CABLE TRUNKING SYSTEMS AND CABLE DUCTING
SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS –
Part 2-2: Particular requirements – Cable trunking systems and cable
ducting systems intended for mounting underfloor, flushfloor, or onfloor
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 61084-2-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable
management systems, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• classification;
• construction;
• mechanical and electrical properties.
This International standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61084-1:2017.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN IEC 61084-2-2:2023
IEC 61084-2-2:2017 © IEC 2017 – 9 –
Compliance is checked by inspection and measurement.
NOTE The dimensioning of the maximum width of the clear opening is based on the grain size of cementitious
screeds.
9.106 CTS/CDS declared according to 6.101.2 and 6.101.3 shall avoid water coming into
contact with insulated conductors and live parts during wet-treatment of floor by one or a
combination of the following methods which may vary within the system:
– method 1: ensuring by design that water does not come into contact with insulated
conductors and live parts when the water level is 10 mm above the upper level of the floor
covering;
– method 2: providing an IP rating not less than IPX4;
– method 3: providing manufacturer's instructions which require that insulated conductors
and live parts are positioned not less than 10 mm above the upper level of the floor
covering.
For method 1, compliance is checked by measurement. For method 2, compliance is checked
by the test of 14.1.2. For method 3, compliance is checked by inspection.
9.107 Access cover of service unit, if any, shall withstand repeated opening and closing as
in normal use.
Compliance is checked by 100 cycles of opening and closing of the access cover.
After the test there shall be no damage to impair the further use of the access cover.
9.108 Additional requirements for service units intended to be installed onfloor are given in
IEC 61084-2-4:2017.
10 Mechanical properties
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
10.1 Mechanical strength
Replacement:
Underfloor, flushfloor and onfloor CTS/CDS shall have adequate mechanical strength.
Compliance is checked by the tests specified in 10.3 and 10.5 according to Annex AA.
10.2 Cable support test
Not applicable.
10.3 Impact test
10.3.2 Impact test for installation and application
Additional subclauses:
10.3.2.101 Systems components only intended to be mounted underfloor are not tested. The
test is carried out on an assembly made of one or more trunking lengths or ducting lengths
with the relevant system component, if any, to fulfil the various functions of the system and
prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions. More than one assembly may be
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN IEC 61084-2-2:2023
– 10 – IEC 61084-2-2:2017 © IEC 2017
necessary to fulfil the various functions of the system. In each direction, the length L of
trunking length or ducting length coming out of the functional area associated with the
function of the system is as long as the width W of the trunking length or ducting length, or
250 mm, whichever is the greater. The tolerance of L is ± 25 mm.
NOTE 1 Functional area refers, for example, to a fitting, an apparatus mounting device or a junction as shown in
Figure 106.
The samples are mounted on a rigid smooth support such as a plywood board 16 mm thick,
with a 50 mm minimum spacing between the assembly and the edge of the support.
NOTE 2 For flushfloor CTS/CDS additional provision can be included to simulate the influence of the floor
material on the side of the product.
Other system components can be included to prevent movements. These system components
are the system components to terminate the trunking length or ducting length, if any. When
there is no such system component, a system component chosen by the manufacturer is
used.
Examples for arrangement are shown in Figure 107.
Before the test non-metallic system components and composite system components are aged
at the temperature declared according to Table 3 of Part 1 with a tolerance of ±2 °C for
(168 ± 4) h continuously.
10.3.2.102 The impact test apparatus according to Clause 4 of IEC 60068-2-75:2014, is
mounted on a solid wall or structure providing sufficient support.
The samples are placed in a cabinet at the temperature declared according to Table 2 with a
tolerance of ±2 °C.
10.3.2.103 After 2 h, each sample is, in turn, removed from the cabinet and immediately
placed in position in the impact test apparatus.
At 12 s ± 2 s after the removal of the sample from the cabinet the hammer is allowed to fall so
that an impact is applied as far as possible perpendicular to the accessible region of the
sample likely to be the weakest. Compliance with impact applied before 10 s provides also
compliance with this test of the standard.
NOTE 1 The region likely to be the weakest can be on the relevant system component but can also be on a
trunking length or a ducting length.
No impact is applied to knockouts, membranes and the like.
No impact is applied within 50 mm of any open extremity of the sample.
NOTE 2 When another system component has been included at an extremity of the sample to prevent
movements, this extremity is still considered open.
