IEC 61557-14 Ed. 1.0 b – Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c and 1 500 V d.c – Equipment for testing,measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 14: Equipment for testing the safety of electrical equipment for machinery

IEC 61557-14:2013 defines special requirements for test and measurement equipment used to determine the electrical safety of electrical equipment of machinery according to IEC 60204-1. IEC 61010 and the existing parts of series IEC 61557 do not cover all safety aspects of testing electrical equipment of machinery. IEC 61557-14 provides additional protection against electric shock for the testing person and bystanders during high-voltage-tests and in case of unintended use of the test equipment. It defines performance requirements for each measuring and testing function to ensure comparable results.
