    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This International Standard applies to twist-on connecting devices for connecting two or more unprepared rigid and/or flexible copper conductors having a cross-sectional area of 0,5 mm2 up to and including 16 mm2 and complying with EN 60228, the total cross-sectional area of the connected conductors not exceeding 35 mm2. It covers low voltage circuits up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. where electrical energy is utilized for household and similar purposes. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
