IEC 60320-2-4:2005+A1:2009 is applicable to two-pole appliance couplers 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, for household and similar general purposes and intended for incorporation or integration within electric appliances or other electric equipment of multi part construction for 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply which depend on the weight of the appliance to ensure correct engagement.This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60320-1: Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes - Part 1: General requirements. It was established on the basis of the second edition of that standard (2001). This consolidated version of IEC 60320-2-4 consists of the first edition (2005) and its amendment 1 (2009).Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2005) and its amendment 1 (2009).
