Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are beyond the scope of this standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, the information provided in this standard can assist in meeting these standards and regulations.

The importance of cabling infrastructure is similar to the importance of other basic services such as water and energy supply, and interruptions in services provided through this infrastructure can have serious effects. Lack of design foresight, use of unsuitable components, incorrect installation, poor management or inadequate support can threaten service quality and have business consequences for any user.

Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are beyond the scope of this standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, the information provided in this standard can assist in meeting these standards and regulations.
