Plugs and socket-outlets for domestic and similar general use standardized in member countries of IEC

The object of this technical report is to give general information  about the systems of plugs and socket-outlets for household and     similar purposes which are used in the IEC countries. The report    only contains National Systems which are commonly used in homes and offices. It is therefore limited to systems for a.c. with a rated   voltage above 50 V but not exceeding 440 V, intended for household  and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors. The report only   contains systems for which standard sheets have been published in a National Standard, which may be a National Standard of the country  itself or any other IEC member country                             [

PLUGS AND SOCKET-OUTLETS FOR DOMESTIC AND SIMILAR GENERAL
USE STANDARDIZED IN MEMBER COUNTRIES OF IEC

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC 60083, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 23B: Plugs,
socket -outlets and switches, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
The fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2004 and constitutes a
technical revision. It includes some replacements of the sheets concerning the following
countries: DK, FI, FR, DE, IT, JP, NO, SK, ES and SE. New sheets for MX and CS have been
added to those of the previous edition.

The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
23B/807/DTR 23B/817/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This technical report shows the great variety of systems in use today. In order to reduce this
variety in future, even though such a change may take many years, it is advised that the
recommendations in IEC 60906-1 and IEC 60906-2 be followed:
"that any country in need of a new or a replacement system adopt this standard as its future
National Standard".
The content of this report is based on the information submitted by the National Committees
of IEC which are responsible for the accuracy of the information given. Any revision caused
by amendments and additions as a consequence of further development of their National
System(s) or introduction of a different system should be notified to the IEC Central Office.
For additional contributions or revisions of already submitted information, reference is made
to Annex A which contains the instructions for submitting material to this technical report.
National Committees are asked to follow the instructions precisely in order to obtain a uniform
presentation in this report.
The IEC Central Office will maintain a register of the revised information received from
National Committees.
This fifth edition includes the following modifications to the previous edition:
Denmark replacement of all sheets
Finland replacement of sheet No. 4
France replacement of all sheets
Germany addition of new sheet No. 3
Italy replacement of sheet No. 7
Japan replacement of all sheets
Mexico new sheets (1 to 11)
Norway replacement of all sheets
Serbia and Montenegro new sheets (1 to 3)
Slovakia replacement of sheet No. 3
Spain replacement of all sheets
Sweden replacement of sheet No. 4 and 5 by a new sheet No. 4

PLUGS AND SOCKET-OUTLETS FOR DOMESTIC AND SIMILAR GENERAL
USE STANDARDIZED IN MEMBER COUNTRIES OF IEC

1 Scope and object
The object of this technical report is to give general information about the systems of plugs
and socket -outlets for household and similar purposes which are used in the IEC countries.
The report only contains National Systems which are commonly used in homes and offices. It
is therefore limited to systems for a.c. with a rated voltage above 50 V but not exceeding
440 V, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.
The report only contains systems for which standard sheets have been published in a
National Standard, which may be a National Standard of the country itself or any other IEC
member country.

Portable socket-outlets for cords are specified in AS/NZS 3120. AS/NZS 3112 provides for a two pin
10A plug which has the same shape as the three pin 10A plug but no earth pin. A 10A plug is
compatible with a 15A socket-outlet. A 15A plug is prevented from entering a 10A socket-outlet by the
size of the earth pin.
