Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Product data and properties for information exchange
This International Standard establishes the reference dictionary of the general description of
low-voltage switchgear and controlgear classes based on defined properties.
This dictionary is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing lowvoltage
switchgear and controlgear.
This standard provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties
and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products
particularly in electronic catalogues.
Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and naming, and where relevant, a
defined value list, a defined format and a defined unit.
The intention is not to cover manufacturer specific features.
Niederspannungsschaltgeräte - Produktdaten und -eigenschaften für den Informationsaustausch
Appareillage à basse tension - Données et propriétés de produits pour l'échange d'informations
L'IEC 62683:2015 définit le dictionnaire de référence pour la description générale des appareillages à basse tension sur la base de propriétés définies. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2013. Elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à la première édition:
a) nouvelles descriptions de 41 classes pour les familles de disjoncteurs et de leurs périphériques associés (ACC2xx), les interrupteurs et sectionneurs (ACC3xx), les auxiliaires de commande (ACC5xx) et les blocs de jonction (ACC7xx) en plus des 14 classes pour les démarreurs de moteurs de la première édition;
b) nouvelles propriétés associées et listes de valeurs nécessaires pour les nouvelles classes;
c) trois nouveaux blocs de propriétés: ACC017 Tête de l'appareil pour circuit de commande, ACC018 Bloc lumineux de l'appareil de circuit de commande et ACC041 Protection contre la surintensité;
d) utilisation de LEVEL_TYPE pour remplacer les propriétés minimum et maximum par une propriété unique avec deux valeurs.
Nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - Podatki o izdelku in njegovih lastnostih za izmenjavo informacij
Ta mednarodni standard določa referenčni slovar s splošnim opisom razredov nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav na podlagi opredeljenih lastnosti. Ta slovar omogoča izmenjavo podatkov v elektronski obliki za opis nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav.
Ta standard podaja jasne in nedvoumne definicije omejenega števila lastnosti in razredov, ki se običajno uporabljajo za predstavitev, izbiro in identifikacijo izdelkov, še posebej v elektronskih katalogih.
Vsaka lastnost ima nedvoumno opredeljen pomen in poimenovanje ter opredeljen vrednostni seznam, opredeljeno obliko in opredeljeno enoto (kjer je ustrezno). Zajemanje posebnih lastnosti proizvajalca ni del namena tega standarda.

LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
PRODUCT DATA AND PROPERTIES FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62683 has been prepared by subcommittee 121A: Low-voltage
switchgear and controlgear, of the IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear and controlgear
and their assemblies for low voltage.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This present edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the
first edition:
a) new descriptions of 41 classes for the families of circuit-breakers and their associated
devices (ACC2xx), switches and disconnectors (ACC3xx), control switches (ACC5xx) and
terminal blocks (ACC7xx) in addition to 14 classes for motor-starters of the first edition;
b) new associated properties and value lists necessary for the new classes;
c) three new blocks of properties: ACC017 Head of the control circuit device, ACC018 Light
block of the control circuit device and ACC041 Over-current release;
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

d) use of LEVEL_TYPE for replacing minimum and maximum properties into a single property
with two values.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
121A/47/FDIS 121A/53/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
Mainly large customers and wholesalers are requesting standardized product descriptions and
product properties from product manufacturers. However, all stakeholders will benefit from
this standardised presentation and data exchange.
Multiple associations or groups of actors launched different initiatives to try to respond to this
demand but, due to the lack of standardisation of classes and properties, the situation is not
satisfactory neither for customers nor for manufacturers.
In order to keep the lead of product description, IEC proposes a new consistent solution
within its product standards.
The purpose of this International Standard is to:
• define device classes and properties for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear in a
dedicated standard,
• provide a basis for introduction of the low-voltage switchgear and
