Electrical Safety in Public Spaces

IEC 60364-7-718 Standard Technical Guide

High population density in shopping malls, theaters, libraries, and event venues makes evacuation difficult. How should emergency signage, fire-resistant cable systems, and electrical insulation be designed and tested?

High Panic Control in Public Areas

The IEC 60364-7-718 standard subjects the electrical infrastructure in shops, foyers, cinemas, and all gathering centers with high population density to strict safety protocols. The AES Innovation team provides expert, accredited inspection services in high-density residential buildings, evaluating not only electric shock but also fire exit scenarios and the survival functionality of evacuation corridors.

In any emergency (e.g., earthquake or fire caused by an electrical seal), the location of the electrical panel, the halogen-free nature of the wiring, and the immediate autonomous activation of emergency lighting systems play a critical role.

Securing Evacuation Routes

What do electrical tests for shopping malls and cinemas include?

  • Emergency Lighting and Directional (Escape) Control:
    The battery life, lux (illumination) intensity, and homogeneous distribution of exit (EXIT) luminaires, which activate with a response time of 1-5 seconds in the event of a power outage, are measured.
  • Cable and Installation Burning Behavior Check:
    In evacuation routes with high human traffic (corridors, stairwells), AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Devices) are used to check that the cables are of the flame-retardant LSZH class.
  • Insulation of Switchboard Rooms (Electrical Shafts):
    It is confirmed that in public areas, switchgear and main panels are accessible only to authorized personnel, and that shaft doors are fire-insulated and equipped with barriers.
  • Fire Alarm and Power Outage Scenarios:
    Scenario-based measurements, such as elevators descending to the emergency floor and shutting down in fire situations, and the correct energization of ventilation and smoke control units, are provided by our laboratory engineer.

AES for the Utmost Security of Your Visitors

A short circuit in a shopping mall can create panic, but injuries are more likely to come from crushing and exposure to toxic gases than from burning flames. According to the IEC 60364-7-718 requirements, which narrow the boundaries of regulations, all your premises should be inspected. Inspections are carried out with the approval of TÜRKAK. And we help you offer your visitors not only architectural beauty, but also a sense of safety.

International Standards and Related Legislation

In addition to an infrastructure equipped according to the TS HD 60364-7-718 standard, emergency safety lighting designs according to IEC 60364-5-56 are checked. Since the provisions of the Regulation on Fire Protection of Buildings directly overlap, the presence of fire protection (300mA) RCD circuit breakers is the primary reference point for ensuring complete accuracy during periodic inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

General plumbing inspection process inquiries for theaters, cinemas, large recreation areas, and shopping mall buildings.

Both solutions are valid according to IEC 60364-5-56, and solutions with independent internal batteries must be able to provide minimum lighting for 1-3 hours, or central systems with UPS support must be operational within seconds.

Kiosks and portable sales stands must have a fully autonomous panel system with a 30mA RCD and should not be supplied with cables through exposed cable ducts or under carpets in the passageway.

An insulation flame that jumps from the electrical shaft to the upper floor will destroy the entire building, consuming oxygen with smoke emissions. Cable entry points in panel ceilings must be insulated with 'Fire Stop' putty and foam materials.

Comprehensive thermal camera inspections should be carried out during operating hours to detect problems under the most demanding loads. However, circuit breaker tripping tests are performed by AES teams during the night shift after the shopping mall closes for the night.
