Some examples of general sections include: grounding and bonding, protection and control, conductors, and definitions.
Part II is a collection of individual standards for the evaluation of electrical equipment or installations.
Part VI establishes standards for the inspection of electrical installation in residential buildings.
These standards do not prescribe specific solutions for every case but instead give guidance to the user on achievement of the safety objectives of IEC 60364.
Since it is less prescriptive, the OBIEC allows industrial users to use new technology not yet represented in the CE Code Part II.
Use of this OBIEC is restricted to industrial and institutional users who have a safety management program in place and the engineering resources to implement the regulations.
It is intended that users of the OBIEC will maintain safety while using methods that will reduce the installation cost of large industrial plants, for example, in the petrochemical business.
