Overview

EN 60264-3-3:1994/A1:2004 is a CLC/CENELEC amendment to the European standard for the packaging of winding wires. It specifically addresses taper barrelled delivery spools that are non-returnable and made from thermoplastic material. This amendment (A1) aligns the European text with IEC 60264-3-3:1990/A1:2003 and includes normative references, editorial updates and clarified test references.

Key administrative points include CENELEC approval on 2004-03-01, the requirement for national implementation by 2004-12-01, and withdrawal of conflicting national standards by 2007-03-01.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: Specification of non-returnable thermoplastic taper-barrel delivery spools used for winding wires; intended for manufacturers, packaging suppliers and QA teams.
• Material and type: Focus on spools made from thermoplastic material (non-reusable) with taper-barrel form factor.
• Marking and designation: Requirements for spool marking are clarified; references to the designation were standardized (e.g., use of the designation format IEC 60264-3-3/IEC 250/400 in the amendment).
• Test references: The amendment updates normative references - notably replacing IEC 60264-4-1:1989 by IEC 60264-4-1:1997 for methods of test applicable to thermoplastic delivery spools.
• Behaviour at temperature: The specified test temperature for high-temperature behaviour was revised from 50 ± 3 °C to (60 ± 3) °C in the amendment.
• Editorial refinements: Terminology adjustments (for example, changing “the weight” to “the mass”) and unit formatting (Energy N·m) were made for clarity and consistency.
• Annex ZA: A normative Annex ZA linking IEC normative references to corresponding European publications was added by CENELEC.

Applications

This standard is practical for:

• Manufacturers of winding wires and spool producers who need to produce compliant non-returnable thermoplastic spools.
• Quality assurance and inspection teams verifying marking, mass reporting, and thermal behaviour under specified conditions.
• Procurement and compliance functions ensuring supplied spools meet CENELEC/IEC alignment and national implementation requirements.
• Test laboratories referencing the updated IEC 60264-4-1:1997 test methods for delivery spools made from thermoplastic materials.

Benefits include consistent packaging performance, clearer marking and designation for traceability, and harmonised test methods across markets.

Related Standards

• IEC 60264-3-3 (base International Standard) and the corresponding amendment A1 (IEC 60264-3-3:1990/A1:2003).
• IEC 60264-4-1:1997 - Methods of test for delivery spools made from thermoplastic materials (referenced normative test methods).
• CENELEC implementation guidelines and national adoptions (see Annex ZA for cross-references).

For product teams, compliance managers and test houses, EN 60264-3-3:1994/A1:2004 provides the updated European specification framework to ensure that thermoplastic taper barrelled delivery spools meet harmonised marking, testing and thermal-behaviour expectations.
