IEC 61995-2:2025, which is used in conjunction with IEC 61995‑1:2025, applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) 250 V AC, 6 A intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires. It defines an interface design as specified in the given standard sheets.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009 and Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) technical requirements related to the force required to withdraw the plug have been moved to IEC 61995-1;
b) alignment with new edition of IEC 61995-1.

IEC 61995-1:2025 applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires of class I or class II to final circuits rated at not more than 16 A without mechanical support for the luminaires incorporated in the plug/outlet interface. The DCL retention mechanisms are not intended to support the weight of the luminaires.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005 and Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) additional requirements and tests for additional suspension means;
b) additional requirements and tests for additional functions;
c) additional requirements and tests for floating type DCLs;
d) introduction of insulation piercing terminals (IPT);
e) additional classification according to the connection capacities of the DCL outlet terminals;
f) modification of maximum withdrawal force for plugs with enabled locking means;
g) improvements of temperature rise tests.

IEC 61995-2:2009 which is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61995-1, applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) 250 V, 6 A a.c. intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection to final circuits rated not more than 16 A, without providing mechanical support for the luminaire.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61995-1:2005.

IEC 61995-1:2005 applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires to final circuits rated at not more than 16 A without providing mechanical support for the luminaire. DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating per IEC 60529.
