IEC 61076-3-001:2008 is a blank detail product specification and as such a supplementary document to the sectional product specification IEC 61076-3; it contains requirements for style, layout and content of detail product specifications for rectangular connectors. Is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61076-1 and IEC 61076-3. This new edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: it does no longer include the quality assessment procedures, which are now covered by IEC 62197.
