The requirements apply to industrial installations, intended for electroheating and electroheat based treatment technologies, with the possible use of the following equipment:

– equipment for direct and indirect resistance heating;

– equipment for electric resistance trace heating;

– equipment for induction heating;

– equipment using the effect of EM forces on liquid metals;

– equipment for arc heating, including submerged arc heating;

– equipment for electroslag remelting;

– equipment for plasma heating;

– equipment for microwave heating;

– equipment for dielectric heating;

– equipment for electron beam heating;

– equipment for laser heating;

– equipment for infrared radiation heating.
