Note 4: Requirements for high voltage equipment are under consideration by IEC/TC 44 and IEC/TC 99.

Additional and special requirements can apply to the electrical equipment of hoisting
machines that are used in potentially explosive and/or flammable atmospheres.
For the purposes of this standard, hoisting machines include cranes of all types, winches
of all types, and storage and retrieval machines. The following product groups are included:
- Overhead travelling cranes;
- Mobile cranes;
- Tower cranes;
- Slewing luffing cranes;

3.23
Enclosure
A part providing protection of equipment against certain external influences and, in any
direction, protection against direct contact. [IEV 826-03-12]

a) Enclosures provide protection of persons or livestock against access to hazardous parts;
b) Barriers, shaped openings, or any other means suitable to prevent or limit the penetration of the specified test probes,
whether attached to the enclosure or formed by the enclosed equipment, are considered as part of the enclosure, except where
they can be removed without the use of a key or tool.

potential, generally the earth potential. [IEV 826-03-03]
3.28
Failure
The termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function.
Note 1: After failure the item has a fault.
Note 2: "Failure" is an event, as distinguished from "fault", which is a state.
Note 3: This concept as defined does not apply to items consisting of software only.
Note 4: In practice the terms fault and failure are often used synonymously.

3.29
Fault
The state of an item characterized by inability to perform a required function, excluding
the inability during preventive maintenance or other planned actions, or due to lack of
