Overview
EN IEC 60898-3:2025/A1:2025 (IEC 60898-3:2019/AMD1:2022) is a CLC/CENELEC adoption and amendment of the international standard for circuit‑breakers for DC operation used in household and similar installations. It specifies requirements for DC overcurrent protection devices with defined electrical ratings and test provisions, and it is intended for harmonized national implementation across CENELEC members.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and ratings: applies to DC circuit‑breakers with a DC rated voltage not exceeding 440 V, a rated current not exceeding 125 A, and a rated short‑circuit capacity not exceeding 10 000 A.
- Application domain: focused on overcurrent protection for household and similar installations in DC systems.
- Amendment details: this document is Amendment A1 to IEC 60898-3:2019 (IEC 60898-3:2019/AMD1:2022) and was approved by CENELEC in 2025.
- Standards governance: prepared by IEC TC 23 / SC 23E (“Circuit‑breakers and similar equipment for household use”) and published in the three official languages (EN/FR/DE).
- Test and normative content: the amendment affects the main document’s test clauses (for example, Subclause 9.17.5 - testing for determination of withstand capacity against making currents - is deleted in text though Figures 1–18 remain). The standard references normative documents that are indispensable for correct application.
- Implementation timeline: national adoption deadline (dop) 2026‑03‑31; conflicting national standards withdrawal deadline (dow) 2028‑03‑31.
- Regulatory context: prepared under a standardisation request to CENELEC and includes an informative Annex ZZ linking to EU legislation.
Applications and users
This standard is directly relevant to:
- Manufacturers of DC miniature circuit‑breakers (MCCBs/MCBs) for solar PV, battery energy storage, EV chargers and other DC household systems.
- Design engineers specifying overcurrent protection in DC residential and light‑commercial installations.
- Test laboratories and certifiers assessing compliance with IEC/CENELEC requirements.
- Regulators, procurement specialists and spec writers referencing harmonized European requirements for product acceptance and safety.
- Installers and maintenance teams seeking to understand device limits (voltage, current, short‑circuit capacity) for safe selection and replacement.
Related standards
- EN IEC 60898-3:2025 (main part) - read in conjunction with this amendment.
- Other IEC/EN standards on overcurrent protection and electrical accessories may be referenced as normative documents within the text.
