Overview

IEC 62683-1:2026 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that establishes a reference dictionary for describing low-voltage switchgear, controlgear, and their assemblies using defined properties. This standard enables efficient information exchange, particularly in electronic format, supporting manufacturers, wholesalers, and customers with standardized product data. By providing unambiguous descriptions of classes and properties, IEC 62683-1:2026 plays a vital role in streamlining the presentation, selection, and identification of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear products. This second edition supersedes the first edition (2017), representing a technical revision that aligns with updates to the IEC CDD 62683DB database.

Key Topics

  • Reference Dictionary for Product Data
    IEC 62683-1:2026 defines a standardized set of data attributes (properties) and classes for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Each property is given a clear name, definition, format, and, where applicable, a list of valid values and units.

  • Class and Property Structure
    The standard covers the general classification of device and assembly classes, supporting presentation and product identification in electronic catalogues. It introduces new device and assembly classes, and associated properties, reflecting recent industry developments.

  • Scope and Limitations

    • Focuses on low-voltage switchgear, controlgear, accessories, and assemblies.
    • Excludes manufacturer-specific features in favor of general properties applicable across the industry.
    • Not intended to establish a product class hierarchy, but rather to serve as a reference for information exchange.
  • Benefits of Standardization

    • Reduces effort and cost for data matching and catalog integration.
    • Enhances data consistency and reduces duplication in digital inventories.
    • Facilitates accurate and reliable product selection and identification.
    • Supports the growing need for electronic product catalogues and e-commerce in the electrical sector.

  • E-commerce and Online Marketplaces
    Facilitates the development of e-commerce solutions by providing a uniform language for describing and comparing products, enabling interoperability between databases and online sales tools.

  • Product Selection and Identification
    Assists engineers, specifiers, and buyers in reliably analyzing, comparing, and selecting low-voltage electrical equipment based on standardized, objective data.

  • Environmental Declarations
    Supports the inclusion of product data relevant to environmental considerations, such as material declarations or lifecycle information, enhancing sustainability reporting.

Related Standards

IEC 62683-1:2026 is closely tied to several other key IEC standards and resources for product data and industrial automation:

  • IEC 61360 - Standard for component data dictionaries, providing the foundation for the attribute structure used in IEC 62683-1.
  • IEC CDD 62683DB - The online component data dictionary database housing up-to-date device and assembly classes and properties.
  • IEC 60947 series - Product standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, referenced for device definitions.
  • Other parts of IEC 62683 - Cover specialized aspects and further develop the data model for electrical products.

By harmonizing with these standards and databases, IEC 62683-1:2026 ensures that product data for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear is consistent, interoperable, and ready for the digital era.

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.

INTRODUCTION
Mainly large customers and wholesalers are requesting standardized product descriptions and
product properties to product manufacturers. However, all stakeholders will can benefit from
this standardised presentation and data exchange.
Multiple associations or groups of actors launched different initiatives to try to respond to this
demand but, due to the lack of standardisation of classes and properties, the situation remains
unsatisfactory for both customers and manufacturers.
In order to keep the lead of product description, IEC proposes a consistent solution within its
product standards.
The purpose of this document is to:
– define device classes and properties for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their
assemblies in a dedicated standard,
– provide a basis for introduction of classes of the low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
classes and their assemblies, and properties introduced into the IEC 61360 database
maintained by IEC/SC3D (see http://std.iec.ch/iec61360).
This document is not intended to establish a hierarchy of product classes called classification.
The intended benefits of this document are to:
– reduce the costs, time and efforts of mapping data for each customer request;
– optimize the workflow of B2B exchanges;
– minimize duplication of articles in customer inventories and in databases;
– minimize losses and misinterpretation of data during exchanges;
– facilitate the selection of a product, especially regarding reliability and safety;
– give access to product data everywhere regardless of country, language and culture;
– provide product data related to environmental aspects such as material declaration;
– contribute to the fast growth of the e-business by simplifying the development of:
• e-Catalogue allowing the differentiation of products performances, certificates, etc;
• e-Commerce: use of electronic networks to exchange information, products, services
and payments for commercial and communication purposes between individuals
(consumers) and businesses, between businesses themselves.
The output of this document consists of:
– reference dictionary of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies using
existing terms from IEC documents. However, terminology used in e-business may can be
relevant for the purpose of naming classes in this document to get a high level of
acceptance;
– properties for e-commerce purposes, conformity of properties with product standards being
the main goal of this document.
NOTE The classes "under consideration" are for information only and are intended to be completed during the next
maintenance cycle.
For this project, the introductionThe description of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and
their assemblies within the IEC 61360 database needs to address addresses the following
technical aspects:
– IEC 61360 requires mandatory attributes. The complete set of mandatory attributes with
additional relevant attributes for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear will be available
within the IEC 61360 database. At the development stage, the CDD 62683 database is
available at the following address: https://cdd.iec.ch/cdd/iec62683/iec62683.nsf.
The complete sets of attributes for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their
assemblies are available in the IEC 62683DB domain at
https://cdd.iec.ch/cdd/iec62683/iec62683.nsf/TreeFrameset?OpenFrameSet. Within the
present document, only the most useful attributes are presented.
– The switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies data models are implemented in an
appropriate the IEC 62683DB domain of the IEC Component Data Dictionary (CDD),
IEC 61360, by creating dictionaries of blocks, classes and properties.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62683 establishes the reference dictionary of the general description of classes
of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear classes and their assemblies based on defined
properties.
This dictionary is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing
low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, their accessories and their assemblies.
This document provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties
and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products
particularly in electronic catalogues.
Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and naming name, and where relevant,
a defined value list, a defined format, and a defined unit.
The intention is not to cover manufacturer-specific features.
Manufacturer specific features are not covered.

