Proposes the adoption of IEC 1238-1:1993 as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard to provide test methods and requirements for two broad classes of connectors suitable for copper conductors of 10 mm(sup)2 and greater and aluminium conductors of 16 mm(sup)2 and greater. Class A connectors are intended for circuits which can be subjected to short circuits of relatively high duration and intensity. Class B connectors are intended for networks in which overloads or short circuits are restricted by protective devices. Copies of IEC 1238-1:1993 may be purchased from or viewed at any Standards Australia office.
