrical sources for safety services including associated electrical installations and standby electrical supply systems for a secure continuity of supply, which are operated only occasionally and for short periods (e.g. monthly one hour) in parallel with the distribution grid for testing purposes, are outside the scope of this document.
