Overview
EN 50186-2:1998/A1:2019 is a CENELEC amendment that defines specific national requirements (national annexes) for live-line washing systems used on power installations with nominal voltages above 1 kV. This document is intended to be read together with EN 50186-1 "Operation of electrical installations - Part 1: General requirements" and provides the national-level adaptations that apply in addition to the general European standard.
This amendment (A1) was prepared by CLC/TC 78 "Equipment and tools for live working" and approved by CENELEC on 9 August 2019. It sets the framework for national implementation and the withdrawal of conflicting national standards by defined dates.
Key Topics
- Purpose: Clarifies how national annexes complement EN 50186-1 for live-line washing systems above 1 kV.
- Scope: Applies to live-line washing systems for power installations and to national adaptations required by CENELEC members.
- Amendment details: Title modified to read "Part 2: Specific national requirements (national annexes to EN 50186-1:1998)".
- Country-specific note: For Germany, amendment A1 specifies that EN 50522 (Earthing of power installations exceeding 1 kV AC) should be considered for earthing requirements under subclause 5.6.
- Implementation timeline: National adoption and withdrawal dates are set by the amendment (latest implementation and withdrawal dates are provided in the foreword).
- Languages and status: Available in English, French and German; translations notified by CENELEC members have the same status.
Applications
EN 50186-2:1998/A1:2019 is primarily useful for:
- Utility operators and network owners seeking clear national requirements for live-line washing operations on overhead and other outdoor power installations above 1 kV.
- Standards and compliance teams ensuring that local procedures, procurement specifications and contractor obligations reflect both EN 50186-1 and the applicable national annexes.
- Health & safety and live working programme managers who require harmonised, nationally consistent guidance to reduce operational risk during live-line washing activities.
Key practical benefits include harmonised requirements across CENELEC member states, clearer interaction between European general provisions and national rules, and explicit reference points (for example, earthing standards) to guide compliant implementations.
Related Standards
- EN 50186-1: Operation of electrical installations - Part 1: General requirements (primary normative reference).
- EN 50522: Earthing of power installations exceeding 1 kV AC (referenced for earthing in certain national annexes, notably Germany).
For implementation, consult the national annex relevant to your country and coordinate with national electrotechnical committees or the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre for up-to-date bibliographic references and status of national adoption.
