SIST IEC 60884-1:2009

Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes - Part 1: General requirements

This part of IEC 60884 applies to plugs and fixed or portable socket-outlets for a.c. only, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage greater than 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.[
]This consolidated version consists of the third edition (2002)    and its amendment 1 (2006). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.

Prises de courant pour usages domestiques et analogues - Partie 1: Règles générales

La présente partie de la CEI 60884 s'applique aux fiches et aux socles fixes ou mobiles pour courant alternatif seulement, avec ou sans contact de terre, de tension assignée supérieure à 50 V mais ne dépassant pas 440 V et de courant assigné ne dépassant pas 32 A, destinés aux usages domestiques et usages analogues, à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur des bâtiments. [
] Cette version consolidée comprend la troisième édition (2002) et son amendement 1 (2006). Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de commander  l'amendement avec cette publication.
