Overview
SIST EN 60670-23:2009/A1:2023 is a critical European standard developed by CLC that specifies particular requirements for floor boxes and enclosures used for electrical accessories in household and similar fixed electrical installations. This amendment (A1:2023) updates the original EN 60670-23:2008 standard by incorporating the latest safety, mechanical, and performance criteria related to floor-mounted electrical enclosures, ensuring enhanced protection, durability, and safety for electrical installations in floor settings.
The standard applies to boxes and enclosures with provisions for suspension means intended for installation in floors that may be subjected to dry or wet treatments. It sets out classification, mechanical strength, water ingress protection (IP ratings), and testing requirements designed to maintain the efficient and safe functioning of electrical accessories within these enclosures.
Key Topics
Scope & Application
Covers boxes and enclosures designed specifically for floor mounting in household and similar fixed electrical installations, focusing on devices with suspension features. It clarifies the intended use of flush floor boxes protecting accessories against loads up to 1,000 N.Classification of Floor Boxes
- Enclosures with removable lids versus fixed lids
- Designed for floors with dry treatment
- Designed for floors with wet treatment
- IPX4 rated floor boxes for wet floor applications, guaranteeing water ingress protection with lids closed and no cables attached.
Mechanical Strength and Load Testing
- Compression tests to validate the ability of floor boxes to withstand mechanical loads without damage to the structure or the lid.
- Ensures durability and safety under typical or heavy use scenarios in domestic or similar environments.
Water Tightness Requirements
- Air and water tightness testing to ensure no water ingress occurs during and after exposure, maintaining electrical safety and longevity of accessories.
Openings for Cable Passage
- Specifies requirements for cable entry points on floor enclosures to maintain IP protection and ease of installation for connected equipment.
Standard Integration and Reference
- To be read in conjunction with EN IEC 60670-1:2021 and relevant amendments for comprehensive guidance on boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories.
Applications
SIST EN 60670-23:2009/A1:2023 is indispensable for manufacturers, installers, and inspectors involved in:
- Residential electrical installations requiring floor-mounted outlet boxes or cable enclosures.
- Commercial and office buildings where floor distribution and access to electrical connections must meet stringent safety requirements.
- Public and institutional construction projects aiming to ensure compliance with European electrotechnical standards.
- Designing and certifying electrical accessories that integrate safely and efficiently into fixed floor installations, protecting against mechanical stress and environmental factors like moisture.
By adhering to this standard, stakeholders can ensure that floor boxes and enclosures provide reliable protection, reduce risks of electrical hazards, and meet regulatory requirements across the EU and EFTA states.
