Nick:  Here's what I've got on it...

1. Scope = "electronic equipment with control action on systems and
processes such as generation, distribution, conversion and control of
electrical energy". 

2. It was apparently published in the OJ under the LVD.

3. It is mainly based on EN60664 (whatever that is).

Hope this helps,

Subject: EN50178 question



BSI's on-line and printed catalogues give the following information 
about the above standard:

BS EN 50178:1998 Electronic equipment for use in power installations

That's all it says, except a list of cross references as long as both 
your arms. Before I waste GBP56 of my hard earned cash on buying a 
copy just to see if it has any relevance to one of my client's 
projects, can someone give me a good idea of what this standard is 
really all about?

Thanks for any help.

Nick.
