MT 4 - TC 23/SC 23B/MT 4

IEC 60884-1:2022 applies to plugs and fixed or portable socket-outlets for AC only, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage greater than 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.
Compatible plugs and socket-outlets, when combined, form a plug and socket-outlet system. Standardized systems used around the world are reported in IEC/TR 60083.
The rated current is limited to 16 A maximum for accessories provided with screwless-type terminals.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002, Amendment 1:2006 and Amendment 2:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
plugs and socket-outlets incorporating pilot lights;
crimped connections in accessories;
insulation piercing terminals (IPT);
accessories to be used with American Wire Gauge (AWG) cables;
accessories used in T° below −5 °C down to and including −45 °C;
accessories used in T° above +40 °C up to and including +70 °C;
plugs and socket-outlets for high load (HL);
clarification of some definitions;
durability of markings test;
introduction of thermal monitoring in the plug;
requirements for shutters in portable socket-outlets;
test walls for the verification of ingress of water;
rewriting of the temperature rise clause.

IEC 60669-1:2017 is also available as IEC 60669-1:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60669-1:2017 applies to manually operated general purpose functional switches, for alternating current (AC) only with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V with a rated current not exceeding 63 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors. For switches provided with screwless terminals, the rated current is limited to 16 A. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1998, Amendment 1:1999 and Amendment 2:2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) change of the scope for motor load switches;
b) deletion of some dated normative references;
c) changes to the definitions;
d) in Clause 5 the number of specimens to be used for the tests are clearly given in Table 1 (Corresponding Annex A of IEC 60669-1:1998 was therefore deleted);
e) in Clause 5 it was clarified on which switches the tests of Clause 19 shall be carried out;
f) requirements concerning 13 A switches have been included;
g) mandatory indication that a terminal is suitable for rigid conductor only;
h) requirements and test conditions for flexible conductors have been included in Clause 12;
i) requirements for pilot light units have been included;
j) new test for self-ballasted lamp loads in 19.3;
k) Table 20 has been completely redrawn to cover normal, mini and micro-gap switches and renumbered Table 21;
l) new informative Annex B including changes planned for the future in order to align IEC 60669-1 with the requirements of IEC 60998 (all parts), IEC 60999 (all parts) and IEC 60228;
m) new informative Annex C about the circuit development for 19.3;
n) new informative Annex D including additional requirements for insulation-piercing terminals;
o) new informative Annex E including additional requirements and tests for switches intended to be used at a temperature lower than -5 °C.

IEC 60884-2-7:2011 applies to cord extension sets, rewirable and non rewirable, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage greater than 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60884-1:2002.

This part of IEC 60884 applies to socket-outlets for a.c. only, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, which are integrated or intended to be incorporated in or fixed to appliances, hereafter referred to as socket-outlets for appliances.

This part of IEC 60884 applies to switched socket-outlets without interlock, for fixed installation, for a.c. only, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.

This part of IEC 60884 applies to fused plugs, where the fuses are primarily intended to protect the flexible cable or cord. These fuses are not intended to protect appliances or parts of them against overload.

This part of IEC 60669 applies to manually operated general purpose isolating switches with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors.

Applies to plugs and fixed or portable socket-outlets for a.c. only, with and without earthing contact, with a rated voltage above 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar proposes, either, indoors or outdoors.

Applies to switched socket-outlets with interlock for a.c. only, for fixed electrical installations, with or without earthing contact, with rated voltage above 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.
