This standard applies to connecting devices as separate entities for the connection of two or more electrical copper conductors (complying with IEC 60228 or IEC 60344) rigid (solid or stranded) or flexible, having a cross-sectional area of 0,2 mm² up to and including 35 mm² and equivalent AWG conductors with a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. up to and including 1 000 Hz and 1 500 V d.c. where electrical energy is used for household and similar purposes. Connecting devices that require the use of special tools other than for twist-on connecting devices and insulation piercing connecting devices do not comply with this standard. This standard contains general requirements to be used together with the relevant Part 2, containing detailed particular requirements for -devices with the screw-type clamping units (IEC 60998-2-1) -devices with the screwless-type clamping units (IEC 60998-2-2) -devices with the insulation piercing clamping units (IEC 60998-2-3) -devices with twist-on connecting devices (IEC 60998-2-4) -devices with connecting boxes (junction and/or tapping) (IEC 60998-2-5)
