BS EN IEC 61293 establishes minimum requirements and general rules on marking electric equipment with ratings and other characteristics to enable the proper and safe selection and installation of electric equipment related to any supply of electricity.
BS EN IEC 61293 is primarily intended for application by technical committees when specifying minimum markings of ratings related to any electrical supply of equipment, sub-assemblies, and components, but it is also for application by product manufacturers for marking their products.
BS EN IEC 61293 on marking of electrical equipment is useful for:
Markings on products are an important part of product quality and safety. They provide important information to the consumer like warnings, disclaimers, product quality ratings, product specifications, and guidelines for use. These markings ensure that the product is used in a safe manner by the consumer.
BS EN IEC 61293 provides general requirements for the marking of the characteristics related to any supply system, such as voltage, current, frequency and power, without any restrictions. BS EN IEC 61293 promotes standardizing the methods for marking electrical rating for the product.
BS EN IEC 61293 ensures that you mark your products so they can convey their safety requirements clearly to the consumer.
