Rationale

In pre arin this part of IEC 6 9 0, it has b en as umed that:

– exterior to the OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT there s ould b no hazard , ju t as is the case with

other information tec nolog eq ipment;

– protection again t van al sm an other purp sef ul acts wi b tre ted as a prod ct q al ty

is ue (f or example, IEC 6 9 0 s ould not contain req irements f or the sec rity of loc s,

typ s of ac e table s rew he d, forced entry tests, etc.)

E.2 Electric shoc

It is b l eved that most asp cts relatin to protection again t the ris of electric s oc are

adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1:2 0 in lu in c r ent pro osals, an in some cases,

q oted saf ety stan ard (in p rtic lar, the IEC 6 3 4 series), an with the ex e tion of the

f ol owin , do not req ire modif i ation Sp cific req irements not alre d s ita ly ad res ed in

IEC 6 9 0-1 were con idered as fol ows:

– cle rin of e rth f aults for remotely located (exp sed) information tec nolog eq ipment;

– the degre of protection provided by the en los re to rain, d st, etc

– the ef fect of moisture an p l ution degre on the in ulation of the en losed p rts;

– the p s ible con eq en es of in res by plants an animals (sin e these could brid e or

damage in ulation);

– the maximum p rmis ible tou h voltage an b dy contact imp dan e for wet con ition

It is noted that the voltage l mits of US R-ac es ible circ its and p rts in OUTDOOR LOC TIONS

only are a pl ca le to circ its an p rts that are actual y “US R-ac es ible” If the circ its an

p rts are not US R ac es ible (determined via a pl cation of ac es ibi ty pro es) an are

en losed in ELECTRIC LEN LOSURE , con ectors an ca le s ita le f or the outdo r a pl cation,

in lu in b in s bject to al relevant OUTDOOR EN LOSURE testin , voltage l mits for in o r

location may b ac e ta le b sed on the a pl cation F r example, a Power over Ethernet

(PoE) s rvei an e camera mou ted outdo rs s p l ed by 4 V d.c f rom PoE would b in

compl an e with Clau e 6 if the ELECTRIC L ENCLOSURE met the a plca le req irements for

OUTDOOR EN LOSURE

E.3 Energy relate hazards

It is b l eved that most asp cts relatin to protection again t energ hazard for h man are

adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1 However, the level of avaia le f ault c r ent at the p int

of main s p ly to the eq ipment can b sig ificantly hig er an hen e the ratin of

comp nents would ne d to take this into ac ou t (u der atin of comp nents in this are can

also res lt in a fire hazard)

E.4 Fire

It is b l eved that most asp cts relatin to protection again t f ire emanatin f rom within the

eq ipment are adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1 However, certain me s res that may b

ac e ta le for eq ipment located in ide a bui din would not b ac e ta le outdo rs b cau e

they would p rmit the entry of ain, etc

For certain typ s of OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT it could b a pro riate to al ow the ‘no b t om FIRE

EN LOSURE req ired if mou ted on a con rete b se’ exemption that presently can b u ed for

eq ipment f or u e within a RE TRICT D A CE S LOCATION

E.5 Me ha ical hazards

It is b l eved that al asp cts relatin to protection again t mec anical hazard emanatin

f rom the eq ipment are adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1

E.6 Heat related hazards

It is b l eved that most asp cts relatin to protection again t direct he t hazard are

adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1 However, it may b a pro riate to p rmit hig er lmits for

eq ipment that is u l kely to b tou hed by p s ers by (f or example, eq ipment that is only

inten ed to b p le mou ted out of re c )

A default nominal ambient temp rature ran e for OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT has b en pro osed

The eff ects of solar he tin have not b en ad res ed

In ad ition to direct thermal hazard , there is a ne d to con ider con eq ential hazard For

in tan e, some plastic b come britle as they b come cold An EN LOSURE made f om s c

britle plastic could exp se u ers to other hazard (f or example, electrical or mec anical) if it

were to bre k

E.7 Radiation

It is b leved that most asp cts relatin to direct protection again t radiation hazard are

adeq ately covered by IEC 6 9 0-1 However, there may b con eq ential hazard to

con ider

Ju t as p lymeric materials can b af fected by low temp ratures, they can also b come

embritled d e to the eff ect of UV radiation An EN LOSURE made f rom s c britle plastic

could exp se US RS to other hazard (for example, electrical or mec anical) if it were to bre k

It is b leved that certain typ s of OUTDO R EQUIPMENT ne d to have me s res relatin to

c emical hazard originatin within, or external to, the eq ipment

Exp s re to c emicals in the en ironment (f or example, salt u ed to cle r ro d in the winter)

can also cau e pro lems

E.9 Biological hazards

These are not presently ad res ed in IEC 6 9 0-1

As with radiation hazard an c emical hazard , it is thou ht that there is not l kely to b an

direct biological hazard However, plastic an some metals can b atac ed by fu gi or

b cteria an this could res lt in we kenin of protective EN LOSURE As stated u der 'electric

s oc ', the in res of plants an animals could res lt in damage to in ulation

E.10 Explosion hazards

OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT may ne d to b we ther tig t, in s c cases there is an in re sed

pro a i ty that an explosive atmosphere can bui d up as a res lt o

– h drogen b in prod ced as a res lt of c argin le d-acid b t eries within the eq ipment

an ;

– methane an other ‘d ct gas es’ enterin the eq ipment f rom the outdo rs
