IEC 60204-11:2018 RLV contains the International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only. The Redline version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between this standard and its previous edition. The Redline version is not an official IEC Standard, only the current version of the standard is to be considered the official document.

IEC 60204-11:2018 applies to electrical and electronic equipment and systems to machines, including a group of machines working together in a co-ordinated manner, which operate at nominal voltages above 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC and not exceeding 36 kV AC or DC with nominal frequencies not exceeding 60 Hz. IEC 60204-11:2018 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition contains significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition regarding the following:
– aspects of risk assessment, which are mirrored from ISO 12100;
– equipotential bonding and earthing;
– EMC and power quality;
– HV switchgear and controlgear;
– creepage distances for conductors and slip-ring assemblies;
– a list of machinery using HV equipment, in Annex A.
IEC 60204-11:2018 has been updated and improved to reflect the experience gained with the first edition and the evolution of high-voltage equipment reflected in the relevant standards. Regarding formal requirements, IEC 60204-11 has been aligned with
– IEC 60204-1:2016,
– IEC 61936-1:2010 and IEC 61936-1:2010/AMD1:2014,
– IEC 62271 (all parts). This document is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60204-1.
