This document applies to plugs, fixed or portable socket-outlets, and appliance inlets,
hereinafter referred to as accessories, with a rated operating voltage not exceeding 1 000 V DC
or 1 000 V AC with a frequency not exceeding 500 Hz and a rated current not exceeding 125 A,
primarily intended for industrial use, either indoors or outdoors.
These accessories are intended to be installed by instructed persons or skilled persons only.
NOTE 1 All references for accessories with a rated current of more than 125 A in IEC 60309-1 are not applicable
to this document.
This document applies to accessories with pins and contact-tubes of standardized
configurations.
This document applies to accessories, for use when the ambient temperature is normally within
the range −25 °C to 40 °C.
The use of these accessories on building sites and for agricultural, commercial and domestic
applications is not precluded.
This document applies to accessories with screwless-type terminals or insulation piercing
terminals, with a rated current up to and including 32 A for series I and 30 A for series II.
Socket-outlets or appliance inlets incorporated in or fixed to electrical equipment are within the
scope of this document. This document also applies to accessories intended to be used in
extra-low voltage installations.
NOTE 2 This document does not apply to accessories primarily intended for domestic and similar general purposes.
In locations where special conditions prevail, for example on board ship or where explosions
are liable to occur, additional requirements can be necessary.

IEC 60309-2:2021 applies to plugs, fixed or portable socket-outlets, and appliance inlets, hereinafter referred to as accessories, with a rated operating voltage not exceeding 1 000 V DC or 1 000 V AC with a frequency not exceeding 500 Hz and a rated current not exceeding 125 A, primarily intended for industrial use, either indoors or outdoors. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1999, Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:  addition of requirements and test for non-solid pins; additional rating IPX9; additional marking to indicate neutral terminal and/or earthing terminal.  This document is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60309-1:2021.

This part of IEC 60079 specifies the construction and testing of intrinsically safe apparatus intended for use in an explosive atmosphere, and for associated apparatus which is intended for connection to intrinsically safe circuits which enter such atmospheres. This Type of Protection is applicable to electrical equipment in which the electrical circuits themselves are incapable of causing ignition of a surrounding explosive atmosphere. This includes electrical equipment which contains circuits that are intrinsically safe only under certain conditions, for example under battery supply with mains supply removed. This standard is also applicable to electrical equipment or parts of electrical equipment located outside the explosive atmosphere or protected by another Type of Protection listed in IEC 60079-0, where the intrinsic safety of the electrical circuits in the explosive atmosphere may depend upon the design and construction of such electrical equipment or parts of such electrical equipment. The electrical circuits exposed to the explosive atmosphere are assessed for use in such an atmosphere by applying this standard. This standard applies to sensors connected to intrinsically safe circuits but does not apply to the protection of catalytic elements for Group IIC or Group IIB + H2. The requirements for intrinsically safe systems are provided in IEC 60079-25. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0, except as indicated in Table 1. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. Unless otherwise stated, the requirements in this standard are applicable to both intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus, and the generic term "apparatus" is used throughout the standard. As this standard applies only to electrical equipment, the term "equipment" used in the standard always means “electrical equipment”. This standard applies to apparatus for use under the atmospheric conditions of IEC 60079-0 with additional requirements for for use at lower atmospheric pressures in the range from 60 kPa (0,6 bar), up to 110 kPa (1,1 bar).
