Applies to two-pole non-reversible appliance couplers for cold conditions for a.c. only, with a degree of protection against ingress of water higher than IPX0, with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V and rated current not exceeding 10 A for a 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply. They are intended for the connection of the supply cord to portable electrical appliances of class II for household, commercial and light industrial use. The clauses of this standard supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in IEC 60320-1. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (1998) and its amendment 1 (2004). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
