IEC EN 63044-3 Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) - Part 3: Electrical Safety Requirements

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 63044-3 testing. IEC EN 63044-3 provides electrical safety requirements for HBES/BACS networking in addition to product safety standards for HBES/BACS devices. It also applies to devices used within an HBES/BACS network for which there is no specific HBES/BACS product safety standard. It also defines the security requirements for the interface of equipment intended to be connected to an HBES/BACS network.

This standard covers the following requirements and compliance criteria:

• Protection against hazards in the device;
• Protection against overvoltages in the network;
• Protection from touch current;
• Protection against hazards caused by different types of circuits;
• Protection of communication cables against overheating caused by excessive current.

This standard is based on the philosophy that a device considered electrically safe according to an appropriate product safety standard must remain secure when connected to a network. In addition to the specific product standard, this standard specifies the electrical safety requirements necessary for a HBES/BACS device connected to a network to remain safe under normal and single fault conditions as well as under normal conditions of the HBES/BACS network.

This includes protection against overvoltages in the network, protection against dangers from connecting different types of circuits, limiting current touching a network, and protecting communication cables from overheating.
