Frequently asked questions

What is IEC 60364?

IEC 60364 is the international standard series for low-voltage electrical installations — protection against electric shock, overcurrent protection, cable sizing and installation methods. ElectroBoard uses it as the design basis for consumer units and distribution boards.

Are these summaries the official IEC standard?

No. These are plain-language summaries authored by ElectroBoard to help with day-to-day design. They do not replace the normative text — the official standards are published by the IEC and available at webstore.iec.ch.

How does ElectroBoard apply IEC standards?

The board designer validates your layout against IEC rules — selectivity, protective-device ratings, RCD requirements and prospective fault current — and the AI consultant answers questions with references to the relevant IEC clauses.

Where can I get the full official standard?

The complete, legally binding text of each IEC standard is available from the IEC webstore at webstore.iec.ch. ElectroBoard links to the official publication for every standard listed here.
