1 Scope
This International Standard applies to radio transmitting equipment, operating under
the responsibility of SKILLED persons. It also applies to auxiliary equipment and ancillary apparatus, including
combining units and matching networks and cooling systems where these form an integral
part of the transmitter system.
The requirements of IEC 60215 may also be used to meet safety requirements for cognate equipment. Examples of equipment
that could be within the scope of this International Standard are shown in Table 1.

Examples of equipment
| Generic product type |
Specific example of generic type |
| RF amplifiers |
High power RF amplifiers used for industrial, medical or scientific applications |
| High-voltage power supplies (HVPS) |
DC HVPS based on PSM technology or any cognate technology |
Table 1 is not intended to be comprehensive, and equipment that is not listed is not necessarily
excluded.
When the equipment is to be manufactured and/or installed in territories that have
safety standards covering the scope of this International Standard that are more stringent,
then those standards apply.
Antenna systems, associated feeder lines and matching networks, not forming an integral
part of the transmitter, are excluded.
This International Standard does not apply to transmitters of safety-insulated construction
using DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED INSULATION and without provision for protective earthing. This type of equipment is designated
CLASS II EQUIPMENT and is usually marked with a symbol as shown in 3.2.2 b).
This International Standard does not apply to battery powered transmitters or to radio
base stations and fixed terminal stations for wireless telecommunication, as this
equipment is covered by other standards.
