DIN VDE 0113-1

Safety of industrial machinery according to standard

The DIN VDE 0113-1 (identical to EN 60204-1) is the most important standard when it comes to electrical safety of machinery goes.
It specifies the requirements for the design, testing and maintenance of electrical equipment in machines – particularly in industry, production and trade.

What does DIN VDE 0113-1 regulate?

This standard applies to all machines with electrical drive or control and defines:
Requirements for control cabinets & wiring
Protective measures against electric shock
Safety functions (e.g. emergency stop, protective doors)
Marking & documentation of electrical components
Testing before commissioning (e.g. insulation measurement, protective conductor test)

Where is the standard applied?

Production machines (CNC, milling, pressing)
Packaging & filling systems
Conveyor systems & robotics
Workshop machines in the craft industry
Control systems & industrial automation
💡 Applies to new machines, but also after conversion, extension or repair.

Typical tests according to DIN VDE 0113-1

Protective conductor test
Insulation resistance measurement
Testing the emergency stop function
Functional testing of contactors, relays & sensors
Loop impedance and tripping time measurement for RCDs