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

INTRODUCTION
Mainly large customers and wholesalers are requesting standardized product descriptions and
product properties to product manufacturers. However, all stakeholders can benefit from this
standardised presentation and data exchange.
Multiple associations or groups of actors launched different initiatives to try to respond to this
demand but, due to the lack of standardisation of classes and properties, the situation remains
unsatisfactory for both customers and manufacturers.
In order to keep the lead of product description, IEC proposes a consistent solution within its
product standards.
The purpose of this document is to:
– define device classes and properties for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their
assemblies in a dedicated standard,
– provide a basis of classes of the low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their
assemblies, and properties introduced into the IEC 61360 database maintained by
IEC/SC3D (see http://std.iec.ch/iec61360).
This document is not intended to establish a hierarchy of product classes called classification.
The intended benefits of this document are to:
– reduce the costs, time and efforts of mapping data for each customer request;
– optimize the workflow of B2B exchanges;
– minimize duplication of articles in customer inventories and in databases;
– minimize losses and misinterpretation of data during exchanges;
– facilitate the selection of a product, especially regarding reliability and safety;
– give access to product data everywhere regardless of country, language and culture;
– provide product data related to environmental aspects such as material declaration;
– contribute to the fast growth of the e-business by simplifying the development of:
• e-Catalogue allowing the differentiation of products performances, certificates, etc;
• e-Commerce: use of electronic networks to exchange information, products, services
and payments for commercial and communication purposes between individuals
(consumers) and businesses, between businesses themselves.
The output of this document consists of:
– reference dictionary of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies using
existing terms from IEC documents. However, terminology used in e-business can be
relevant for the purpose of naming classes in this document to get a high level of
acceptance;
– properties for e-commerce purposes, conformity of properties with product standards being
the main goal of this document.
NOTE The classes "under consideration" are for information only and are intended to be completed during the next
maintenance cycle.
The description of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies within the
IEC 61360 database addresses the following technical aspects:
– IEC 61360 requires mandatory attributes. The complete sets of attributes for low-voltage
switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies are available in the IEC 62683DB domain
at https://cdd.iec.ch/cdd/iec62683/iec62683.nsf/TreeFrameset?OpenFrameSet. Within the
present document, only the most useful attributes are presented.
– The switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies data models are implemented in the
IEC 62683DB domain of the IEC Component Data Dictionary (CDD), by creating dictionaries
of blocks, classes and properties.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62683 establishes the reference dictionary of the general description of classes
of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies based on defined properties.
This dictionary is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing
low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, their accessories and their assemblies.
This document provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties
and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products
particularly in electronic catalogues.
Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and name, and where relevant, a defined
value list, a defined format, and a defined unit.
Manufacturer specific features are not covered.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Électrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L'IEC a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l'IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l'IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L'IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du
possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l'IEC intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d'études.
3) Les Publications de l'IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l'IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l'IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l'IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l'IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l'IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L'IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l'IEC. L'IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l'IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou mandataires,
y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités nationaux de l'IEC,
pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre dommage de quelque
nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais de justice) et les dépenses
découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de l'IEC ou de toute autre Publication de l'IEC,
ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L'IEC attire l'attention sur le fait que la mise en application du présent document peut entraîner l'utilisation d'un
ou de plusieurs brevets. L'IEC ne prend pas position quant à la preuve, à la validité et à l'applicabilité de tout
droit de brevet revendiqué à cet égard. À la date de publication du présent document, l'IEC n'avait pas reçu
notification qu'un ou plusieurs brevets pouvaient être nécessaires à sa mise en application. Toutefois, il y a lieu
d'avertir les responsables de la mise en application du présent document que des informations plus récentes
sont susceptibles de figurer dans la base de données de brevets, disponible à l'adresse https://patents.iec.ch.
L'IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de brevets.
L'IEC 62683-1 a été établie par le comité d'études 121: Appareillages et ensembles

