The IEC 60364-1:2005 standard provides rules for the design, erection, and verification of electrical installations. The main objective of this standard is to ensure the safety of people, livestock, and property, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of electrical installations during normal use.

This standard applies to various types of electrical installations, including residential, commercial, public, industrial, agricultural, and horticultural premises, as well as temporary installations such as construction sites and exhibitions. It also covers specific installations like marinas, medical locations, and photovoltaic systems, as well as low-voltage generating sets.

IEC 60364-1 encompasses circuits supplied at nominal voltages up to and including 1,000 V AC or 1,500 V DC. It also includes circuits operating at voltages exceeding 1,000 V but derived from an installation with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V AC, such as discharge lighting or electrostatic precipitators. The standard covers wiring systems and cables not specifically covered by appliance standards, external consumer installations, fixed wiring for information and communication technology, and the extension or alteration of existing installations.
