49 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

50 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

51 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

52 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

53 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

54 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

55 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

56 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

57 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

58 agreement between the two organizations.

59 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

60 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

61 interested IEC National Committees.

62 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

63 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

64 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

65 misinterpretation by any end user.

66 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

67 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

68 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

69 the latter.

70 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

71 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

72 services carried out by independent certification bodies.

73 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

74 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

75 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

76 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

77 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

78 Publications.

79 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

80 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

81 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

82 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

83 International Standard IEC 60309-2 has been prepared by subcommittee SC 23H: Plugs,

84 socket-outlets and couplers for industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of

85 IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.

86 This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1999, Amendment

87 1:[2005] and Amendment 2:[2012]. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

88 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

89 edition:
90 a) addition of requirements and test for non-solid pins;
91 b) additional rating IPX9;
92 c) additional marking to indicate neutral terminal and/or earthing terminal.
93 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

261 portable electric incubator: +12, +24.

262 These symbols shall be placed close to the relevant terminals; they shall not be placed on

263 screws, removable washers or other removable parts.

264 For phase inverters these symbols shall conform in one position with the requirements of 7.1.

265 In the other position of the inverting means, the phase marking need not conform.

266 Additional marking to indicate neutral terminal and/or earthing terminal may be used as

267 follows:
268 – letter W and/or white colour for neutral
269 – letter G and/or green colour for earthing

270 The terminals for pilot conductors are not required to be indicated. In the case they are

271 marked it is recommended to use the marking P or PILOT

272 The figures used with the letters may be written as an index. It is recommended that where

273 practicable the symbol be used.

When 125/100 A fixed socket-outlets are mounted on or integrated with enclosures, the whole unit can also be IP44.

287 Deviations from the dimensions specified in the standard sheets may be made, but only if

288 they provide a technical advantage and do not adversely affect the purpose and safety of the

289 accessories complying with the standard sheets, especially with regard to compatibility and

290 non-compatibility.

291 Compliance is checked by means of gauges or by measurement for those dimensions not

292 covered by gauges,

293 – for accessories having rated operating voltages exceeding 50 V according to:

294 • Figures 201 and 202 for socket-outlets;
295 • Figures 203 and 204 for plugs and appliance inlets;

296 – for accessories having rated operating voltages not exceeding 50 V according to:

297 • Figures 205 and 206 for 16/20 A and 32/30 A accessories.

298 The gauges shall be moved axially to the centre line of the accessory with a force as shown in

299 the Table 202, applied for 1 min.
