13 Fundamental principles
NOTE 1 Where countries not yet having national regulations for electrical installations deem it necessary to establish legal requirements for this purpose, it is recommended that such requirements be limited to fundamental principles which are not subject to frequent modification on account of technical development. The contents of Clause 13 may be used as a basis for such legislation.
NOTE 2 This clause contains basic requirements. In other parts of this standard (see Table A.2), more detailed requirements may be given.
131 Protection for safety
131.1 General
The requirements stated in 131.2 to 131.7 are intended to provide for the safety of persons,livestock and property against dangers and damage which may arise in the reasonable use of electrical installations. The requirements to provide for the safety of livestock are applicable in locations intended for them.
131.2.2 Fault protection (protection against indirect contact)
NOTE For low-voltage installations, systems and equipment, fault protection generally corresponds to protection against indirect contact, mainly with regard to failure of basic insulation.
Protection shall be provided against dangers that may arise from contact with exposed-conductive-parts of the installation by persons or livestock.IEC 60364-1 pdf download.
