Overview

FprEN IEC 61537:2022/FprAA:2022 is a CLC draft amendment to the European adoption of IEC 61537 that governs cable management - cable tray systems and cable ladder systems. This prAA updates the normative references and adds requirements on electromagnetic characteristics for linear cable management systems (CMS). It is intended to support conformity with the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and to be applied by manufacturers, testers and specifiers of cable tray and ladder systems.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope and classification: Covers design, dimensions, construction, marking and documentation of cable tray systems and cable ladder systems used for electrical installations.
• New normative reference: Adds CLC/TR 50659:2017 - Electromagnetic characteristics of linear cable management systems (CMS) to Clause 2 (Normative references).
• Electromagnetic characteristics (Clause 16):
  • Manufacturers may declare shielding effectiveness against magnetic fields and/or transfer impedance for cable trays and ladders.
  • Compliance and verification shall be carried out using CLC/TR 50659:2017.
• Safety and conformity mapping: Annex ZZ links standard clauses (mechanical, thermal, electrical properties, fire hazard, external influences, marking) to the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU, clarifying which requirements support regulatory presumption of conformity.
• Normative references annex (Annex ZA): Lists related international standards (environmental testing, galvanizing and coating standards, fire tests, salt spray and corrosion tests) that are referenced for testing, coating and durability requirements.

Applications and Who Uses It

• Manufacturers of cable trays, cable ladders and accessories use the standard to design, test and declare product performance (mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, electromagnetic shielding).
• Specifiers and system designers rely on the standard to select appropriate cable management products for industrial, commercial and infrastructure installations.
• Testing laboratories and certification bodies use the referenced methods (including CLC/TR 50659) to verify mechanical, thermal, fire and electromagnetic properties.
• Installers and contractors use the standard to ensure compliant installation, marking and documentation that meet regulatory requirements.
• Procurement and compliance teams use the standard to evaluate supplier declarations and conformity with the Low Voltage Directive.

Related Standards (selected)

• CLC/TR 50659:2017 - Electromagnetic characteristics of linear CMS (normative for Clause 16)
• IEC 60068-2-75 - Environmental hammer tests
• IEC 60364-5-52 / HD 60364-5-52 - Wiring systems
• ISO 1461, ISO 9227, ISO 2808 - Galvanizing, corrosion and coating test methods
• EN/IEC 60695 series - Fire hazard / glow-wire tests

This amendment strengthens the emphasis on electromagnetic performance of cable management systems while maintaining established requirements for mechanical, thermal, fire and corrosion resistance-helping manufacturers and users ensure safe, durable and compliant cable tray and ladder installations.
