The handbook is intended for engineers and electricians who dealing with installation, maintenance and service of machines.

The booklet helps to define correct procedures for verification of electrical safety of machines according to the IEC/EN 60204, Ed.5 standard.

The handbook describes typical hazardous situations related to electrical equipment and determines the measurements (methods and limits) for verification of the electrical safety of machines.

The complete verification procedure for machines includes visual inspection, verification of protection against indirect contact, insulation resistance test, high voltage test, protection against residual voltages and functional tests.

Each test is clearly described and provided with connection diagram and advises how to perform the measurement.

Detailed flowcharts for selection of appropriate test sequence and limit values for different measurements are included into the handbook.
