FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical 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 end 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 Committee 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 accordance 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 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 responsible 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 divergence 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 marks 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 experts 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 Publication 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 Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61243-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 78: Live working. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009. It is a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– requirement and test to manage interference voltages at power frequencies; – informative annex on voltage detectors and the presence of interference voltages. SIST EN 61243-3:2015

– 8 – IEC 61243-3:2014  IEC 2014 INTRODUCTION The devices covered by this standard are designed to be used in a live working environment to determine the status (presence or absence of operating voltage) of low-voltage installations. The live working environment comes with its specific hazards and working conditions, which are generally more severe than the ones encountered by workers in other fields than live working. This International Standard is a product standard giving essential requirements and tests to verify that the devices perform well and will contribute to the safety of the users, provided they are used by skilled persons, and according to safe working procedures and to local or national regulations. Voltage detectors are not considered as measuring or testing devices, separately covered by IEC 61010 series. However, in case of misuse by general electrical workers, the requirements and tests included in this document are intended to achieve an equivalent level of safety. To take into consideration the specific needs of a live working environment, the following differences exist with IEC 61010 series: – some requirements and tests exist in both standards but with different sanctions or pass test criteria (see A.1); – some requirements of IEC 61010 are not included in this standard (see A.2, with rationale); – some additional requirements of this standard are not specified in IEC 61010 with the rationale (see A.3). This International Standard has been prepared according to the requirements of IEC 61477, where applicable. The product covered by this standard may have an impact on the environment during some or all stages of its life cycle. These impacts can range from slight to significant, be of short-term or long-term effect, and occur at the global, regional or local level.
This standard does not include requirements and test provisions for the manufacturers of the product, or recommendations to the users of the product for environmental improvement. However, all parties intervening in its design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, use, maintenance, repair, reuse, recovery and disposal are invited to take account of environmental considerations.
