Edition date: 2026-04-01
In Force
Available languages: French, English
Summary: This document specifies the safety requirements for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine driven generating sets up to 1 000 V alternating current (AC) or 1 500 V direct current (DC) and voltages above 1 000 V (AC) and not exceeding 36 kV consisting of an RIC engine, an AC generator including the additional equipment required for operating, e.g. controlgear, switchgear, auxiliary equipment. This document is applicable to generating sets for land and marine use (domestic, recreational and industrial application). This document is not applicable to generating sets used on board of seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units as well as on aircraft or to propel road vehicles and locomotives. This document is not applicable to gensets and components manufactured before the date of its publication. NOTE            This document does not apply to arc welding equipment (IEC 60974 series). This document does not specify the special requirements needed to cover operation in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not applicable for such environments. The hazards relevant to RIC engine driven generating sets are identified in Table A.1. This document deals with the special requirements of test and safety design which are observed in addition to the definitions and requirements in ISO 8528-1:2018, ISO 8528-2:2018, ISO 8528-3:2020, ISO 8528-4:2025, ISO 8528-5:2025, ISO 8528-6:2023 and ISO 8528-10:2022, where applicable. This document specifies safety requirements in order to protect the user from danger.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité applicables aux groupes électrogènes composées d’un groupe électrogène à courant alternatif entraînés par moteurs alternatifs à combustion interne jusqu’à 1 000 V en courant alternatif ou 1 500 V en courant continu et pour les tensions supérieures à 1 000 V et ne dépassant pas 36 kV, d’un générateur de courant alternatif, y compris les équipements supplémentaires requis pour leur fonctionnement, par exemple appareillage de commande et de coupure et équipement auxiliaire. Le présent document est applicable aux groupes électrogènes utilisés pour des applications terrestres et marines (applications domestiques, de loisirs et industrielles). Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux groupes électrogènes utilisés sur les navires de haute mer et les unités mobiles «off shore» ainsi qu’à bord des aéronefs ou pour la propulsion de véhicules terrestres et de locomotives. Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux groupes électrogènes et composants fabriqués avant la date de sa publication. NOTE            Le présent document ne s’applique pas au matériel de soudage à l’arc (série IEC 60974). Le présent document ne définit pas les exigences particulières nécessaires pour couvrir un fonctionnement en atmosphères potentiellement explosibles et n’est pas applicable à de tels environnements. Les phénomènes dangereux relatifs aux groupes électrogènes entraînés par moteurs alternatifs à combustion interne sont identifiés dans le Tableau A.1. Le présent document traite des exigences particulières d’essai et de conception relative à la sécurité à respecter, en complément des définitions et des exigences spécifiées dans les ISO 8528-1:2018, ISO 8528-2:2018, ISO 8528-3:2020, ISO 8528-4:2005, ISO 8528-5:2025, ISO 8528-6:2023 et ISO 8528-10:2022, le cas échéant. Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité visant à protéger l’utilisateur de tout danger.

Dieses Dokument legt die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen an Stromerzeugungsaggregate mit Hubkolben-Verbrennungsmotoren (RIC, en: Reciprocating Internal Combustion) von bis zu 1 000 V Wechselstrom (AC) oder 1 500 V Gleichstrom (DC) und Spannungen über 1 000 V (AC) und nicht über 36 kV, die aus einem Hubkolben-Verbrennungsmotor, einem Wechselstromgenerator einschließlich der zusätzlichen für den Betrieb erforderlichen Ausstattung bestehen, z. B. Bedien- und Schalteinrichtungen, Hilfsausrüstung. Dieses Dokument gilt für Stromerzeugungsaggregate für den Land- und Schiffseinsatz (Hausgebrauch, Anwendung in der Freizeit sowie in industriellen Anwendungen). Das Dokument gilt nicht für Stromerzeugungsaggregate, die an Bord von Hochseeschiffen und beweglichen Offshore-Anlagen sowie in Luftfahrzeugen oder zum Antrieb von Straßenfahrzeugen und Lokomotiven verwendet werden. Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Stromerzeugungsaggregate und Bauteile, die vor dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments hergestellt wurden. ANMERKUNG Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Lichtbogenschweißeinrichtungen (Reihe IEC 60974). Dieses Dokument legt nicht die besonderen Anforderungen fest, die erforderlich sind, um den Betrieb in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen abzudecken, und ist nicht anwendbar auf solche Umgebungen. Die Gefährdungen in Bezug auf Stromerzeugungsaggregate mit Hubkolben-Verbrennungsmotor sind in Tabelle A.1 festgelegt. Dieses Dokument behandelt die besonderen Anforderungen an die Prüfung und die sicherheitstechnische Ausführung, die zusätzlich zu den in ISO 8528 1:2018, ISO 8528 2:2018, ISO 8528 3:2020, ISO 8528 4:2025, ISO 8528 5:2025, ISO 8528 6:2023 und ISO 8528 10:2022 dargelegten Definitionen und Anforderungen beachtet werden, sofern zutreffend. Dieses Dokument legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen fest, um den Anwender vor Gefährdungen zu schützen.
