The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements to ensure safety for the ordinary person who comes into contact with uninterruptible power systems (UPS) and, where specifically stated, for the skilled person.

This Standard applies to movable, stationary, fixed or built-in UPS for use in low voltage distribution systems and that are intended to be installed in an area accessible by an ordinary person or in a restricted access area as applicable, that deliver fixed frequency AC output voltage with port voltages not exceeding 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC and that include an energy storage device.

This Standard applies to pluggable and to permanently connected UPS, whether consisting of a system of interconnected units or of independent units, subject to installing, operating and maintaining the UPS in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer.

This Standard does not cover:

(a) UPS that have a DC output;

(b) systems for operation on moving platforms including, but not limited to, aircrafts, ships and motor vehicles;

(c) external AC or DC input and output distribution boards covered by their specific product standard;

(d) stand-alone static transfer systems (STS) covered by IEC 62310-1;

(e) systems wherein the output voltage is directly derived from a rotating machine;

(f) telecommunications apparatus other than UPS for such apparatus; and

(g) functional safety aspects covered by IEC 61508 (all parts).
