Full title and description

IEC 61992-6:2006/COR1:2025 — Corrigendum 1 to "Railway applications — Fixed installations — DC switchgear — Part 6: DC switchgear assemblies". This one‑page corrigendum updates and corrects specific text in the 2006 edition of IEC 61992-6 and is intended to be applied together with the base standard and its amendments.

Abstract

This corrigendum (Corrigendum 1, issued May 2025) provides a formal correction to clause 8.3.8 (Electrical operation test) of IEC 61992-6:2006, replacing the ninth paragraph of that clause to clarify the required electrical operation test wording and remove an error in the published text. The corrigendum is published in English/French and is a single-page official correction to the 2006 edition.

General information

• Status: Published.
• Publication date: 14 May 2025 (Circulation/implementation date mid‑May 2025).
• Publisher: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
• ICS / categories: 45.060.01 — Railway rolling stock in general.
• Edition / version: Edition 1.0 (corrigendum to the 2006 edition).
• Number of pages: 1 page (corrigendum document).

Scope

This corrigendum corrects the published text of IEC 61992-6:2006 by replacing the ninth paragraph of clause 8.3.8 (Electrical operation test). The base standard (IEC 61992-6) covers d.c. metal‑enclosed and non‑metallic enclosed switchgear assemblies used in indoor stationary traction installations with nominal voltages not exceeding 3 000 V; the corrigendum does not change the technical scope but clarifies the test wording and intent within that clause.

Key topics and requirements

• Formal correction of clause 8.3.8 (Electrical operation test) — replacement of the ninth paragraph to correct wording or procedural detail.
• Applies as an official textual correction to IEC 61992-6:2006 and should be used alongside existing amendments (Amd.1:2014 and Amd.2:2020) where applicable.
• Does not introduce new technical requirements beyond correcting the published text; it clarifies test execution and expected results for the electrical operation test.
• Relevant to design, testing, factory acceptance and conformity assessment of DC switchgear assemblies for railway traction systems.

Typical use and users

Engineers and designers of railway DC switchgear, manufacturers of metal‑enclosed and non‑metallic enclosed DC switchgear assemblies, test laboratories performing electrical operation and factory acceptance tests, compliance managers, and railway technical committees will use this corrigendum to ensure test procedures and documented text conform to the corrected wording of IEC 61992-6. Use is normally in conjunction with the full IEC 61992-6:2006 edition and its amendments.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Corrigendum 1 (2025) to IEC 61992-6:2006 — an official one‑page correction to the 2006 international standard for DC switchgear assemblies used in railway fixed installations.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The corrigendum corrects the published wording of clause 8.3.8 (Electrical operation test). The underlying standard covers d.c. metal‑enclosed and non‑metallic enclosed switchgear assemblies for indoor stationary traction installations (nominal voltage up to 3 000 V). The corrigendum itself clarifies test wording rather than adding new technical requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test labs, railway equipment designers, conformity assessors, and railway technical committees use the corrigendum together with IEC 61992-6 to ensure correct interpretation and application of the electrical operation test.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum was published and issued in May 2025 as an official correction to the 2006 edition; it is a current published corrigendum and should be applied to IEC 61992-6:2006 and its consolidated editions. Check national and regional adopters for implementation details.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the IEC 61992 series (parts addressing DC switchgear for railway applications). It amends the Part 6 (DC switchgear assemblies) text and is used alongside earlier amendments (Amd.1:2014, Amd.2:2020) and consolidated publications.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: DC switchgear, railway fixed installations, electrical operation test, corrigendum, IEC 61992-6, traction systems, switchgear assemblies.
