AS/NZS 60479.1:2010 PDF Download

AS/NZS 60479.1:2010 is a standard that focuses on the general aspects of the effects of electrical currents on human beings and livestock. It provides basic guidance for establishing electrical safety requirements in order to mitigate the potential harm caused by electric shocks. The standard aims to ensure the safety of individuals and animals in various electrical environments.

The standard covers a wide range of topics related to the effects of electrical currents, including the physiological responses of the human body and livestock to electric shock, the thresholds for perception and pain, and the potential risks associated with different types of electrical currents. It also provides information on the factors that can influence the severity of electric shock, such as the duration and frequency of the current.

By outlining these general aspects, AS/NZS 60479.1:2010 serves as a foundation for developing more specific electrical safety requirements in various settings, such as homes, workplaces, and agricultural environments. It helps ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect individuals and livestock from the potentially harmful effects of electrical currents.
