IS 18830 : 2024 Cord Extension Sets - Specifications (IEC 60884-2-7 : 2011 + AMD 1 : 2013, MOD)
1 SCOPE
This clause of IS 1293 is replaced by the following: This standard applies to cord extension sets, rewireable, non-rewireable and integrated, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage greater than 50 V but not exceeding 250 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, intended for household and similar purposes, either indoors or outdoors.
This standard does not apply to cord extension sets with means for reeling.
This standard also applies to cord extension sets which are intended to be used in a cable reel, and which therefore become cable reels with a detachable flexible cable. For the combination of the cord extension set, the reel requirements and tests of IS 15368 have to be fulfilled in addition.
Cord extension sets are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding + 45 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does not exceed + 40 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of – 5 °C.
