Modification:

This part of IEC 60519 specifies particular safety requirements for electroslag remelting equipment and installations.

This document specifies safety requirements applicable to mainly electroheating installations for remelting and, in some cases, for refining processes of metals through direct resistance heating of a conductive slag.

The object of this document is to specify the particular requirements for the safety of persons in or around an electroslag remelting furnace. The general requirements are included in IEC 60519‑1.
