60364familjen

60364familjen, or the 60364 family, refers to the Swedish term for the international IEC 60364 standard series governing electrical installations in buildings and similar structures. The standards establish safety requirements for the design, selection, erection, verification and operation of low-voltage electrical installations to reduce risks such as electric shock, fires and equipment failures.

The 60364 family consists of multiple parts, each addressing a specific aspect of electrical installations. Typical topics include general requirements for design and documentation, protection against electric shock, selection and erection of electrical equipment, wiring methods, earthing and protective conductors, protection against overcurrent, and procedures for verification and testing. The series also includes parts dealing with specialized installations and environmental conditions.

In Sweden, the 60364 family is published and maintained through the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) and is widely used as a reference in building regulations, electrical safety practices, and contractor requirements. National deviations or supplementary rules may apply, but the core safety principles are aligned with the international IEC 60364 standard.

The standard is regularly updated to reflect new technology and safety practices, and professional electrical installers, designers, and inspectors typically rely on it for compliant design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of electrical systems. See also IEC 60364 for the international framework.
