Description

In 2015, IEC TC 13 developed a new standard for electrical safety of electricity meters and load control equipment: IEC 62052-31: 2015. This standard became part of the 62052 /62053 series, which is applied worldwide to design electricity meters. This training provides insight into the why and how of the new safety standard and its impact on meter manufacturers.
