BS EN 60974-6:2016 specifies safety and performance requirements applicable to limited
duty arc welding and cutting power sources and auxiliaries designed for use by laymen.
Electrically powered equipment is intended to be connected to the single phase public lowvoltage
supply system. Engine driven power sources cannot exceed output power of 7,5 kVA.NOTE 1 This equipment is typically used by non-professionals in residential areas.This part of IEC 60974 is not applicable to arc welding and cutting power sources that require
for operation:arc striking and stabilizing devices;liquid cooling systems;gas consoles;three-phase input supply;and which are intended for industrial and professional use only.This part of IEC 60974 is not applicable to arc welding and cutting power sources and
ancillary equipment used in:mechanically guided applications;submerged arc welding process;plasma gouging process;plasma welding process;that are covered by other parts of IEC 60974.NOTE 2 Power sources, wire feeders, torches and electrode holders designed for industrial and professional use
are respectively covered by IEC 60974-1, IEC 60974-5, IEC 60974-7 and IEC 60974-11.NOTE 3 This part of IEC 60974 does not specify electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements that are given
in IEC 60974-10.Cross References:IEC 60529IEC 60974-1:2012IEC 60974-5:2013IEC 60974-7:2013IEC 60974-10IEC 60974-11IEC 61032:1997ISO 2503EN 60529EN 60974-1:2012EN 60974-5:2013EN 60974-7:2013EN 60974-10EN 60974-11EN 61032:1998EN ISO 2503IEC 60050IEC 60085IEC 60127-1IEC 60269-1IEC 60417IEC 60974IEC 61558-1:2005ISO 7000ISO 17846EN 60085EN 60127-1EN 60269-1EN 60974EN 61558-1:2005All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
