The main technical differences with respect to IEC 60947-5-1:2016 and the reasons are as follows:
——As for the normative references, adjustments of technical differences are made to this part to keep them in line with the technical conditions in China. The adjustments are embodied in a concentrated way in Clause 2 "Normative references", specifically as follows:
The national standard GB/T 14048.1-2012 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 1: General rules is added.
——The requirements for humidity resisting qualities of materials are modified to "as specified in GB/T 14048.1-2012, Annex K" in 7.1.2.1 "General materials requirements". As IEC 60947-5-1:2016 does not gives specific requirements, but only states that "special attention shall be called", which cannot meet the needs of actual test verification in China, this requirement is modified.
——8.2.1.2 "Humidity resistance test" is added to the content of materials in Clause 8 "Tests". This subclause is added because the specific requirements for humidity resisting qualities of materials have been modified in 7.1.2.1.
This standard was proposed by the China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association.
This part is under the jurisdiction of SAC/TC 189 National Technical Committee on Low-voltage Apparatus of Standardization Administration of China.
The previous editions of this part are as follows:
——GB 14048.5-1993, GB 14048.5-2001, and GB/T 14048.5-2008.
