Ta mednarodni standard velja za kabelske kolute samo za izmenični tok, opremljene z neločljivim gibljivim kablom z nazivno napetostjo nad 50 V in ne večjo od 250 V za enofazne kabelske kolute in nad 50 V in ne več kot 440 V za vse druge kabelske kolute ter naznačenim tokom, ki ne presega 16 A. Namenjene so za gospodinjske, komercialne in lahke industrijske ter podobne namene bodisi v zaprtih prostorih bodisi na prostem s posebnim poudarkom na varnosti pri običajni uporabi.
V obravnavi so naprave za navijanje kablov, ki so vgrajene v aparate. Kabelski koluti, ki so skladni s tem standardom, so primerni za uporabo pri temperaturah okolice, ki običajno ne presegajo 25 °C, vendar občasno dosežejo 35 °C. Na območjih, kjer prevladujejo posebne razmere, je lahko zahtevana posebna konstrukcija.
OPOMBA - Ta standard ne velja za kabelske kolute s snemljivim gibljivim kablom.

FOREWORD
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
1)
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in
the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
