Overview
prEN IEC 63418:2025/prAA:2025 is a CLC draft amendment covering fixed accessories intended for household and similar purposes that supply power through an interface. Published as a CENELEC enquiry document (draft amendment prAA), it updates the European deliverable to address safety, interoperability and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations for fixed accessories-such as built-in socket outlets, couplers and interface-enabled power outlets-that provide power via interfaces (including modern interfaces like USB Power Delivery and Type‑C). The draft is prepared by CLC/TC 23BX and is issued for review and national adoption procedures.
Key topics and technical scope
This draft amendment references and aligns with many established international standards; the technical topics implicitly covered include:
- Electrical safety and connection requirements for plugs, socket‑outlets and couplers used in fixed installations.
- Interface power delivery, including references to USB Power Delivery and USB Type‑C specifications (IEC 62680 series).
- EMC requirements and testing (immunity and emissions) to support compliance with Directive 2014/30/EU, with references to IEC 61000 and CISPR standards.
- Mechanical and environmental tests, e.g. hammer/impact tests and environmental stress (IEC 60068 series).
- Fire and flammability testing, including glow‑wire and hot‑wire methods (IEC 60695 series).
- Cable and conductor standards for PVC and rubber insulated cables and cords (IEC 60227, IEC 60245 series).
- Fusing, connecting devices and protection against tracking (IEC 60127 miniature fuses, IEC 60112 comparative tracking).
- Degree of protection (IP code) for enclosures (IEC 60529) and graphical marking conventions (IEC 60417).
Practical applications
- Ensures safe and interoperable design of fixed power outlets with integrated interfaces used in homes, offices, hotels and similar buildings.
- Guides manufacturers integrating USB PD or other interface power delivery into fixed fixtures (e.g., wall outlets with USB‑C).
- Informs test laboratories performing safety, EMC and environmental verification for fixed accessories.
- Supports product compliance documentation used for CE marking and national standard adoption.
Who should use this standard
- Product designers and manufacturers of fixed electrical accessories and built‑in socket‑outlets
- Laboratory and compliance engineers (safety, EMC, environmental testing)
- Regulatory and procurement teams specifying compliant building installations
- Standardization experts and national committees reviewing the draft amendment
Related standards (examples)
The draft cites numerous normative references that implement key requirements and test methods, including IEC 62680 (USB PD/Type‑C), IEC 61000 (EMC), IEC 60695 (glow‑wire), IEC 60529 (IP code), IEC 60227/60245 (cables) and IEC 60127 (miniature fuses).
