IEC 61811-1:2015 applies to electromechanical telecom elementary relays. Relays according to this standard are provided for the operation in telecommunication applications. However, as electromechanical elementary relays, they are also suitable for particular industrial and other applications. This standard selects from IEC 61810 series and other sources the appropriate methods of test to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification, and contains basic test schedules to be used in the preparation of such specifications in accordance with this standard. Detailed test schedules are contained in the detail specifications. This second edition of IEC 61811-1 cancels and replaces IEC 61811-1 published in 1999, IEC 61811-10 published in 2002, IEC 61811-11 published in 2002, IEC 61811-50 published in 2002, IEC 61811-51 published in 2002, IEC 61811-52 published in 2002, IEC 61811-53 published in 2002, IEC 61811-54 published in 2002, IEC 61811-55 published in 2002, and constitutes a technical revision.

This document applies to portable residual current devices (PRCDs) for household and similar uses, consisting of a plug, a residual current device (RCD) and one or more socket-outlets or a provision for connection. They do not incorporate overcurrent protection. They are intended for single- and two-phase systems for rated currents not exceeding 16 A for rated voltages not exceeding 250 V AC, or for rated current not exceeding 32 A for rated voltages not exceeding 130 V AC to earth. They are intended to provide protection against shock hazard in case of direct contact, in addition to the protection provided by the fixed installations for the circuit downstream. PRCDs have a rated residual operating current not exceeding 0,03 A. The plug and socket-outlet parts of a PRCD are covered by the national standard of the country where the PRCD is placed on the market. If no national requirements exist, IEC 60884 1 is used. This document applies to portable devices performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value. PRCDs providing an additional function of detecting faults on the supply side with a defined behaviour in case of supply failures or miswiring (PRCD-S) are also covered by this document. PRCDs are not intended to be used as parts of fixed installations. Their connecting means can be plugs, socket-outlets, terminals or cords. NOTE 1 The requirements for PRCDs are in compliance with the general requirements of IEC 60755. PRCDs are essentially intended to be operated by ordinary persons and designed not to require maintenance. NOTE 2 An integral fuse is used, if necessary, for the relevant plug and socket-outlet system. The switching contacts of the PRCDs are not intended to provide isolation, as isolation can be ensured by disconnecting the plug. The requirements of this document apply for environmental conditions as defined in 7.1. Additional requirements can be necessary for PRCDs used in locations having more severe environmental conditions. PRCDs including batteries are not covered by this document. This document does not contain additional requirements for PRCDs without earthing contacts for which specific requirements can apply. This document can, however, be used as a guide for such devices which are intended to be used with Class II appliances only.

IEC 61643-11:2025 is applicable to devices for surge protection against indirect and direct effects of lightning or other transient overvoltages.
These devices are intended to be connected to AC power circuits and equipment rated up to 1 000 V RMS, the preferred frequencies taken into account in this document are 50/60 Hz. Other frequencies are not excluded. Performance and safety requirements, tests and ratings are specified in this document. These devices contain at least one nonlinear component and are intended to limit surge voltages and divert surge currents.
The test requirements provided by this document are based on the assumption that the SPD is connected to an AC power circuit fed by a power source providing a linear voltage-current characteristic. When the SPD is to be connected to a different kind of source or to a different frequency, careful consideration is required. This mainly applies with regard to system and fault conditions to be expected in such a system (e.g. expected short circuit current, TOV-stresses).
This document can apply for railway applications, when related product standards do not exist for that area or for certain applications.
Based on a risk assessment it might not be necessary to apply all requirements of this document to SPDs designed for specific power applications only, e.g. circuits with a low power capability, circuits supplied by nonlinear sources, circuits with protective separation from the utility supply.
NOTE 1 More information on risk assessment is provided in IEC Guide 116.
NOTE 2 Other exclusions based on national regulations are possible.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Specific requirements for SPDs for AC applications are now contained in this document, whereas the common requirements for all SPDs are now contained in IEC 61643-01;
b) Clarification on test application either to a complete SPD, to a "mode of protection", or to a complete "SPD assembly";
c) Additional measurement of voltage protection level on "combined modes of protection" between live conductors and PE;
d) Additional duty test for T1 and T2 SPDs with follow current to check variation of the follow current value at lower impulse currents;
e) Modified and amended short circuit current test requirements to better cover up to date internal SPD disconnector technologies;
f) Improved dielectric test requirements for the SPD's main circuits and added dielectric test requirements for "electrically separated circuits";
g) Additional clearance requirements for "electrically separated circuits".
The requirements of this document supplement, modify or replace certain of the general requirements contained in IEC 61643-01 and shall be read and applied together with the latest edition of IEC 61643-01, as indicated by the undated normative reference in Clause 2 of this document.

These supplementary requirements apply to fuse-links for application in equipment containing semiconductor devices for circuits of nominal voltages up to 1 000 V AC. or 1 500 V DC. and also, in so far as they are applicable, for circuits of higher nominal voltages.
NOTE 1 Such fuse-Iinks are commonly referred to as "semiconductor fuse-links".
NOTE 2 In most cases, a part of the associated equipment serves the purpose of a fuse-base. Owing to the great variety of equipment, no general rules can be given; the suitability of the associated equipment to serve as a fuse- base should be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the user. However, if separate fuse-bases or fuse-holders are used, they should comply with the appropriate requirements of IEC 60269-1.
NOTE 3 IEC 60269-6 (Low-voltage fuses – Part 6: Supplementary requirements for fuse-links for the protection of solar photovoltaic energy systems) is dedicated to the protection of solar photovoltaic energy systems.
NOTE 4 These fuse-links are intended for use on systems employing the standardized voltages and tolerances of IEC 60038. Tests carried out on fuse-links in accordance with previous editions of this standard shall remain valid until such time as complimentary equipment has evolved to the standardized voltages and tolerances of IEC 60038.

IEC 61643-41:2025 is applicable to devices for surge protection against indirect and direct effects of lightning or other transient overvoltages.
These devices are intended to be connected to DC power circuits and equipment rated up to 1 500 V DC. Performance and safety requirements, tests and ratings are specified in this document. These devices contain at least one nonlinear component and are intended to limit surge voltages and divert surge currents.
The test requirements provided by this document are based on the assumption that the SPD is connected to a DC power circuit fed by a power source providing a linear voltage-current characteristic. When the SPD is to be connected to a different kind of source, careful consideration is required. This mainly applies with regard to system and fault conditions to be expected in such a system (e.g. expected short circuit current, TOV-stresses).
This document can apply for railway applications, when related product standards do not exist for that area or for certain applications.
Based on a risk assessment it might not be necessary to apply all requirements of this document to SPDs designed for specific power applications only, e.g. circuits with a low power capability, circuits supplied by nonlinear sources, circuits with protective separation from the utility supply.
NOTE 1 More information on risk assessment is provided in IEC Guide 116.
SPDs for PV applications are not covered by this document.
NOTE 2 Such SPDs for PV applications are covered by IEC 61643-31.
NOTE 3 Other exclusions based on national regulations are possible.
This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61643-01.
