AS/NZS 60669.1:2020 pdf free.Switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations Part 1: General requirements (IEC 60669-1:2017 (ED. 4.0)/COR1: 2020, MOD).
7.7 according to the method of installation, as a consequence of the design of the switch:
— switches where the cover or cover plate can be removed without displacement of the conductors (design A);
— switches where the cover or cover plate cannot be removed without displacement of the conductors (design B).
NOTE If a switch has a base which cannot be separated from the cover or cover plate, and requires a supplementary plate to meet the standard, which can be removed for redecorating the wall without displacement of the conductors, it is considered to be of design A, provided the supplementary plate meets the requirements specified for covers and cover plates.
7.8 according to the type of terminal:
— switches with screw-type terminals;
— switches with screwless-type terminals.
7.9 according to the suitability to accept conductors:
— switches with terminals for rigid conductors only;
— switches with terminals for rigid and flexible conductors.
NOTE 1 In the following country, switches with terminals for rigid conductors only are not allowed: ES, IN and IT.
NOTE 2 In the following countries, switches with screw terminals for rigid conductors only are not allowed: DE,
DK, IN and ZA.
8 Marking
8.1 General
Switches shall be marked with
a) rated current(s)
— in amperes (A) if the switch is tested according to 19.1 only
— in amperes (A) if the switch is tested according to 19.1 and 19.3 only or
— in amperes (AX) if the switch is tested according to 19.1, 19.2 and 19.3 when the rated currents in amperes (A) and (AX) are equal or
— in amperes (A and AX) if the switch is tested according to 19.1, 19.2 and 19.3 when the rated currents in amperes (A) and (AX) are not equal;
b) rated voltage(s) in volts;
c) symbol for nature of supply;
d) manufacturer’s or responsible vendor’s name, trade mark or identification mark;
e) type reference, which may be a catalogue number;
f) symbol for switches of mini-gap construction, if applicable;
g) symbol for switches of micro-gap construction, if applicable;
h) symbol for switches without contact gap (semiconductor switching device), if applicable;
i) first characteristic numeral for the degree of protection against access to hazardous parts and against harmful effects due to ingress of solid foreign objects, if declared to be higher than 4 in which case the second characteristic numeral shall also be marked;
j) second characteristic numeral for the degree of protection against harmful effects due to ingress of water, if declared to be higher than 2 in which case the first characteristic numeral shall also be marked;
k) length of insulation to be removed before the insertion of the conductor into the screwlesstype terminal;
I) symbol for the suitability to accept rigid conductors only.AS/NZS 60669.1 pdf download.
