Abstract

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. The contents of the corrigendum of November 2023 have been included in this copy.
