Overview

EN 60998-2-2:2004 (CLC/CENELEC) is the European adoption of IEC 60998-2-2:2002 (with common modifications) that defines particular requirements for connecting devices as separate entities with screwless‑type clamping units for low‑voltage circuits for household and similar purposes. It is a supplement to EN 60998-1:2004 and replaces EN 60685-2-1 (1980). This standard has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and is intended to be read together with Part 1 (EN 60998-1).

Key topics and technical scope

The standard focuses on the specific requirements that convert the general provisions of EN 60998-1 into rules applicable to screwless‑type clamping connecting devices. Main areas covered include:

• Scope and application: clarifies that the document supplements Part 1 and applies principally to devices intended for connecting unprepared conductors.
• Particular requirements and adaptations: additions, modifications or replacements to clauses of EN 60998-1 that are necessary for screwless clamping technologies.
• Test specifications and conformity: additional or modified test methods and acceptance criteria specific to screwless connectors (as set out in the text and test clauses).
• Documentation, marking and numbering: requirements for how product information and standards cross‑references are presented.
• CENELEC common modifications: specific editorial and technical adjustments made when adopting the IEC text (e.g., deletions of certain notes and Annex BB).

Note: EN 60998-2-2 uses clause numbering starting at 101 for additions to Part 1 and distinguishes requirement text, test specifications, and explanatory material by typography.

Practical applications and intended users

This standard is directly useful for:

• Manufacturers and designers of connecting devices and terminal blocks that use screwless clamping units for household and similar low‑voltage installations.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies assessing conformity to EN/IEC safety and performance requirements.
• Regulatory authorities and standards committees harmonizing national regulations with CENELEC requirements.
• Specifiers, electrical engineers and procurement teams choosing compliant connecting devices for residential and similar applications.

Using EN 60998-2-2 together with EN 60998-1 ensures compliant, safe selection and testing of screwless connection solutions in low‑voltage household environments.
