Part 6 (IEC 60364‑6) establishes requirements for the of an electrical installation. The intent of this verification is to determine, as far as reasonably practicable, whether the requirements of the other parts of IEC 60364 have been met. This includes both initial verification (inspection and testing upon completion of a new installation or an addition/alteration) and periodic verification (ongoing inspections throughout the lifetime of the installation). Part 6 also sets out requirements for verification reporting.

Protection against overcurrent (overloads and short circuits).
Part 6 lays out rules for mandatory field testing. It covers both initial verification (visual inspections and continuity/insulation tests before commissioning) and periodic verification to ensure structural integrity over time. Part 7: Requirements for Special Installations or Locations Part 6 (IEC 60364‑6) establishes requirements for the
The primary purpose of IEC 60364 is to ensure that electrical installations function correctly and to safeguard persons, livestock, and property against dangers that can arise from the intended use of these installations. The rules cover the design, erection, and verification of electrical installations, providing for safety against electric shock, thermal effects, overcurrent, and other hazards.

This is arguably the most vital section of the standard for field engineers, focusing directly on hazard prevention:
Residential buildings, commercial properties, industrial facilities, agricultural premises, medical locations, and construction sites.
Deals with higher-risk environments that require stricter parameters: Locations containing a bath or shower. Part 702: Swimming pools and fountains. Part 710: Medical locations. Part 722: Supplies for electric vehicles (EV charging). 3. Core Earthing Systems (TN, TT, IT)
