Introduction

Standards are developed inclusively

and consensually to set technical
specifications and quality criteria
for goods and services. As
validated commercial documents,
standards provide requirements for
creating a safe and non-discriminatory
market for manufacturers in the world.
Along with public health and safety,
national standards are the vital safe infrastructure.
The standardization system of Iran National Standards Organization
(INSO) utilizes various references for developing national standards
including the findings of research studies, the adopted international
standards such as ISO, IEC, OIML, CODEX, and the standards of the
other reputable and recognized Standard Developing Organizations. In
this regard, the Deputy Department for Development and Promotion of
Standards take the measure for translating the scope, and tables of
technical specifications of the feature-based standards into the official
language of the international standardization i.e. English as per the
policies of INSO for facilitating trade activities of merchants around the
world amid helping the implementation of standards in their
commercial exchanges with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly,
through a simple subject search, the national standards and technical
specifications of the products are available to the users and merchants.
This booklet includes the scope and technical specifications of 124
standards pertaining to the frequently traded products and services. It is
hoped that the course will lead to flourishing the commercial exchanges
aligned with achieving the goals of a powerful Iran.

Scope
This standard is replaced by the following. This standard deals with the
safety of electric washing machines for household and similar use, that
are intended for washing clothes and textiles, their rated voltage being
not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other
appliances. This standard also deals with the safety of electric washing
machines for household and similar use employing an electrolyte
instead of detergent. Additional requirements for these appliances are
given in Annex CC.

NOTE 101 Guidance is given in Annex DD for requirements that can

be used to ensure an acceptable level of protection against electrical and
thermal hazards for washing machines fitted with a power driven
wringer.Appliances not intended for normal household use but which
nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances
intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms,
are within the scope of this standard.

NOTE 102 Examples of such appliances are washing machines for

communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes.As far as is
practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
washing machines that are encountered by all persons in and around the
home. However, in general, it does not take into account:

– persons (including children) whose•physical, sensory or mental

capabilities; or•lack of experience and knowledgeprevents them from
using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;

– children playing with the appliance.

103
 NOTE 103 Attention is drawn to the fact that

–for washing machines intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships

or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary;

–in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national

health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection
of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.

NOTE 104 This standard does not apply to–washing machines intended
exclusively for industrial purposes (ISO 10472-2);

–appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions

prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere
(dust, vapour or gas);–washing machines incorporating steam
generating devices in which steam is produced at a pressure exceeding
50 kPa

Scope
This standard deals with the safety of the following appliances, their
rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances,
480 V for other appliances and 24 V DC for appliances when battery
operated:
– refrigerating appliances for household and similar use;
– ice-makers incorporating a motor-compressor and ice-makers
intended to be incorporated in frozen food storage compartments;
– refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for use in camping, touring
caravans and boats for leisure purposes.
These appliances may be operated from the mains, from a separate
battery or operated either from the mains or from a separate battery.
This standard also deals with the safety of ice-cream appliances
intended for household use, their rated voltage being not more than 250
V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
It also deals with compression-type appliances for household and
similar use, which use flammable refrigerants. This standard does not
cover features of the construction and operation of those refrigerating
appliances which are dealt with in other IEC standards.
Refrigerating appliances not intended for normal household use but
which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as:
− refrigerating appliances used in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices
and other working environments, − refrigerating appliances used in
farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments,

195
 − refrigerating appliances used in bed and breakfast type environments,
and
− refrigerating appliances used in catering and similar non-retail
applications are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards
presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and
around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
• lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the
appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or
aircraft, additional requirements may can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by national
health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection
of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
NOTE 2 This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended to be used in the open air;
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions
prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere
(dust, vapour or gas);
– appliances incorporating a battery intended as a power supply for the
refrigerating function;
– appliances assembled on site by the installer;
– appliances with remote motor-compressors;
– motor-compressors (IEC 60335-2-34);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending appliances (IEC
60335-2-75);

196
 – commercial refrigerators and freezers used for the display of food
products, including beverages, for retail sale (IEC 60335-2-89);
– commercial ice-cream appliances.

This standard determines the necessary characteristics and test methods
of these characteristics for household refrigeration appliances that are
produced or assembled in factories and cooled by natural air movement
or forced circulation. The tests here are typical, and for this reason, if it
is necessary to certify the performance of a refrigeration device
according to this standard, preferably, where possible, all the specified
tests should be performed on a single device. To study a particular
feature, these tests can also be performed individually.

This standard applies to plugs and fixed or portable socket-outlets for
a.c. only, with or without earthing contact, with a rated voltage
greater than 50 V but not exceeding 440 V and a rated current
not exceeding 32 A, intended for household and similar purposes,
either indoors or outdoors. The rated current is limited to 16 A
maximum for fixed socket-outlets provided with screwless terminals.
This standard does not cover requirements for flush mounting
boxes: however, it covers only those requirements for surface-type
mounting boxes which are necessary for the tests on the socket-
outlet.

NOTE 1 General requirements for mounting boxes are given in IEC

60670.

This standard also applies to plugs which are a part of cord sets,
to plugs and portable socket-outlets which are a part of cord
extension sets and to plugs and socket-outlets which are a
component of an appliance, unless otherwise stated in the standard
for the relevant appliance.

