Devices for the connection of luminaires for household and similar purposes -- Part 1: General requirements
This part of IEC 61995-1 applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires to final circuits rated at not more than 16 A without providing mechanical support for the luminaire. DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating per IEC 60529. Outlets have an earthing contact and a rated current of 6 A, plugs are rated at 6 A, unless otherwise specified in the relevant part 2. The rated voltage is 125 V or 250 V at 50/60 Hz. This standard can also be applied to types other than those with standardised interface. DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this standard are suitable for use under the following conditions: - an ambient temperature not normally exceeding 25 °C, but occasionally reaching 35 °C; - a temperature not exceeding 70 °C at the terminals of the DCL outlet including the effect of heat generated by the luminaire and the passage of current.

Ta del standarda IEC 61995-1 velja za naprave za priključitev svetilk (DCL), namenjene za gospodinjstvo in podobne namene, za električno priključitev vgrajenih svetilk v končna vezja z močjo največ 16 A brez zagotavljanja mehanske podpore za svetilko. DCL-ji so namenjeni uporabi v skladu s svojo stopnjo IP po standardu IEC 60529. Vtičnice imajo kontakt za ozemljitev in naznačeni tok 6 A, vtiči so ocenjeni na 6 A, razen če v ustreznem 2. delu ni določeno drugače. Nazivna napetost je 125 V ali 250 V pri 50/60 Hz. Ta standard se lahko uporablja tudi za druge vrste brez standardiziranega vmesnika. Vtiči DCL in vtičnice DCL, ki so v skladu s tem standardom, so primerni za uporabo pod naslednjimi pogoji: - temperatura okolice, ki običajno ne presega 25 °C, vendar občasno doseže 35 °C; - temperatura, ki ne presega 70 °C na terminalih vtičnice DCL, vključno z učinkom toplote, ki jo povzroči svetilka, in prehodom toka.

FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR PURPOSES –
Part 1: General requirements
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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 61995-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 23B: Plugs, socket-

FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR PURPOSES –
Part 1: General requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61995-1 applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended
for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires to final
circuits rated at not more than 16 A without providing mechanical support for the luminaire.
DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating per IEC 60529.
Outlets have an earthing contact and a rated current of 6 A, plugs are rated at 6 A, unless
otherwise specified in the relevant part 2.
The rated voltage is 125 V or 250 V at 50/60 Hz.
NOTE 1 This standard does not cover integrated DCL-plugs (under consideration).
This standard can also be applied to types other than those with standardised interface.
NOTE 2 In the following countries only types with a standardised interface according to IEC 61995-2 (under
consideration) are allowed: IT.
DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this standard are suitable for use under the
following conditions:
– an ambient temperature not normally exceeding 25 °C, but occasionally reaching 35 °C;
NOTE 3 The effect of the heat generated by the luminaire may affect the ambient temperature local to the
DCL.
– a temperature not exceeding 70 °C at the terminals of the DCL outlet including the effect
of heat generated by the luminaire and the passage of current.
NOTE 4 The requirements and tests of this standard may also be used as a guide when testing DCL's which
have different interface configurations or ratings.
