Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 6: Verification

Scope

IEC 60364-6:2026 (E) provides requirements for initial verification, by inspection and testing, of an electrical installation to determine, as far as reasonably practicable, whether the requirements of IEC 60364-1, IEC 60364-4, IEC 60364-5 and IEC 60364-8 have been met, and requirements for the reporting of the results of the initial verification. The initial verification takes place upon the completion of a new electrical installation or completion of an addition or an alteration to an existing electrical installation.
This document provides requirements for periodic verification of an electrical installation to determine, as far as reasonably practicable, whether the electrical installation and all its constituent equipment are in a satisfactory condition for continued use and requirements for the reporting of the results of the periodic verification.
