This standard applies to cable reels for a.c. only, with a rated voltage above 50 V and not
exceeding 250 V for single-phase cable reels and above 50 V and not exceeding 440 V for all
other cable reels, and a rated current not exceeding 16 A. They are intended for household,
commercial and light industrial and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors, with particular
reference to safety in normal use.
This standard does not apply to

– cable reeling devices associated with appliances or luminaires.
NOTE 1 Requirements for cable reeling devices incorporated in appliances are specified in EN 60335-1 and
EN 60335-2-2.
NOTE 2 Requirements for cable reeling devices incorporated in luminaires are specified in EN 60598-1 and
EN 60598-2-25.
NOTE 3 A cable reeling device associated with an appliance or luminaire is a device designed to supply a specific
appliance or luminaire. It shall be fixed to or delivered with the appliance or luminaire, without being incorporated in it
and having its own enclosure which provides protection against electric shock. An example is a cable reeling device
associated with handlamps according to EN 60598-2-8.
This standard may be used as a guide for cable reeling devices incorporated or associated in
appliances or luminaires as far as it is applicable.
