Foreword
All technical contents of this Part of GB 2099 are compulsory.
GB 2099 refers to the series standards on plugs and socket-outlets for household and
similar purposes and includes the following parts.
Part 1. General Requirements (GB 2099.1)
Part 2. Particular Requirements (GB 2099.2~2099.7)
— Particular Requirements for Fused Plugs
— Particular Requirements for Socket-outlets for Appliances
— Particular Requirements for Switched Socket-outlets without Interlock for Fixed
Installations
— Particular Requirements for Safe Extra-low Voltage Plugs and Socket-outlets
— Particular Requirements for Adaptors
— Particular Requirements for Switched Socket-outlets with Interlock for Fixed
Installations
This Part is Part 1 of GB 2099 and is modified in relation to Plugs and Socket-outlets for
Household and Similar Purposes – Part 1. General Requirements (IEC 60884-1.2006; Edition
3.1). The main differences between this Part and IEC 60884-1.2006 are as follows.
1. Temperature of operating environment
In Chapter 1 of IEC 60884-1.2006, it specifies "The plugs mentioned in this standard as
well as fixed or mobile sockets are usually used in 25°C ambient temperature or below,
occasionally 35°C." Considering the geographic location of China and the distribution of
actual ambient temperature under natural climate, the mean annual temperature, highest
temperature and humidity are high at the humid subtropics and humid tropics south of the
Yangtze River. Thus, this Part changed the temperature of operating environment into. "The
plugs mentioned in this standard as well as fixed or mobile sockets are usually used in 35°C
ambient temperature or below, occasionally 40°C."
2. Additional test of elastic material
In Chapter 9 and 10 of IEC 60884-1.2006, it specifies that additional tests shall be
carried out for electric accessories of thermoplastic material or elastic material at (35±2)°C
ambient temperature. Considering the harsh temperature of operating environment in China as
well as the temperature requirements of operating environment specified in Chapter 1,
"(35±2)°C" was changed into "(40±2)°C".
3. Humid heat test
In 16.3 of IEC 60884-1.2006, it specifies "the air temperature (of humidity cabinet) shall
maintain at any convenient value t±1K between 20°C~30°C. Before placing samples into the
humidity cabinet, the temperature of samples shall reach t~(t+4)°C." Considering the humid
tropical climate of some regions in China as well as the fact that humid heat test is performed
for electric and electronic products in China at (40±2)°C, this Part specifies "the air
temperature at the position where samples are placed shall maintain at (40±2)°C. Before
placing samples into the humidity cabinet, the temperature of samples shall reach such
temperature. "Such requirement keeps consistent with the harsh level specified in "Basic
Environmental Testing Procedures for Electric and Electronic Products - Test Db. Damp Heat,
Cyclic" (GB/T 2423.4) which is modified in relation to IEC 60068-2-30."
4. Rated current
Given that Grade 25A rated current is available in household three-phase plug and socket
system in China, relevant requirements for electric accessories of 25A rated current were
added in this Part compared with IEC 60884-1.2006.
5. Applicability of flat pin type
Since flat pin system is adopted in household plug and socket system in China, special
inspection requirements were added in this Part (compared with IEC 60884-1.2006) for such
system in Chapter 9 - Dimension Inspection, 24.2, 24.10 and Figure 30; the gauge tolerance
for dimension inspection was modified.
6. Notes
The notes in IEC 60884-1.2006 which are inconsistent with or inapplicable to China's
actual situation was deleted or processed in this Part.
This Part replaces "Plugs and Socket-outlets for Household and Similar Purposes - Part 1.
General Requirements" (GB 2099.1-1996).
The main changes between this Part and GB 2099.1-1996 are as follows.
1) A general description for test stated in Chapter 5 was modified and the provision that
routine test shall be carried out was added (see 5.1, 5.2 and 5.6).
2) In the optimal combination of type and rated value, 130V rated voltage as well as
2.5A and 25A rated currents were added (See Table 1).
3) The requirements of sockets with designated purpose classification were added (see
7.2.5 and 11.6).
4) The requirements of protective earthing symbol, type and IP code were modified
(see 8.2, 8.3...
