21、designated “informative” are given only for information. In this European Standard, Annex ZA is normative.

The following dates were fixed: INFORMATION as to original IEC text The Fo
25、reword of IEC Publication 215 is not part of this European Standard. It reads: 1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possibl
26、e, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with. 2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 3) In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committee
27、s should adopt the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in the latter. Preface This standard has been p
28、repared by Sub-Committee 12C: Transmitting Equipment, of IEC Technical Committee No. 12: Radiocommunications. This third edition replaces the second edition of IECPublication215 (1978).

36、ces in a single volume, two earlier IEC Publications: 215:1978 and 284:1968. The requirements and test methods in this standard are similar to those given in the second edition of IECPublication215 and continue to apply only to radio transmitting equipment operating under the responsibility of skill
37、ed personnel as defined in Sub-clause3.1. The text ofAppendix E is based on the contents of IEC Publication284, which has now been withdrawn. The titles of IEC publications and publications of other international bodies referred to in this standard are given inAppendix A. 1 Scope This standard appli
38、es to radio transmitting equipment, including any auxiliary apparatus necessary for its normal operation as defined in IECPublication244-1, operating under the responsibility of skilled personnel. It applies to all radio transmitting equipment and ancillary apparatus, including combining units and m
39、atching networks. Only the antenna system and associated feeder lines are excluded. This standard does not apply to transmitters of safety-insulated construction using double insulation or reinforced insulation and without provision for protective earthing. This type of equipment is designated “Clas
40、s II Equipment” in IEC Publication536 and is usually marked with the symbol shown in Sub-clauseC.2.2 ofAppendix C. 2 Object This standard deals with protection against: electric shock; skin burns; high temperature and fire; implosion and explosion; harmful radiation; miscellaneous hazards. Design an
41、d construction requirements and, where appropriate, test methods are specified covering: a) the safety of skilled personnel when operating, carrying out routine adjustments to, and as far as practicable, during fault finding and repairing the equipment; b) the safety of personnel, including unskille
42、d personnel directed by skilled personnel, when the equipment is operating normally, and also when operating under certain specific fault conditions which may arise in normal use; c) the prevention of fire and its spread. These requirements do not necessarily ensure the safety of unskilled personnel
43、 working on the equipment when it is not in normal operation. Tests are specified, where appropriate, for checking that the equipment meets the safety requirements of this standard when operating normally and also under the specified fault conditions. The tests should be carried out on a representat
44、ive set of equipment in order to determine whether the design meets the requirements of this standard. The tests are neither mandatory nor limiting and may be modified by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. The use of this standard is not, however, intended to be restricted to type tests.
45、It may also be used for acceptance tests after installation of the equipment, for tests after modifications to parts of the equipment, and for tests at appropriate intervals to ensure the continuing safety of the equipment throughout its life.EN60215:1989 6 BSI 04-2000 Section 1. Terminology 3 Defin
46、itions The following definitions apply for the purpose of this standard. 3.1 skilled personnel personnel are considered to be skilled if they have the necessary knowledge and practical experience of electrical and radio engineering to appreciate the various hazards that can arise from working on rad
47、io transmitters, and to take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of personnel guidance on assessing the competence of personnel for designation as skilled is given inAppendix D NOTEThe above definition and the guidance in Appendix D detail the minimum requirements for a skilled person. In s
48、ome countries more stringent requirements for qualifications, training and experience are stipulated, with formal certification. 3.2 electrically safe a part is electrically safe if it cannot cause a harmful electric shock or radio-frequency skin-burn the conditions for a part to be electrically saf
49、e are: either a) The voltage between the part and earth, and also between the part and any other accessible part, does not exceed72V peak when measured with an instrument having an internal resistance of not less than10k7 per volt; or b) the voltage exceeds72V peak, but the following limits with regard to both current and capacity apply: Where the current is measured in a non-inductive resistor of2k7 connected between the part concerned and earth or any other accessible part; and where R is the frequency in kilohertz. Where the
