IEC 60884-2-6:2025 applies to switched socket-outlets with interlock for AC only, for fixed electrical installations, with or without earthing contact, with rated voltage above 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors. Switched socket-outlets with interlock according to this document consist of a combination of socket-outlets according to IEC 60884‑1, interlocked with a switch according to IEC 60669‑1 and/or IEC 60669‑2‑1 supplied as a complete accessory.
