32、l Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this en

33、d and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Comm

34、ittee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in a

35、ccordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

36、 interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held re

37、sponsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any diverg

38、ence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC ma

39、rks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual exper

40、ts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Pu

41、blication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Pu

42、blication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a techni

43、cal specification when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts, or the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an Intern

44、ational Standard. Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. IEC TS 62996, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 27: Industrial electroheating and

45、electromagnetic processing. 6 IEC TS 62996:2017 IEC 2017 The text of this document is based on the following documents: Draft TS Report on voting 27/1005/DTS 27/1010/RVDTS Full information on the voting for the approval of this document can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above tab

46、le. This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. In this document, the following print types are used: terms defined in Clause 3: in bold type. in Table A.4 and Table A.5, the resulting voltage limits are bolded, for clarity. The committee has decided that the co

47、ntents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be transformed into an International standard, reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by

48、a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IMPORTANT The colour inside logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users shoul

IEC TS 62996:2017 IEC 2017 7 INTRODUCTION Touch and touch currents and voltages constitute a very important category of electrical safety issues particularly for electroheating (EH) equipment and equipment for electro- magnetic processing of materials (EPM). The equipment manufacturer is mandated to adequately reduce any hazard from touching live equipment parts. For being able to do so, assessments and verificat
