Specifies requirements for insulation piercing clamping units primarily suitable for connecting insulated unprepared conductors for use at low voltages. It is to be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 60998-1:1997. This Standard is technically equivalent with and reproduced from IEC 60998-2-3:1991.

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:Addition:This standard applies to connecting devices with insulation piercing clamping units primarily suitable for connecting insulated unprepared conductors.In the connecting operation the insulation of the conductor is pierced, bored through, cut through, removed, displaced or made ineffective in some other manner at the point or points of contact.NOTE - In the text of this standard, connecting devices with insulation piercing clamping units are referred to as IPCD's (insulation piercing connecting devices).
