Overview

EN IEC 61084-2-4:2024/A11:2024 (CLC/CENELEC amendment A11) is a European amendment to Part 2-4 of the IEC 61084 series, covering cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems with particular requirements for service poles and service posts (free‑standing installation units). Approved by CENELEC on 2024-08-05, this amendment updates normative references, refines construction and test requirements, and adds compliance guidance for manufacturers moving from EN 50085-2-4:2009 to EN IEC 61084-2-4:2024.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Particular requirements for service poles and service posts within cable trunking and ducting systems.
• Normative references: Updates to referenced standards (e.g., ISO 536:2019, ISO 535:2014, EN 10028-7:2016) used for test methods and materials.
• Construction: Clarifications on sharp edges, apparatus mounting, cable restraint, access to live parts and protection against water contact during wet-floor treatment.
• Mechanical properties: Revised notes and test references for impact tests, linear deflection, horizontal load and fixing tests (including materials such as stainless steel X5CrNi18‑10 per EN 10028‑7:2016).
• Fire hazard: Spread‑of‑fire testing specified to use IEC 60695‑11‑2:2017 method B.
• Electrical and thermal properties: Requirements for electrical continuity, insulation and thermal retention tests for non‑metallic/composite components.
• Routine tests: Amendment to routine checks for pre‑wired units - "Earth - Correct connection" clarifies verification of earth conductor connection to socket earth pin/contact.
• Annex C (normative): A practical compliance-check matrix indicating which tests are required or not required when declaring conformity for systems formerly compliant with EN 50085‑2‑4:2009.
• Regulatory linkage: Annex ZZ maps the standard to the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive), supporting presumption of conformity when cited in the OJ.

Applications and users

This standard is essential for:

• Manufacturers and designers of cable trunking and cable ducting products, especially service poles and service posts.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing mechanical, electrical and fire testing.
• Specifiers, electrical contractors and compliance engineers responsible for product selection, installation and demonstrating conformity with the Low Voltage Directive.
• Regulatory authorities assessing market surveillance and harmonised standard compliance.

Related standards

• EN IEC 61084-1:2024 (General requirements)
• EN 50085-2-4:2009 (earlier version referenced in Annex C)
• IEC 60695-11-2:2017 (fire testing method B)
• ISO 536:2019, ISO 535:2014, EN 10028-7:2016

Keywords: EN IEC 61084-2-4:2024/A11:2024, cable trunking systems, cable ducting systems, service poles, service posts, CENELEC, compliance checks, Low Voltage Directive.
