Overview
IEC 61084-2-4:2017/AMD1:2024 is the latest amendment to the international standard governing cable trunking and ducting systems used in electrical installations, specifically addressing service poles and service posts. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates particular requirements to enhance safety, performance, and consistency in cable management systems. The document ensures that electrical installations meet stringent international quality guidelines and comply with the evolving technical and safety demands for service poles and posts.
Key Topics
- Scope of Amendment: Focuses on the particular requirements relevant to cable trunking systems integrated into service poles and posts used for electrical installations.
- Updated Normative References: Incorporates the latest ISO standards for testing paper and board materials relevant to the product construction, specifically:
- ISO 535:2023 (water absorptiveness – Cobb method)
- ISO 536:2019 (grammage determination)
- Mechanical Property Requirements:
- Revised impact tests emphasize verifying no internal cracks that could compromise electrical safety.
- Ensures structural integrity against mechanical stresses by clearly defining testing procedures for installation use cases.
- Fire Safety Enhancements:
- Clarifications and updates in test methods regarding fire spread to ensure compliance with safer installation environments.
- Routine Testing for Pre-wired Units:
- Adds specific checks for correct polarity and earth connection to mitigate electric shock risks in socket outlets integrated into service poles and posts.
- Standardization and Compliance:
- Assurance that IEC National Committees adopt uniform practices in applying this amendment.
- Clear guidelines for certification bodies to verify conformity according to updated standards.
Applications
IEC 61084-2-4:2017/AMD1:2024 serves as a critical reference for manufacturers, engineers, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, production, installation, and inspection of electrical cable management systems embedded in service poles and posts. Applications include:
- Public Infrastructure: Street lighting, traffic signals, and public service terminal installations requiring secure and compliant cable management.
- Industrial Sites: Power distribution points equipped with cable trunking systems for safety and maintenance efficiency.
- Residential and Commercial Buildings: Service posts managing cable runs in external environments with robust mechanical and fire safety features.
- Pre-wired Electrical Assemblies: Verification of socket outlets wiring ensuring correct polarity and earth connection to prevent user hazards.
This amendment enhances safety and reliability in installations subject to mechanical impacts, harsh weather, and fire risks, supporting long-term durability and electrical safety compliance.
Related Standards
- IEC 61084 Series: The main body of standards covering cable trunking and ducting systems for electrical installations, including general requirements and other specific parts.
- IEC 60695 Series: Fire hazard testing standards referenced for ensuring the spread of fire is controlled within cable management components.
- ISO 535 & ISO 536: Material testing standards for paper and board, relevant due to their application in component testing during product certification.
- IEC Technical Committee 23: The committee responsible for electrical accessories and cable management systems where this amendment was developed.
By aligning with IEC 61084-2-4:2017/AMD1:2024, stakeholders benefit from improved international uniformity, enhanced safety metrics, and clearer mechanical and fire safety testing protocols for electrical cable systems in service poles and posts. This fosters safer electrical infrastructure and consistent quality control worldwide.

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 61084-2-4:2017 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable
management systems, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
