The standard defines the methods to be used to protect people against electric shock. The Latest edition (5.1) is dated March 2017.<\/p>\n

The standard has the status of a Group Safety Publication<\/strong> (IEC Guide 104); that means it is primarily intended to be used by other Technical Committees while writing their specific Product Safety Standards. That also means it is not a product safety Standard and it cannot be applied as it is to a specific electrical installation. That is the main difference with NFPA 70 or the CE Code. Those can be used directly to design a safe electrical distribution in buildings.<\/p>\n

The series of standards of IEC 60364 are the base for writing the Electrical codes\u00a0of several countries around the world. Hereafter a small list of the countries Electrical Code:<\/p>\n
