This part of IEC 60974 specifies safety requirements for industrial and professional arc
striking and arc stabilizing devices used in arc welding and allied processes.
This part of IEC 60974 is applicable to stand-alone arc striking and arc stabilizing devices that
are either connected to a separate welding power source or built into the welding power
source enclosure.
NOTE 1 Typical allied processes are for example plasma arc cutting and arc spraying.
NOTE 2 This standard does not include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
