La présente partie de la CEI 60884 s'applique aux socles de prises de courant avec interrupteurs sans verrouillage, pour installations fixes, pour courant alternatif seulement, avec ou sans contact de terre, de tension assignée ne dépassant pas 440 V et de courant assigné ne dépassant pas 32 A, destinés aux usages domestiques et analogues soit à l'intérieur soit à l'extérieur.

Vtiči in vtičnice za gospodinjstva in podobne namene - 2-3. del: Posebne zahteve za vtičnice s stikali brez zapore za fiksne inštalacije

Uporablja se ta klavzula prvega dela, razen kot sledi. Zamenjava prvega odstavka: Ta del IEC 60884 velja samo za vtičnice s stikali brez zapore za fiksne inštalacije z izmeničnim tokom, z ali brez ozemljitvenega kontakta, z ocenjeno napetostjo, ki ne presega 440 V in ocenjenim tokom ki ne presega 32 A, ki so namenjene za gospodinjstva in podobne namene, naj si bo v zaprtih prostorih ali zunaj. OPOMBA 101 Vtičnice s stikali se lahko izdelujejo tudi z združevanjem vtičnice IEC 60884-1 in stikala IEC 60669-11.

PLUGS AND SOCKET-OUTLETS FOR HOUSEHOLD
AND SIMILAR PURPOSES –

Part 2-3: Particular requirements for switched socket-outlets
without interlock for fixed installations


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.
International Standard IEC 60884-2-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 23B: Plugs,
socket-outlets and switches, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
This second edition of IEC 60884-2-3 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1989,
and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes from the previous edition are as
follows:
– alignment to IEC 60884-1, third edition.

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
23B/831/FDIS 23B/848/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard 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.
This Part 2-3 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60884-1. It was established on
the basis of the third edition (2002) of that standard.
This Part 2-3 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60884-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for switched socket-
outlets without interlock for fixed installations.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is mentioned in this Part 2-3, that subclause applies as
far as reasonable. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the
relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
In this standard the following print types are used:
– requirements proper: in roman type;
– test specification: in italic type;
− explanatory notes: in small roman type.
Subclauses and tables or figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
When clauses of Part 1 are declared as applicable, they apply only where they contain
requirements concerning switched socket-outlets without interlock for fixed installations.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60884 series, under the general title Plugs and socket-outlets for
household and similar purposes, can be found on the IEC website.
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.
