IEC TR 60083:2009

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

IEC/TR 60083:2009 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. The sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes some replacements of the sheets concerning the following countries: BR, CN, CZ, DK, JP, NO, PT and ES. New sheets for IN and ZA have been added to those of the previous edition.

Prises de courant pour usages domestiques et analogues normalisées par les pays membres de la CEI

La CEI/TR 60083:2009 a pour objet de donner des informations générales sur les systèmes de fiches et de prises pour usage domestique et analogue utilisés par les pays membres de la CEI. Ce rapport ne mentionne que les systèmes nationaux utilisés couramment dans les bureaux et dans les logements. Il est donc limité aux systèmes en courant alternatif de tensions assignées supérieures à 50 V mais ne dépassant pas 440 V, prévus pour des usages domestiques et analogues à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur. Ce rapport ne contient que les systèmes dont les feuilles de normes ont été publiées dans une norme nationale, qui peut être une norme nationale du pays lui-même ou d'un autre pays de la CEI. Cette sixième édition annule et remplace la cinquième édition parue en 2006, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut des remplacements de feuilles concernant les pays suivants: BR, CN, CZ, DK, JP, NO, PT et ES. De nouvelles feuilles pour IN et ZA ont été ajoutées à celles de l'édition précédente.

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, 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 sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2006 and constitutes a
technical revision. It includes some replacements of the sheets concerning the following
countries: BR, CN, CZ, DK, JP, NO, PT and ES. New sheets for IN and ZA have been added
to those of the previous edition.

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 sixth edition includes the following modifications to the previous edition:
Brazil  replacement of all sheets
China  replacement of all sheets
Czech Republic replacement of ÉSN by CSN in all sheets
India  new sheets (1 to 2)
Japan  replacement of all sheets
Norway  replacement of all sheets
Portugal  replacement of all sheets
South Africa  new sheets (1 to 5)
Spain  replacement of all sheets
