TS IEC 60050-826
International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 826: Electrical installations
IEC 60050-826:2022 gives the general terminology used for electrical installations such as those of residential, industrial or commercial premises. It does not cover systems for distribution of energy to the public or power generation and transmission for such systems. This new edition reviews and complements the previous one. An important aim of the revision is to achieve compliance with IEC 61140:2016. In addition, some new terms have been added from IEC 60364-8-1:2014 and IEC 60364-8-2:2018. It has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
This terminology is consistent with the terminology developed in the other specialized parts of the IEV.
This horizontal publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of IEC publications in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal publications in the preparation of its publications.

About This Item
TS IEC 60050-826 is the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary part devoted to the general terminology of electrical installations. It provides a common technical language for installation concepts used in buildings and premises, helping engineers, specifiers and drafters use terms consistently across design documents, product information and IEC publications.
What this vocabulary part covers
The scope is the general terminology used for electrical installations in residential, industrial and commercial premises. The 2022 edition reviews and complements the earlier version, with revision work aimed at alignment with IEC 61140:2016. It also introduces some new terms drawn from IEC 60364-8-1:2014 and IEC 60364-8-2:2018. In practical terms, this makes the document a terminology reference that supports a coherent vocabulary across related electrical installation standards.
How it is used in practice
In electrical installation engineering, terms such as protection, isolation, earthing, circuit and equipment may sound familiar but carry distinct technical meanings. A vocabulary standard like this one helps keep those distinctions stable and reduces ambiguity when different IEC documents refer to the same concepts. It is also identified as a horizontal publication under IEC Guide 108, meaning it is primarily intended to support technical committees in preparing IEC publications with consistent terminology.
