| Title | Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification - Identification of conductors by colours or alphanumerics |
| Project Number | 20590 |
| Abstract/Scope | Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with the principles given in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. Provides general rules for the use of certain colours or numerals to identify conductors with the aim of avoiding ambiguity and ensuring safe operation. These conductors ma be applied in cables or cores, busbars, electrical equipment and installations. This edition has significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. This includes addition of subclauses 5.3.4 to 5.3.6 - Use of bi-colour combinations, addition of subclause 6.2 - Identification of certain designated conductors, and addition of a new Annex A (informative) 'Identification of certain designated conductors by means of colour code and alphanumeric'. |

(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
