BS EN 60998-1 applies to connecting devices as separate entities for the connection of two or more electrical copper conductors (complying with IEC 60228 or IEC 60344) rigid (solid or stranded) or flexible, having a cross-sectional area of 0,2 mm2 up to and including 35 mm2 with a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. up to and including 1 000 Hz and 1 500 V d.c. where electrical energy is used for household and similar purposes.
BS EN 60998-1 on connecting devices for low-voltage circuits for household and similar purposes is helpful for:
Having access to reliable requirements is essential to prepare and use quality connecting devices for low-voltage circuits. BS EN 60998-1 provides manufacturers with the general notes on tests, the main characteristics and steps to take for protection against electric shock, which allows them to manufacture and test connecting devices for low-voltage circuits effectively.
BS EN 60998-1 provides users with efficient and standardized connecting devices for low-voltage circuits for household and similar purposes.
