Overview
The standards of the DIN EN 60728 (VDE 0855) standard series deal with cable networks including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headed reception, processing and distribution of television signals, sound signals and their associated data signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services using all applicable transmission media. This part deals with the safety requirements applicable to fixed sited systems and equipment. As far as applicable, this standard is also valid for mobile and temporarily installed systems, for example, in caravans. This standard deals specifically with the safety of the system, personnel working on it, subscribers and subscriber equipment. The following amendments have been made with respect to DIN EN 60728-11 (VDE 0855-1):2005-10, amongst others: The list "Deviations in other countries" has been moved from the foreword to informative Annex D. - A few new terms and definitions have been added. - All illustrations have been revised. Details on equipotential bonding and earthing have been supplemented.
