(Main)Installation couplers intended for permanent connection in fixed installations (IEC 61535:2019)
Installation couplers intended for permanent connection in fixed installations (IEC 61535:2019)
This document applies to two-wire, up to five-wire installation couplers, including earth, if
provided, with a rated voltage up to and including 500 V AC or DC and a rated connecting
capacity up to and including 10 mm2 for permanent connection in electrical installations.
Installation couplers with additional contacts for voltages other than mains voltages are
outside the scope of this document.
An installation coupler consists of an installation female connector and an installation male
connector for permanent connection not intended to be engaged or disengaged under load
nor to be engaged or disengaged other than during first installation or during reconfiguration
or maintenance of the wiring system in which installation couplers have been installed. This
means that installation couplers are only intended for infrequent use.
Installation couplers are not suitable for use in place of socket-outlet systems. Installation
couplers are not suitable for use in place of devices for connecting luminaires (DCLs)
according to IEC 61995 (all parts) or in place of luminaire supporting couplers (LSCs).
Installation couplers complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient
temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period does not exceed
+35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C, either for indoor or outdoor
use.
NOTE 1 Additional tests for use in cold climates are under consideration.
NOTE 2 For other temperatures, necessary information can be given in the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
In locations where special conditions prevail, as in ships, vehicles and the like and in
hazardous locations, for example where explosions are liable to occur, special constructions
can be required.
NOTE 3 Installation couplers are intended to be installed by instructed or skilled persons.

Coupleurs d'installation pour connexions permanentes dans les installations fixes (IEC 61535:2019)
IEC 61535:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61535:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
IEC 61535:2019 s'applique aux coupleurs d'installation comportant de deux à cinq conducteurs, y compris le conducteur de terre (le cas échéant), de tension assignée jusqu'à 500 V inclus en courant alternatif ou en courant continu et de capacité de connexion assignée jusqu'à 10 mm2 inclus, pour connexion permanente dans les installations électriques. Les coupleurs d'installation avec des contacts supplémentaires pour des tensions autres que la tension d'alimentation du réseau ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2009 et l'Amendement 1:2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- extension du domaine d'application à l'application en courant continu;
- ajout des exigences supplémentaires en matière d'application en courant continu (marquage, etc.), aucune procédure d'essai supplémentaire n'a été jugée nécessaire; toutefois, certaines modifications du texte normatif étaient nécessaires;
- modifications et amélioration du champ d'application des coupleurs d'installation aux applications extérieures;
- ajout d'une plage de températures appropriée;
- mise à jour de la liste des références normatives, modifiée pour inclure des références non datées, lorsque cela était possible.

(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation
request relating to harmonised standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive,
M/511, to provide one voluntary means of conforming to safety objectives of Directive
2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on
the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available
on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that
Directive, compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1
confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity
with the corresponding safety objectives of that Directive, and associated EFTA
regulations.
