Specifies voltage presence indicating systems (VIPS) incorporated in a.c. switchgear and controlgear. These voltage presence indicating systems are used to provide information to operators about the voltage condition of the main circuit of the switchgear in which they are installed.

Is applicable to voltage presence indicating systems (VPIS) incorporated in a.c. switchgear and controlgear coverred by IEC 60298 or IEC 60466. Is also applicable to phase comparators specifically designed for use with VPIS.
