Overview
IEC 61084-2-4:2017/AMD1:2024 is the first amendment to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard for cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems for electrical installations - Part 2-4: Particular requirements - Service poles and service posts. This amendment was developed by IEC technical committee 23, subcommittee 23A, which oversees cable management systems. The updated standard introduces changes to normative references, test methods, and specific requirements that support the safety, reliability, and international harmonization of service poles and service posts used in electrical installations.
Key Topics
- Updated Normative References: The amendment updates references to key ISO standards for the determination of water absorptiveness and grammage for paper and board materials:
- ISO 535:2023 for the Cobb method
- ISO 536:2019 for grammage
- Test Conditions and Methods: Adjustments include:
- The deletion of a specific subclause (5.1) in the general conditions for tests
- Clarifications in construction and mechanical test procedures
- Revisions to the impact and linear deflection tests to emphasize electrical safety when inspecting for internal cracks and sharp edges that may affect insulated conductors or cables
- Fire Hazard Evaluation: Text related to fire hazard tests using specific burners has been amended.
- Routine Testing for Pre-Wired Products: Amendments clarify routine test requirements for service poles and posts:
- Improved guidance on verifying correct earth connections in pre-wired service poles and posts to ensure protection against electric shock.
Applications
The amendments in IEC 61084-2-4:2017/AMD1:2024 have practical implications for various stakeholders in the electrical installation industry:
- Manufacturers: Must update their design, production, and quality control processes for service poles and service posts to comply with the latest testing and construction requirements, especially regarding material properties and electrical safety.
- Testing and Certification Bodies: Should apply the updated references, test conditions, and verification procedures during conformity assessments and product approvals.
- Installers and Electrical Engineers: Can rely on the revised standard to ensure installed service poles and service posts are robust, safe, and compliant with the most current international guidelines.
- Product Designers: Need to integrate updated fire hazard and mechanical property requirements into the development of new cable management systems.
Implementing this amendment enhances product safety, supports compatibility across international markets, and helps prevent electrical hazards such as fire or electric shock in commercial and industrial environments.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 61084-2-4:2017 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable
management systems, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
