IEC 60974-5:2019 specifies safety and performance requirements for industrial and professional equipment used in arc welding and allied processes to feed filler wire.
This document is applicable to wire feeders and to wire-feed controls that are stand-alone (separate from the welding equipment), housed together in a single enclosure or housed in a single enclosure with other welding equipment. The wire feeder can be suitable for manually or mechanically guided torches.
