The purpose of the 60079 range of standards is to ensure the safety of persons who work with electrical and electronic equipment, as well as equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres, by providing safety criteria for both design and manufacture. This is achieved by outlining the various requirements for design, tests and inspections to ensure the equipment is safe for personnel to operate.

The 60079 range of standards is broken down into three different categories which cover general principles, electrical equipment, and marking and testing requirements. Within each category are multiple parts, so that the standards can apply to a wide range of equipment and environments.

The most common of these categories is 60079-0, General Requirements. Here the necessary safety requirements are outlined, which apply to all types of equipment. These requirements dictate the level of insulation for the equipment, starting voltage, overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, and electromagnetic compatibility. All of these ensure that when personnel come into contact with the equipment, they are not exposed to hazardous levels of electrical current, and that the equipment is unlikely to cause an overcurrent on other equipment.

The second category is the 60079-1 Electrical Equipment. Here, specific safety requirements are outlined for the equipment itself, such as the materials used for insulation and installation requirements. The objective is to ensure that the equipment is able to be installed and operated safely, even in potentially hazardous environments such as chemical facilities or high altitude environments.

The third category, 60079-2 Marking and Testing Requirements, outlines the necessary portable and fixed tests which must be carried out on electrical equipment before the equipment is certified as safe to use. For example, the types of tests which may be carried out on a product can include; insulation resistance, withstand voltage test, high temperature test and vibration test.

To summarize, the 60079 range of standards was created to ensure that personnel working with electrical equipment are safeguarded from potential dangers or hazards. By outlining the necessary requirements for design, tests and inspections, these standards ensure that the equipment is safe to use and that personnel working with the equipment are protected.
