1. Scope of application
This Rules applies to connecting devices as separate units for household and
similar purposes. The AC rated voltage of these connecting devices shall not
exceed 1000V. The frequency is not greater than 1000Hz. The DC rated voltage
shall not exceed 1500V. It shall be able to connect two or more hard copper
wires (solid or stranded) or soft copper wires with a cross-sectional area of
0.2mm2~35mm2 (including 35mm2) or corresponding AWG wire gauge
electrically. These hard or soft copper wires shall meet the requirements of
GB/T 3956-2008 or GB/T 18213-2000.
The products include:
a. Connecting devices with threaded clamps
b. Connecting devices with threadless clamps
c. Connecting devices with piercing insulation clamps
d. Twist connecting devices
e. Connecting boxes and enclosures (this part applies to connecting boxes
that are terminated and/or tapped)
NOTE: This Rules does not apply to products with separate flat quick-connect terminals.
2. Certification mode
CQC safety certification mode for connecting devices for household and similar
purposes is:
Mode 1: Type test + initial factory inspection + after-certification supervision
The basic steps of certification include:
a. Certification application.
b. Type test.
c. Initial factory inspection.
d. Evaluation and approval of certification results.
e. After-certification supervision.
Mode 2: Type test + after-certification supervision
The basic steps of certification include:
a. Certification application.
b. Type test.
c. Evaluation and approval of certification results.
d. After-certification supervision.
For manufacturers holding product certification certificates issued by CQC
(such as safety certification, energy-saving certification), Mode 2 can be used
for certification. Other manufacturers shall adopt Mode 1.
3. Certification application
3.1 Division of certification units
In principle, carry out certification unit division according to the type, structure,
material, rated connection capacity, rated insulation voltage, protection against
electric shock, maximum operating ambient temperature, protection against
water and solid matter ingress of clamps for connecting devices.
The connecting devices, of which the type, structure, material, protection
against electric shock, maximum operating ambient temperature, protection
against water and solid objects entering the clamps of the connecting device
are the same but the rated connection capacity and rated insulation voltage are
different, can be divided as the same unit.
Products from different production sites are regarded as different application
units. Products from different manufacturers are considered as different
application units. The type test of products with the same specification and
model can be carried out on samples from one factory.
3.2 Materials submitted for certification application
3.2.1 Application materials
a. Formal application form (print after filling in the application form online or
download a blank application form and fill in).
b. Factory inspection questionnaire (when applying for the first time).
c. Description of connecting devices for household and similar purposes
(CQC11-462195.01-2011).
3.2.2 Proof materials
4) 51~114 twisted connecting devices, and 27~72 coverage samples (the
specific quantity depends on the sample situation, and the sample is sent
according to the requirements of Table 101 in the standard);
5) 10 connecting box and enclosure type test samples, and 3 coverage
samples;
6) For connecting devices with flat quick-connect terminals, on the basis of
meeting the sample submission requirements in Articles 1~5, additional
samples containing at least 12 integral blade terminals shall be sent.
4.1.3 Disposal of samples and materials
After the test is completed and the test report is issued, the relevant materials
are kept by the testing agency, and the samples are disposed of in accordance
with the relevant CQC regulations.
4.2 Type test
4.2.1 Standards
GB/T 13140.1-2008 "Connecting devices for low-voltage circuits for household
and similar purposes - Part 1: General requirements"

and similar purposes - Part 2: Particular requirements for connecting devices
as separate entities with screwless-type clamping units"
GB/T 13140.4-2008 "Connecting devices for low voltage circuits for household
and similar purposes - Part 2: Particular requirements for connecting devices
as separate entities with insulation piercing clamping units"
GB/T 13140.5-2008 "Connecting devices for low-voltage circuits for household
and similar purposes - Part 2: Particular requirements for twist-on connecting
devices"
GB/T 17466.1-2019 "Boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories for
household and similar fixed electrical installations - Part 1: General
requirements"
GB/T 17466.22-2022 "Boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories for
household and similar fixed electrical installations - Part 22: Particular
requirements for connecting boxes and enclosures"
GB/T 17196-2017 "Connecting devices - Flat quick-connect terminations for
electrical copper conductors - Safety requirements"
4.2.2 Test items and requirements
The product inspection items are all applicable items specified in the standards
listed in 4.2.1. For connecting devices with flat quick-connect terminals,
relevant items shall be tested for integral inserts according to GB/T 17196-2017.
4.2.3 Test methods
Inspect according to the testing methods and/or standards stipulated and/or
quoted in the standards listed in 4.2.1.
4.2.4 Time limit of type test
Generally, it is 30 working days, counting from receipt of samples and
completion of confirmation. The time for rectification and re-inspection due to
failed test items is not included in the calculation.
4.2.5 Determination
The type test shall meet the requirements of product standards. When some of
the type test items fail, the applicant is allowed to make rectification. The
rectification shall be completed within the time limit specified by the certification
body (calculated from the date of notification of failure of the type test). If the
rectification is not completed on time, the applicant shall be deemed to have
given up the application. The applicant may also terminate the application
voluntarily.
