The fundamental rule of protection against electric shock is provided by the document IEC 61140 which covers both electrical installations and electrical equipment.
 
Hazardous-live-parts shall not be accessible and accessible conductive parts shall not be hazardous.
 
This requirement needs to apply under:
* Normal conditions, and
* Under a single fault condition
 
Various measures are adopted to protect against this hazard, and include:
* Automatic disconnection of the power supply to the connected electrical equipment
* Special arrangements such as:
** The use of class II insulation materials, or an equivalent level of insulation
** Non-conducting location, out of arm’s reach or interposition of barriers
** Equipotential bonding
** Electrical separation by means of isolating transformers
