INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION ____________
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS IN SHIPS –
Part 507: Small vessels
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 60092-507 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 18: Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008 and constitutes a technical revision.
This third edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) The standard now clarifies its application for electrical installations in those recreational craft which require to conform to the Recreational Craft Directive. b) The standard specifies requirements for methods of galvanic isolation for small vessels and recreational craft connecting to a low voltage AC shore supply.
c) The standard includes design guidance for electric propulsion systems suitable for small vessels and associated installation requirements.

Part 507: Small vessels
1 Scope 1.1 General This part of IEC 60092 specifies requirements for the design, construction and installation of electrical systems in small vessels, which have a length of up to 50 m, or which have a gross tonnage not exceeding 500 Gross Tonnes (GT), designed for use on inland waters or at sea. It is not intended to apply to:
a) small craft equipped only with a battery supplying circuits for engine starting and navigation lighting recharged from an inboard or outboard engine driven alternator. b) recreational craft of less than 24 m hull length requiring to conform to the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC Annex 1 Essential Requirements Part 5.3 Electrical systems, except for three-phase alternating current installations in such recreational craft which operate at a nominal voltage not exceeding AC 500 V. 1.2 Electrical systems This standard applies to the types of DC and AC electrical systems described below, individually or in combination. a) Direct current system which operates at a nominal voltage not exceeding DC 50 V. For many small vessels, this will be the main electrical system supported by batteries for engine starting, navigation lights, navigational aids and communications equipment, lighting and other DC power consumer or converter equipment.
b) Single-phase alternating current system which operates at a nominal voltage not exceeding AC 250 V. Such a system may be the principal electrical power system of a vessel or a system which may only be energized when connected to a shore supply. AC extra-low voltage, safety extra-low voltage, and other circuits may also comprise part of a single-phase AC system. A vessel may also be equipped with DC system(s) for equipment supplied from batteries as in 1.2 a) above. c) Three-phase alternating current system which operates at a nominal voltage not exceeding AC 500 V. The three-phase system is likely to be the principal electrical power system of a vessel’s electrical installation. Such a vessel may also be equipped with single-phase AC circuits(s) similar to 1.2 b) above and DC system(s) for equipment supplied from batteries as in 1.2 a) above. NOTE 1 Concerning recreational craft of less than 24 m hull length referenced in 1.1 b) above, the following standards apply: – for direct current installations which operate at a nominal voltage not exceeding DC 50 V: ISO 10133; – for single-phase alternating current installations which operate at a nominal voltage not exceeding AC 250 V single phase: ISO 13297. NOTE 2 For alternating current systems having voltages exceeding AC 250 V single-phase or AC 500 V three-phase, for direct current systems exceeding DC 50 V, and for vessels larger than 500 GT or with a length greater than 50 m, other standards within the IEC 60092 series apply. NOTE 3 Attention is drawn to regulations which govern specific requirements for navigation lights for s
