The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee PEL/23, Electrical accessories, to Subcommittee PEL/23/3, Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understan
4、d the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this
5、 committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC27-1 has been renumbered as IEC60027-1. For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the other, publications ma
6、y contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these
7、 international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary p

It does not apply to cord sets for industrial
23、purposes (with plugs and connectors according to IEC60309) nor to cord extension sets. NOTEAlthough electrical supply flexes provided with rewirable plugs and connectors are not cord sets in the sense of this standard, but considered as being similar to cord sets and serving the same purpose, it is
24、recommended to apply the requirements as specified in this standard to such assemblies as well as far as is reasonable. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time
25、 of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.

Amendment 1 (1994) Amendment 2 (1995) 3 Definitions For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 cord set assembly consisting of one flexible cable or cordfitted with one non-rewirable plug and one
30、non-rewirable connector, intended for the connection of an electrical appliance or equipment to the electrical supply 3.2 interconnection cord set assembly consisting of one cord with one non-rewirable plug connector and one non-rewirable connector, intended for the interconnection of the electrical
31、 supply from one electrical appliance or equipment to another NOTE 1The definitions of non-rewirable plug and non-rewirable connector are given in IEC60884-1 and IEC60320-1 respectively. NOTE 2The difference between a cord set or an interconnection cord set and a cord extension set is that the latte
32、r has a portable socket-outlet instead of a connector and cannot be used to connect appliances or equipment directly to the electrical supply. NOTE 3Non-rewirable plugs attached to a length of cord, sometimes called incomplete cord sets, are covered by IEC60884-1. 3.3 type test test of one or more d
33、evices made to a certain design to show that the design meets certain specifications IEV151-04-15 3.4 routine test test to which each individual device is subjected during and/or after manufacture to ascertain whether it complies with certain criteria IEV151-04-16 4 General requirements Cord sets an
34、d interconnection cord sets shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use their performance is reliable and without danger to the user or surroundings. Tests shall be made to prove compliance with the requirements laid down in this standard, where applicable. Tests are as follows: type tes
35、ts are made on representative samples of each cord set and interconnection cord set; routine tests are made on each cord set and interconnection cord set manufactured to this standard, where applicable. NOTERoutine tests are specified inAnnex A.EN60799:1998 4 BSI 05-1999 5 Requirements 5.1 Requireme
36、nts for component parts The plug of a cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC60884-1. The connector of a Cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC60320-1. The plug connector of an interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC60320-2-2. The cord of a cord set
37、or interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC60227 or IEC60245. Compliance with the requirements for plugs, connectors, plug connectors and cords is checked by the tests specified in the relevant standards. During the test of one component, the influence on the other componen
38、ts of the assembly is ignored. The end of a stranded conductor shall not be consolidated by soft soldering at places where the conductor is subject to contact pressure unless the clamping means is designed so as to obviate the risk of a bad contact due to cold flow of the solder. 5.2 Requirements fo
39、r the assembly 5.2.1 Rated voltage The rated voltage of the connector and the cord shall be not less than the rated voltage of the plug. For interconnection cord sets the rated voltage of the connector and the plug connector shall be the same. 5.2.2 Rated current The rated current of the plug shall
40、be not less than the rated current of the connector. 5.2.3 Class of equipment The plug and the connector shall be of a type intended for the connection of the same class of equipment, as given in IEC60536. A cord set comprising a connector for class II equipment may, however, comprise a plug for cla
41、ssI equipment according to IEC60083 or to other three-pin systems. 5.2.4 Marking Plugs, connectors and plug connectors shall be marked as specified in the relevant standards. Cord sets and interconnection cord sets that are not delivered together with an appliance and of which the plug or the plug c
42、onnector and the connector have not been made by the same manufacturer shall, in addition, be marked with either the name, trade mark or identification mark of the maker of the complete cord set or interconnection cord set or of the responsible vendor. This marking shall not only be put on the packa
43、ge. NOTEThe marking of the name, trade mark or identification mark of the maker or responsible vendor may for example be applied on a sleeve provided around the cord set. Plugs, connectors, cord sets or interconnection cord sets for the connection of classII equipment shall not be marked with the sy
44、mbol for classII construction (the double square). 5.2.5 Type of cord The cord of a cord set or interconnection cord set shall be not lighter than the type, and have a cross-sectional area not less than that specified in the following table, depending on the type of connector incorporated in the cor
45、d set or interconnection cord set. NOTEA cord of a lower IEC code designation (e.g.60227 IEC42) is lighter than a cord of a higher code designation (e.g.60227 IEC53).EN60799:1998 BSI 05-1999 5 Table 1 Types of cords for cord sets and interconnection cord sets Compliance with the requirements of5.2.1
46、 to5.2.5 is checked by inspection. 5.2.6 Length of cord The length of the flexible cord of a cord set or interconnection cord set shall be not more than2m if the cord has a cross-sectional area of0,5mm 2or less. NOTEFlat twin tinsel cords, IEC code designation60227 IEC41, have a cross-section less t
47、han0,5mm 2 . The length of the cord is measured between the points where the cord or cord guard enters the plug or plug connector and the connector respectively. If there is no definite end, the length is measured from the point where the overall diameter is1mm more than the outer diameter of the co
48、rd. For flat cords, this increased diameter is measured over the larger axis of the cord. Compliance with the requirements is checked by inspection and measurement. 6 Continuity and polarity In cord sets and interconnection cord sets for use in polarized systems, the continuity between corresponding
49、 plug-pins and connector-contacts shall be maintained correctly in each pole. Compliance is checked by measurement. 7 EMC requirements NOTERequirements for accessories incorporating electronic components are not included as the need has not yet been established. 7.1 Immunity 7.1.1 Cord sets and interconnection cord sets not incorporating electronic components These cord sets and interconnection cord sets are not sensitive to normal electromagnetic disturbances and therefore no immunity tests are required. 7.2 Emission 7.2.1 Cord sets
