About This Item
IEC 60670-23:2006 defines the particular requirements for floor boxes and enclosures used with household and similar fixed electrical installations. It is relevant when engineering teams, procurement specialists, and compliance reviewers need a technical reference for evaluating how these accessories should be designed, selected, and verified in fixed wiring applications. As a primary compliance reference, IEC 60670-23:2006 supports documented evaluation, technical review, and product assessment where floor-mounted electrical accessories are part of the installation design.
Overview of IEC 60670-23:2006
This document sits within the IEC 60670 series and addresses a specific category of boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories. Its focus is the particular requirements associated with floor boxes and enclosures, which are often used to provide accessible connection points in fixed electrical installations. For engineering documentation and conformity assessment, the reference helps define the relevant technical framework for product evaluation, design review, and verification activities tied to installation safety and operational consistency.
Compliance applications of IEC 60670-23:2006
IEC 60670-23:2006 is typically used during product selection, technical validation, and conformity assessment for floor-mounted accessory enclosures in residential and similar environments. It may support procurement decisions, laboratory evaluation, and compliance workflows where the installation involves concealed or floor-level electrical distribution points. The reference is also useful for manufacturers and testing teams preparing engineering documentation, as it helps align product design review with the expected requirements for this specific class of electrical equipment.
Importance of compliance with IEC 60670-23:2006
Compliance with IEC 60670-23:2006 matters because floor boxes and enclosures must be suitable for practical installation conditions while supporting safety, reliability, and consistent performance. Using the reference during technical assessment can reduce risk in design approval, improve testing consistency, and strengthen conformity assessment preparation. It also helps organizations maintain clearer procurement specifications and quality workflows, especially when the enclosure is part of a broader electrical installation that requires documented evaluation and controlled engineering validation.
