Overview
EN 60998-2-3:2004 (CLC adoption of IEC 60998-2-3:2002) is the European supplement to EN 60998-1 that sets the particular requirements for connecting devices as separate entities with insulation‑piercing clamping units. It applies to connecting devices primarily intended for joining insulated, unprepared conductors in low‑voltage circuits for household and similar purposes. This Part 2‑3 clarifies and modifies the general requirements of Part 1 and has the status of a group safety publication under IEC Guide 104. It supersedes earlier editions (including EN 60685-2-3 (1983) and the 1993 version).
Key Topics
- Scope and application: Defines the class of connecting devices covered - standalone units that use insulation‑piercing technology to make electrical contact without prior conductor stripping.
- Compatibility with EN 60998-1: This Part 2‑3 supplements and, where specified, modifies relevant clauses in Part 1; unmodified clauses of Part 1 remain applicable.
- Functional and safety requirements: Addresses the specific performance, insulation and safety attributes needed for insulation‑piercing clamping units (mechanical integrity, electrical continuity and protection features).
- Testing and conformity: References test specifications and tables that determine conductor compatibility and mechanical/electrical performance. The standard includes CENELEC common modifications to IEC text and normative references.
- Referenced standards: Normative cross‑references include EN/IEC series for cables (e.g., IEC 60227, IEC 60245) and other electrotechnical publications relevant to conductor types and test methods.
Applications
- Manufacturers and product designers: For design validation of terminal blocks, splice connectors and junction devices that use insulation‑piercing clamps.
- Factory and third‑party testing laboratories: To assess compliance with European requirements when performing mechanical and electrical tests.
- Specifiers, procurement and compliance teams: To ensure installed or supplied connecting devices meet required safety and interoperability criteria for household and similar low‑voltage applications.
- Electrical installers and system integrators: For selecting appropriate connecting devices when working with insulated, unprepared conductors in building wiring and appliance connections.
