The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) published the IEC 60204:2014 Standard, which was subsequently revised and updated in April 2023. This standard pertains to safety aspects of machinery incorporating electrical equipment and applies to all components involved within such systems. Its primary objective is to ensure that mechanical and electrical parts are integrated safely and efficiently, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and malfunctions in industrial settings.
The IEC 60204:2014 SER (Supplementary Information) provides additional guidance on compliance with safety requirements for machinery utilizing electrical equipment. It details specific measures that must be taken to ensure that all parts conform to international standards designed to protect both operators and the environment from potential hazards associated with improper use or malfunction of machinery.
This standard is essential for designers, manufacturers, installers, maintainers, and users of machinery incorporating electrically powered components. It covers a wide range of safety aspects including design principles, installation practices, operational procedures, maintenance activities, and disposal considerations to ensure comprehensive protection across the lifecycle of equipment.
