Full title and description

GOST IEC 60519-2-2016 — "Safety in electroheat installations. Part 2. Particular requirements for resistance heating equipment". This interstate (GOST) adoption reproduces the IEC technical requirements for the safety of resistance heating equipment and furnaces (both direct and indirect types).

Abstract

This standard sets particular safety requirements for resistance heating equipment used in industrial electroheat installations, including indirect resistance heaters, radiant tubes, immersion heaters and certain direct resistance heating arrangements. The GOST edition is identical to the corresponding IEC publication and is intended to be used together with the general requirements of Part 1 of IEC/EN 60519.

General information

• Status: Adopted / active as a national/interstate standard (introduced into effect in the Russian system).
• Publication date: Designation year 2016 (GOST IEC 60519-2-2016); introduced into force as a national standard on 1 September 2017.
• Publisher: Adopted and issued in the interstate/GOST system via the Federal Agency for Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) and the Interstate Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification.
• ICS / categories: 25.180.10 — Electric furnaces / electroheat installations.
• Edition / version: GOST IEC 60519-2-2016 (identical/adopted text of IEC 60519-2 — third edition/2006 technical content).
• Number of pages: Typically published as 18 pages in the GOST release (source listings show 18 pages; some distributors list minor variations in delivered formats).

For adoption and entry-into-force details, and confirmation of identity with IEC 60519-2, see the official GOST adoption record and standard listings.

Scope

The standard applies to both indirect and specified direct resistance heating equipment operating on d.c. or single/multi-phase a.c. up to typical mains frequencies (up to 60 Hz where referenced), and standardizes safety requirements for design, isolation and switching, connection to supply, protection against electric shock, leakage current limits, hazards from process vapours/precipitates, special requirements for salt-bath and vacuum furnaces, and associated auxiliary equipment. It is intended to be used alongside Part 1 (general requirements) of the IEC/EN 60519 series.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of electroheat equipment by voltage and frequency bands.
• General safety requirements for resistance heating elements (metallic and non-metallic), radiant tubes and immersion heaters.
• Requirements for insulation, protective earthing and equipotential bonding.
• Isolation, switching and internal connection rules (including switching of control and auxiliary circuits).
• Protection against electric shock (direct and indirect contact) and limits for leakage/touch currents.
• Special process-related provisions (vapours, precipitates, salt-bath and melting furnaces, heating-up of solidified contents, vacuum furnaces).
• Requirements for auxiliary equipment, guarding/interlocks, over-temperature protection and safety controls.
• Marking, documentation and verification/testing provisions related to safe commissioning and operation.

These topics follow the IEC/EN table of contents and clause structure for Part 2 (particular requirements).

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers and designers of industrial resistance-heating equipment and furnaces, electrical safety engineers, plant safety managers, testing and certification bodies, and regulatory authorities to ensure equipment complies with recognized safety requirements when installed and operated in industrial electroheat applications.

Related standards

Primary companion: IEC/EN/ national versions of IEC 60519-1 (Part 1 — General requirements). Other related parts of the 60519 series cover special frequency bands or equipment types (for example parts dealing with high-frequency installations, heating foils and heating cables). Users should apply Part 1 together with Part 2 for complete coverage.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST IEC 60519-2-2016 is the interstate (GOST) adoption of IEC 60519-2 covering particular safety requirements for resistance heating equipment used in industrial electroheat installations.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification, design and safety requirements for indirect and certain direct resistance heating equipment (heating conductors, radiant tubes, immersion heaters), including electrical protection, switching/isolation, leakage current, hazards from process materials, and special requirements for salt-bath and vacuum furnaces. It is intended to be used with Part 1 (general requirements).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, designers and installers of industrial resistance-heating equipment, safety and maintenance personnel, testing/certification bodies and regulators responsible for electrical safety of electroheat installations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The GOST adoption is dated 2016 (GOST IEC 60519-2-2016) and was introduced into force in the GOST/R system on 1 September 2017; the underlying IEC document referenced in the GOST text is the IEC 60519-2 edition used at adoption (the IEC 2006 edition is the corresponding technical base). Users should check national and IEC publication records for any later revisions or withdrawals of the base IEC part before relying on it for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the IEC 60519 series (safety in electroheat installations). Part 1 contains general requirements; other numbered parts address additional equipment types or specific conditions (e.g., high-frequency equipment, heating foils/cables). Apply Part 1 together with Part 2 for comprehensive requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?
