IEC TS 61641:2026 identifies methods used to verify the ability of the assembly:
– to limit the risk of injury to personnel during an internal arc-fault;
– to limit the damage to an acceptable level as a result of an internal arc-fault;
– to improve the power availability following an internal arc-fault.
This document takes into consideration:
– the effects of the internal overpressure acting on covers, doors, etc.;
– the thermal effects of the internal arc-fault or its roots on the enclosures and of ejected hot gases and glowing particles.
– the correct function of the IAMS within the assembly;
– the prevention of unintended operation of the IAMS within the assembly, for example caused by switching arcs;
– the functioning behaviour of the IAMS immediately after the assembly is energized.
This document describes different methods to assess the performance of an assembly or zones of an assembly in respect of arcing in air due to an internal failure:
– with "passive" arc-fault protection (provided by mechanical construction, e.g. suitable door locks, hinges, pressure relief devices, barriers);
NOTE 1 This approach corresponds to the method according to IEC TR 61641:2014.
– with "active" arc-fault protection (with the integration of IAMS);
NOTE 2 This approach corresponds to the method according to IEC TS 63107:2020.
– with the use of an arc ignition protected zone (to make the ignition of an arc-fault an extremely remote possibility).
NOTE 3 This approach corresponds to the method according to IEC TR 61641:2014.
IAMS consist of internal arc-fault control devices (IACD), e.g. optical-based IACD's in accordance with IEC 60947-9-2 and internal arc-fault reduction devices (IARD), e.g. arc quenching devices (AQDs) in accordance with IEC 60947-9-1 and short-circuit protection devices SCPD's in accordance with IEC 60947-2 (see Figure EE.1). IAMS can be provided by a combined-type device according to IEC 60947-9-2.
IEC 60364-4-42:2024 (Clause 427) provides guidance on the need for internal arc-fault protection.
This document does not supersede any individual product standard. Individual devices are required to comply with their relevant standard.
This document does not apply to integration of arc fault detection devices (AFDD) according to IEC 62606.
Informative Annex AA gives guidance for the user (see IEC 61439-1:2020, 3.11) on internal arc-fault mitigation.
Informative Annex BB gives guidance for the user (see IEC 61439-1:2020, 3.11) of assemblies with "active" arc-fault protection (with the integration of IAMS).
Informative Annex CC gives guidance for the original manufacturer of an assembly when incorporating an integrated IAMS.
This document does not consider other effects which can constitute a risk, such as emission of toxic gases, loud noises and/or intense light. Furthermore, this document does not consider conditions during maintenance work and the personal protective equipment used.
This edition cancels and replaces IEC TR 61641:2014 and IEC TS 63107:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Introduction of the term "arcing class zone", using the term "arcing classes" from the previous document IEC TR 61641:2014.
b) Structured using of the terms "zone" and "area". "Area" is used to describe the place of installation and the accessibility of the assembly (macro-environment). "Zone" is used in this document to describe a defined space within the assembly (micro-environment).
c) Assembly protection is classified into two levels.

IEC 60947-5-3:2026 provides additional requirements to those given in IEC 60947-5-2 and IEC 60947-5-1:2024, Annex D (reed contact magnetic switches). It addresses the fault performance aspects of proximity devices with a defined behaviour under fault conditions (PDDB). It does not address any other characteristics that can be required for specific applications.
This document does not apply to protective equipment to directly detect the presence of persons, that are covered by the IEC 61496 series or IEC TS 62998 series.
NOTE 1 A PDDB device can be used to detect indirectly the presence of a person, for example by detecting the position of a platform on which the operator stands (example, garbage trucks).
This document does not specify requirements for the analogue output of PDDB, if any.
This document does not deal with any specific requirements on acoustic noise as the noise emission of proximity devices is not considered to be a relevant hazard.
A PDDB product is intended to be used as sensing subsystem of a safety related control system according to IEC 62061 or ISO 13849-1. Depending on construction principles and complexity, this document is based on product development of the IEC 61508 series to meet the product specific requirements of one or more of the following:
– IEC 61508 series;
– IEC 62061;
– ISO 13849 series.
NOTE 2 The Functional safety device type classification regarding functional safety correlates with IEC 62683-2-3.
This document includes requirements for PDDB when designed for use as part of an interlocking device according to ISO 14119.
This document does not consider aspects of:
– software updates and self-evolving behaviour;
– explosive atmospheres.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This third edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Update of the scope, refined fault performance aspects and relation to standards of functional safety.
b) The ‘safe state’ is generally determined as ‘OFF-state’ (see 3.1.8).
c) Update of EMC requirements in 8.2.6 with references to IEC 60947-5-2:2019 for acceptance criteria A, B and C and requirements of Table 17 for acceptance criterion DS.
d) Interface types for binary interfaces are introduced (see 4.6.2 and Annex B).
e) Functional safety device types according to ISO 13849-1:2023 Annex O (see 4.9).
f) Interlocking device type and coding level according to ISO 14119 are adapted (see 4.10 and 4.11).
g) The operating modes target present (4.12.2) and target absent (4.12.3) are introduced.
h) The ‘switching distance’ replaces the terms ‘release’ and ‘operating’. The behaviour of the PDDB is described according to the operating mode (4.12).
i) The context and verification of the switching distances are considered according to ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008 (GUM) and IEC TR 63649 (see 8.2.1.3 and 9.4.2).
j) Requirements for electrical equipment class III are refined.
k) The risk time is replaced with the safety response time (3.1.11).
l) Annex A gives a new example of safety related control system.
m) The test sequences (see 9.3.1) are updated for the specific behaviour of a PDDB.
