European foreword
This document (EN 15869-1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 15 “Inland
navigation vessels”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2019, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15869-1:2010.
A list of all parts in the EN 15869 series, published under the general title Inland navigation vessels —
Electrical shore connection, three phase current 400 V, 50 Hz, up to 125 A, can be found on the CEN-
CENELEC website.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the maximum operating current has been increased up to 125 A;
— the title has been changed accordingly;
— the scope has been extended and clarified;
— the Normative references have been supplemented;
— Clause 3 has been completed and the definitions of terms adapted to those used in EN 16840;
— requirements common to all parts of the electrical system "shore connection" have been moved
from Part 2 and Part 3 to Part 1 and merged;
— Figure 1 has been adapted to the corresponding figure in EN 16840;
— Clause A.5 has been added to Annex A;
— references from all parts of the EN 15869 series have been combined and inserted in Part 1.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Inland navigation vessels are equipped with a variety of electrical loads operating at 230 V or 400 V.
While underway, continuous electrical power supply is provided by the on-board system from
generators driven by diesel engines. When the vessel is berthed, these generators remain in operation if
there is no suitable onshore power supply available. In some cases, this leads to intense noise pollution
both for the crew on the vessel itself and on other vessels lying alongside and also for residents ashore.
The exhaust fumes are an additional pollution factor.
The electrical shore connections specified in this European Standard make it possible to provide the
vessels with an electrical power supply while berthed and to eliminate noise and exhaust pollution. This
calls for a uniform Europe-wide shore connection that can be activated and deactivated by the vessel's
crew in all ports and berths, if possible, without requiring any assistance from shore-based personnel.
This European Standard contains electrical safety requirements for the prevention of hazards in
making, using and breaking the shore connection.
Furthermore, cashless settlement for the electricity used should be possible, ideally a standard Europe-
wide payment system.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for electrical installations for the shore supply of berthing inland
navigation vessels with electrical energy, three-phase current 400 V, 50 Hz with a rated current of up to
125 A.
This document applies to the supply of inland navigation vessels in ports and moorings for commercial
inland navigation.
This document specifies general requirements and contains information on the billing procedure.
For the supply of small craft and houseboats in marinas and similar installations the requirements of
HD 60364-7-709 apply.
For electrical shore connections with a current rating more than 125 A, which are suitable for
passenger ships with hotel operation, EN 16840 applies.
The requirements for the HD 60364 series and HD 384 series generally apply to low-voltage systems on
shore. A detailed list of the relevant parts is given in the Bibliography.