INTRODUCTION
Ce sont principalement les clients importants et les grossistes qui demandent aux fabricants de
produits des descriptions et propriétés de produits normalisées. Toutes les parties prenantes
peuvent cependant tirer profit de cette présentation et de cet échange de données normalisés.
Plusieurs groupes et associations ont lancé différentes initiatives pour tenter de répondre à
cette demande, mais en raison de l'absence de normalisation des classes et des propriétés, la
situation demeure insatisfaisante pour les clients et les fabricants.
Afin de continuer à montrer la voie en matière de description de produits, l'IEC propose une
solution cohérente parmi ses normes de produits.
Le présent document a pour objet de:
– définir les classes et les propriétés de dispositifs pour les appareillages et ensembles
d'appareillage à basse tension dans une norme spécifique;
– proposer une base pour les classes et les propriétés des appareillages et ensembles
d'appareillage à basse tension, qui seront ajoutées à la base de données IEC 61360 tenue
à jour par le SC 3D de l'IEC (voir http://std.iec.ch/iec61360).
Le présent document n'est pas destiné à établir une hiérarchie de classes de produits appelée
"classification".
Les bénéfices attendus du présent document sont les suivants:
– réduire les coûts, le temps et le travail nécessaires pour mettre en correspondance les
données pour chaque demande client;
– optimiser le flux des échanges interentreprises;
– réduire le plus possible la duplication d'articles dans les inventaires des clients et les bases
de données;
– réduire le plus possible les pertes et les mauvaises interprétations de données durant les
échanges;
– faciliter la sélection d'un produit, en particulier du point de vue de la fiabilité et de la sécurité;
– donner accès aux données de produits à tout le monde, indépendamment du pays, de la
langue et de la culture;
– fournir des données de produits relatives aux aspects environnementaux, comme la
déclaration de matières;
– contribuer à la croissance rapide des activités professionnelles en ligne en simplifiant le
développement:
• des catalogues électroniques permettant de différencier les performances des produits,
les certificats, etc.;
• du commerce électronique, avec l'utilisation de réseaux électroniques pour échanger
des informations, des produits, des services et des règlements, à des fins commerciales
et de communication entre les personnes (consommateurs) et les entreprises, et entre
les entreprises elles-mêmes.
Le présent document est constitué des éléments suivants:
– un dictionnaire de référence des appareillages et ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension,
qui utilise des termes existants issus de documents de l'IEC. La terminologie employée dans
les activités professionnelles en ligne peut toutefois se révéler adaptée pour dénommer les
classes du présent document afin de faciliter leur acceptation;
– des propriétés destinées au commerce électronique, le principal objectif du présent
document étant que les propriétés soient conformes aux normes de produits.
NOTE Les classes notées "à l'étude" sont données seulement à titre d'information et seront complétées lors des
prochaines révisions du document.
La description des appareillages et ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension dans la base de
données IEC 61360 couvre les aspects techniques suivants:
– L'IEC 61360 exige des attributs obligatoires. Les ensembles complets d'attributs pour les
appareillages et ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension sont disponibles dans le
domaine IEC 62683DB, à
l'adresse https://cdd.iec.ch/cdd/iec62683/iec62683.nsf/TreeFrameset?OpenFrameSet.
Seuls les attributs les plus utiles sont décrits dans le présent document.
– Les modèles de données des appareillages et ensembles d'appareillage sont mis en œuvre
dans le domaine IEC 62683DB du dictionnaire de données de l'IEC concernant les
composants (IEC CDD), avec la création de dictionnaires de blocs, de classes et de
propriétés.
1 Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l'IEC 62683 définit le dictionnaire de référence pour la description
générale des classes d'appareillages et ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension à partir de
propriétés définies.
Ce dictionnaire est utilisé pour faciliter l'échange, au format électronique, de données décrivant
les appareillages, accessoires et ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension.
Le présent document propose des définitions claires et sans équivoque pour un certain nombre
de propriétés et de classes principalement destinées à la présentation, à la sélection et à
l'identification de produits, en particulier dans les catalogues électroniques.
Chaque propriété a une signification et un nom définis de manière univoque et, le cas échéant,
une liste de valeurs définie, un format défini et une unité définie.
Les fonctions spécifiques aux fabricants ne sont pas traitées.
