Guiding principles for installation and operation of electrical equipment to ensure safety of persons, livestock, property and the proper functioning of the plant.

This Part of BS 6907 gives recommendations for the safe and efficient installation of winning, stacking and primary and secondary processing machinery, pumps and low signal level and communication systems.

It both supplements and gives specific exemptions to the recommendations given in BS 6907-2 and BS 6907-3 and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with those Parts.

NOTE 1 A glossary of terms used in this standard is given in BS 6907-1.
