The effects of current passing through the human body for:
– alternating sinusoidal current with DC components,
– alternating sinusoidal current with phase control, and
– alternating sinusoidal current with multicycle control
are given but are only deemed applicable for alternating current frequencies from 15 Hz up to 100 Hz.
Means of extending the frequency of applicability of pure sinusoids to a frequency of 150 kHz are given and means of examining random complex irregular waveforms are given.
This document describes the effects of current passing through the human body in the form of single and multiple successive unidirectional rectangular impulses, sinusoidal impulses and impulses resulting from capacitor discharges. The values specified are deemed to be applicable for impulse durations from 0,1 ms up to and including 10 ms.
This document only considers conducted current resulting from the direct application of a source of current to the body, as does IEC 60479-1. It does not consider current induced within the body caused by its exposure to an external electromagnetic field.

IEC/TR 61200-52:2013 is Technical Report which serves as a supplement to IEC 60364-5-52:2009 and explains the rules so as to facilitate the design, selection, erection and maintenance of wiring systems. It follows the numbering of that standard. This technical report is written for everyone concerned with the design, the selection and supply of equipment, as well as the persons who install, maintain and use electrical installations. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1993, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- guidance associated with conduit systems, cable ducting systems, cable trunking systems, cable tray systems and cable ladder systems has been added giving, for example, recommended maximum straight lengths of conduit to ease the installation circuit wiring;
- guidance associated with selection and erection of wiring systems in relation to external influences has been extended to cover impact, and other mechanical stresses;
- guidance for grouping of cables has been added; and
- guidance on maximum temperatures of terminals in normal service conditions has been extended.

IEC 60364-7-713:2013 applies to the wiring system of furniture (and similar fitments) which is connected to the electrical installation. Examples are beds, cupboards, desks and shop display cases, in which electrical equipment such as luminaires, installation couplers according to IEC 61535, socket-outlets, switching devices and wiring systems are installed. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes changes to the scope: the requirements of Part 7-713 now apply to electrical equipment of furniture connected to a supply with a nominal voltage UO not exceeding 230 V and a total load current not exceeding 32 A, including three-phase 32 A supplies. This new edition makes reference to Part 4-41 additional protection and requires that the fixed circuit is protected by an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.

IEC 60364-7-709:2007+A1:2012 applies only to circuits intended to supply pleasure craft or houseboats in marinas and similar locations. The particular requirements do not apply to the supply of house boats if they are directly supplied from the public network. The particular requirements do not apply to the internal electrical installations of pleasure craft or house boats. For the remainder of the electrical installation of marinas and similar locations the general requirements of IEC 60364 together with the relevant particular requirements of IEC 60364-7 apply. This second edition of IEC 60364-7-709 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1994. It constitutes a technical revision. The major changes with regard to the previous edition concern are the removal of the requirements for the electrical installation in pleasure craft (these are now covered by IEC 60092-507) and the alignment of the requirements with those in other parts of IEC 60364. This consolidated version consists of the second edition (2007) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.

IEC 60364-5-55:2011 The particular requirements apply to extra-low-voltage lighting installations supplied from sources with a maximum rated voltage of 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. For the definition of an extra-low voltage lighting system reference should be made to IEC 60598-2-23. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1999, and constitutes a technical revision. The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are:
- the clause numbering is aligned with the present structure of IEC 60364;
- references to LED modules and their particular installation requirements have been introduced;
- and requirements for cross-sectional area of conductors are modified.

IEC 60364-7-714:2011 applies to the selection and erection of luminaires and lighting installations forming part of an outdoor fixed installation. The origin of the external lighting installation is the supply delivery point of electrical energy by the supply authority or the origin of the circuit supplying the external lighting installation exclusively. The requirements apply to, for example, lighting installations for roads, parks, gardens, places open to the public, sporting areas, illumination of monuments, floodlighting, telephone kiosks, bus shelters, advertising panels, town plans and road signs. The requirements do not apply to:
- public street-lighting installations which are part of the public power grid;
- temporary festoon lighting;
- road traffic signal systems;
- and luminaires which are fixed to the outside of a building and are supplied directly from the internal wiring of that building.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996, and constitutes a technical revision. The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
- clause numbering is aligned with present structure of IEC 60364;
- additional protection is required in some cases of equipment incorporating lighting;
- more stringent requirements regarding IP degree of protection;
- introduction of particular requirements for isolation.

IEC/TR 60479-4:2011 summarizes the basic parameters for lightning and their variability insofar as they apply to human beings and livestock. The possible direct and indirect interactions of strikes with bodies of living beings are indicated. The resulting effects caused by lightning currents for the organism are described. The intention is to show the differences of effects on human beings and livestock due to lightning strokes versus those effects of electric shocks derived from electrical systems.
