This part of the IEC61084 series specifies requirements and tests for cable trunking systems (CTS) and cable ducting systems (CDS) intended for the accommodation, and where necessary for the electrically protective separation, of insulated conductors, cables and possibly other electrical equipment in electrical and/or communication systems installations. The maximum voltage of these installations is 1000V AC and 1500V DC Service poles and service posts are intended to be mounted in free space and in contact with mounting surface(s) only at one or two ends, where the word “mounted” means fixed or placed on the floor with a weighted base or linked to a mounting surface through a flexible component. NOTE Service poles and service posts can also be part of a CTS/CDS intended for wall or ceiling mounting covered by IEC61084‑2‑1 or floor mounting covered by IEC61084‑2‑2 and are then also tested according to said parts, as appropriate. This international standard does not apply to conduit systems, cable tray systems, cable ladder systems, powertrack systems or equipment covered by other standards.
