Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) (First Revision) which is identical with IEC 60898-2 : 2016 ‘Electrical accessories - Circuit-breakers for overcurrent protection for household and similar installations - Part 2: Circuit-breakers for a.c. and d.c. operation’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.

Requirements for ‘Circuit Breakers for over current protection for household and similar installations’ were earlier covered under IS 8828 : 1996. IS 8828 was superseded by IS/IEC 60898-2 : 2003 in the year 2007. This revision of IS/IEC 60898-2 : 2003 has been undertaken to align this standard with the latest international practices.
