Sets out requirements for electrical equipment to ensure it is constructed in accordance with good engineering practice in regard to safety, such that it does not endanger the safety of persons (particularly children, the elderly, and people with disabilities), domestic animals or property, when properly installed, maintained and used in applications for which it was made. This standard covers any equipment designed for use with a supply or output voltage not exceeding 1000 Volts for alternating current and 1500 Volts for direct current and intended for the purposes of generation, conversion, transmission, distribution or utilisation of electricity. Medical electrical equipment and electrical equipment used in hazardous areas are subject to additional essential safety requirements to those included in this standard.
