IEC 61316:1999 pdf download.Industrial cable reels
1
Scope
This International Standard applies to cable reels provided with a non-detachable flexible cable with a rated operating voltage not exceeding 690 V a.c./d.c. and 500 Hz with a rated current not exceeding 63 A, primarily intended for industrial use, either indoors or outdoors, for use with accessories complying with IEC 60309-1 or IEC 60309-2.
This standard applies to:
–portable cable reels equipped with one plug or appliance-inlet and at least one socket- outlet, each complying with IEC 60309-1 or IEC 60309-2;
–fixed cable reels equipped with at least one socket-outlet complying with IEC 60309-1 or IEC 60309-2;
–cable reels suitable for use at ambient temperature normally within the range of –25 °C to +40 °C.
The use of this equipment on construction sites and for agricultural, commercial and domestic appliances are not precluded. This standard also applies to cable reels intended to be used in extra-low voltage installations. In locations where special conditions prevail, for example, on board ships, vehicles and the like, or where explosions are liable to occur, additional requirements may be necessary.
NOTE – Additional requirements for cable reels for currents higher than 63 A are under consideration.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions apply.
NOTE – Where the terms “voltage” and “current ” are used, they imply the d.c. or a.c. r.m.s. values.
3.1 rated operating voltage
voltage assigned to the cable reel by the manufacturer
3.2 rated current
current assigned to the cable reel by the manufacturer
3.3 cable reel
device comprising a flexible cable attached to a reel, so constructed that the cable may be
wound on to a reel
NOTE – Plugs and socket-outlets and appliance inlet or connectors supplied with cable reels are considered as part of the reel.
3.3.1 portable cable reel
cable reel which can be moved easily from one place to another
3.3.2 fixed cable reel
cable reel intended for mounting on a fixed support
3.4 non-detachable flexible cable
flexible cable which is fixed to a cable reel
3.5 rewireable cable reel
cable reel so constructed that the flexible cable can be replaced with the aid of a general-
purpose tool
3.6 non-rewireable cable reel
cable reel so constructed that it forms a complete unit with the flexible cable, the plug and the
socket-outlets fixed by the manufacturer of the cable reel in such a manner that, after
dismantling, the cable reel is rendered unfit for any further purpose
3.7 accessible part
part which can be touched by means of the standard test finger
