1 Scope
This document 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.
DCL plugs and outlets have a rated current of 6 A.
DCL outlets have an earthing contact.
The rated voltage is 250 V at 50 Hz.
DCLs with additional suspension means are limited to a maximum mass of 5 kg.
DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient temperatures
not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does not exceed + 35 °C,
with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C.
DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating as specified in
