IEC 60799:2018 pdf download.Electrical accessories – Cord sets and interconnection cord sets
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for cord sets and interconnection cord sets for household and similar general purpose equipment. It does not apply to cord sets for industrial purposes (with plugs and connectors according to IEC 60309) nor to cord extension sets. NOTE Although electrical supply flexes provided with rewirable plugs and connectors are not cord sets in the sense of this document, but considered as being similar to cord sets and serving the same purpose, the requirements as specified in this document are also applicable to such assemblies as well as far as is reasonable.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.3.1 cord set assembly consisting of one flexible cable or cord fitted with one non-rewirable plug and one non-rewirable connector, intended for the connection of an electrical appliance or equipment to the electrical supply 3.2 interconnection cord set assembly consisting of one cable or cord fitted with one non-rewirable plug connector and one non-rewirable connector, intended for the interconnection between two electrical appliances [SOURCE: IEC 60050-442:1 998, 442-07-06, modified – “a” has been changed to “one” in two places, “flexible cable” has been replaced by “cable”, and “between two electrical appliances” replaces “of the electrical supply from one electrical appliance or equipment to another”.] 3.3 non‐rewirable accessory accessory so constructed that it forms a complete unit with flexible supply cable or cord after connection and assembly by the manufacturer of the accessory 3.4 type test test of one or more devices made to a certain design to show that the design meets certain requirements [SOURCE: IEC 60050-81 1 :1 991 , 81 1 -1 0-04, modified – In the definition, “requirements” has replaced “specifications”.] 3.5 routine test test to which each individual device is subjected during and/or after manufacture to ascertain whether it complies with certain criteria [SOURCE: IEC 60050-81 1 :1 991 , 81 1 -1 0-05, modified – In the definition, “and/or” has replaced “or”.]
4 General requirements
Cord sets and interconnection cord sets shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use their performance is reliable and without danger to the user or surroundings. Tests shall be made to prove compliance with the requirements laid down in this document, where applicable.
5 Requirements
5.1 Requirements for component parts The plug of a cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60884-1 . The connector of a cord set or an interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60320-1 . The plug connector of an interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60320-1 . The connector, with a degree of protection higher than IPX0, of a cord set or an interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60320-2-3. The plug connector, with a degree of protection higher than IPX0, of an interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60320-2-3. The cord of a cord set or interconnection cord set shall comply with the requirements of relevant IEC standards. Compliance with the requirements for plugs, connectors, plug connectors and cords is checked by the tests specified in the relevant standards. During the test of one component, the influence on the other components of the assembly is ignored.
