Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes - Part 2-7: Particular requirements for cord extension sets
IEC 60884-2-7:2025 EXV contains both the international standard and its extended version (EXV). This extended version of the official IEC Standard is available in English only and provides the user with a comprehensive content of the Standard. IEC 60884-2-7:2025 EXV includes the content of the references made to IEC 60884-1:2022.
IEC 60884-2-7:2025 applies to cord extension sets, rewirable and non-rewirable, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage greater than 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors. This document does not apply to cord extension sets with means for reeling. Cord extension sets intended to be used as socket-outlets for furniture are additionally covered by IEC 60884‑2‑8. This document also applies to cord extension sets which are intended to be used in a cable reel, and which therefore become cable reels with a detachable flexible cable. For the combination of the cord extension set, the reel requirements and tests of IEC 61242 apply in addition.
Cord extension sets are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average temperature over a period of 24 h does not exceed +35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011, and Amendment 1:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) alignment to IEC 60884-1, fourth edition.
