IEC 62683-1:2026 establishes the reference dictionary of the general description of classes of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies based on defined properties. This dictionary is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing low voltage switchgear and controlgear, their accessories and their assemblies. This document provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products particularly in electronic catalogues. Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and name, and where relevant, a defined value list, a defined format, and a defined unit. Manufacturer specific features are not covered. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition for reflecting the content of the IEC CDD 62683DB which has been updated with the change requests C00073, C00074, C00081, C00087, C00089, C00098, C00100, C00107, C00111, C00116, C00119, C00122, C00146, C00148, C00159, C00167, C00174 and C00135:
