Description (English):

IEC 61995-2:2025, which is used in conjunction with IEC 61995‑1:2025, applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) 250 V AC, 6 A intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires. It defines an interface design as specified in the given standard sheets. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009 and Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) technical requirements related to the force required to withdraw the plug have been moved to IEC 61995-1; b) alignment with new edition of IEC 61995-1.

Abstract

IEC 61995-2:2025 Overview

IEC 61995-2:2025 is the second edition of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard specifying devices for the connection of luminaires intended for household and similar purposes. It complements IEC 61995-1:2025 by defining the standard sheets for interface design of devices for connecting fixed luminaires operating at 250 V AC, 6 A. This standard replaces the first edition published in 2009 along with Amendment 1:2016 and introduces a technical revision aligning with the updated IEC 61995-1.

By standardizing the dimensions, retention mechanisms, and key mechanical features, IEC 61995-2 ensures interoperability and safety of devices such as DCL (Device for Connection of Luminaires) plugs and outlets. It applies to 2-pole plus earth devices designed for flush mounting in ceilings or walls to facilitate secure and easy luminaire installation.

Key Topics

Scope and Application IEC 61995-2 covers DCL connection devices (plugs and outlets) for fixed luminaires in household environments, rated at 250 V AC and 6 A. It defines the interface design via detailed standard sheets ensuring mechanical compatibility.
Standard Sheets Included
- Standard sheet 1-1: DCL Outlet (6 A, 250 V AC, 2 poles + earth)
- Standard sheet 1-2: DCL Plug (6 A, 250 V AC, 2 poles + earth)
- Standard sheet 1-3: DCL Plug (6 A, 250 V AC, 2 poles without earth)
- Standard sheet 1-4: Gauge for functional testing of the DCL plug
Technical Changes in 2025 Edition
- Withdrawal force requirements for plugs moved to IEC 61995-1
- Alignment with the latest edition of IEC 61995-1 for consistency
Mechanical Design and Testing The standard sheets specify essential to ensure secure connectivity, proper insertion, and permissible withdrawal forces.