This standard does not apply to

– plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes;

– appliance couplers;
– plugs, fixed and portable socket-outlets for ELV;

NOTE 2 ELV values are specified in IEC 60364-4-41.

– fixed socket-outlets combined with fuses, automatic switches, etc.

 NOTE 3 Socket-outlets with pilot lights are allowed provided that pilot
lights comply with the relevant standard, if any. Plugs and socket-
outlets complying with this standard should be suitable for use at
ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average
over a period of 24 h does not exceed +35 °C, with a lower limit of the
ambient air temperature of –5 °C.

NOTE 4 Socket-outlets complying with this standard are only

suitable for incorporation or mounting in equipment in such a way
and in such a place that it is unlikely that the surrounding temperature
exceeds 35 °C.

NOTE 5 In the following country it is required that plugs and

socket-outlets complying with this standard are suitable for use at
ambient temperatures not normally exceeding 35 °C, but occasionally
reaching 40 °C. In locations where special conditions prevail, such
as in ships, vehicles and the like and in hazardous locations, for
example where explosions are liable to occur, special constructions
may be required.

 Scope
This standard specifies the construction, dimensions and test
requirements of power cables with extruded solid insulation for rated
AC voltages of 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV) for fixed
installations such as distribution networks or industrial installations.
Cables of rated AC voltage 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) designed and tested in
accordance with this document can also be used, if declared by the
manufacturer, in DC distribution systems having their nominal voltage
≤ 750 V DC (with a maximum of 900 V DC) between a live conductor
and neutral/earth, or ≤ 1 500 V DC (with a maximum 1 800 V DC)
between two live conductors. Applicable core identification for DC
systems are considered in accordance with local installation
regulations.

This standard specifies the construction, dimensions and test
requirements of power cables with extruded solid insulation from 6 kV
up to 30 kV for fixed installations such as distribution networks or
industrial installations. When determining applications, it is
recommended that the possible risk of radial water ingress is
considered. Cable designs with barriers claimed to prevent longitudinal
water penetration and an associated test are included in this standard.
Cables for special installation and service conditions are not included,
for example cables for overhead networks, the mining industry, nuclear
power plants (in and around the containment area) nor for submarine
use or shipboard application.

Although the ratio of each shrimp weight to
the average weight of shrimp in a sample is
a factor that can have a positive and Between
effective effect on the quality of shrimp and 22 up to

this product, but the average weight and than 154
number of shrimp per unit weight (number) per Kg
component Qualitative factors are not
characteristic for product classification.

Factors influencing grading: In addition to

the conditions mentioned in the shrimp
grading standard, shrimp grading is done by
considering and examining the product in
freezing, thawing and cooking conditions,
which is evaluated according to the
following characteristics. A. Moisture loss
rate B- old age Black spots on the skin or
2 - -
loosening of the shrimp membrane Black
spots on the meat E- Cutting and injury and
the presence of shrimp parts E- Legs and
pieces of skin and tail (swimming limbs)

Taste and smell - is a sensory factor
(organoleptic) that is evaluated after
cooking the product in the appropriate way
as follows: A. Good taste and smell - Good
taste and smell (basic condition of grade A
shrimp) means that the product has the taste
and smell of freshly caught shrimp and is
free of any other additional taste and smell.
3 Note: The taste and smell similar to - -
iodoform should not be interpreted as
additional taste and smell. B- Acceptable
taste and smell - Acceptable taste and smell
(minimum necessary condition for grade B
and C shrimp) means that the product does
not have a good taste and smell like
paragraph A, but at the same time free from
any excess and nasty taste and smell O be.
Counting (number of shrimps per unit
weight): The division of the number of
shrimp in a package of pure net is specified
Determining the net weight of shrimp:
Necessary equipment A- Container of 20
liters or larger B- Flowing water with a
temperature of 24 to 30 degrees Celsius and
a rubber tube of sufficient length that can
reach the bottom of the container. C-
Sensitive scales with an accuracy of 0.1 g
4 T- Wired sieve - -
How to work: Place the frozen shrimp in a
20 liter container in which fresh water (24
to 30 ° C) flows from the bottom of the
container at an average speed of 37 liters
per minute to remove any glaze and
stickiness on the surface. Remove it so that
the shrimp can be easily separated, then
pour the contents of the container into the
sieve and hold the sieve obliquely
(approximately at a 45 degree angle) until

all the liquids in the sieve are well drained,
so continue to clean for two minutes.
Weigh the sieve with its contents at this
time. The net weight of the shrimp is equal
to the weight of the sieve with its contents
minus the weight of the sieve.
Packaging and marking
Packing: Place the product in suitable
containers and then pack them in large
cartons. Cartons are made of corrugated
cardboard or fiberboard and must be able to
withstand pressure and impact during
loading. Carton packaging must be reliable.
Marking: The following identifications
must be written on each package:

This standard applies to manually operated general purpose
functional switches, for alternating current (AC) only with a rated
voltage not exceeding 440 V with a rated current not exceeding 63 A,
intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either
indoors or outdoors. For switches provided with screwless terminals,
the rated current is limited to 16 A.

NOTE 1 - An extension of the scope to switches for rated voltages

higher than 440 V is under consideration. The rated current is
limited to 16 A for switches provided with insulation piercing
terminals (IPT’s) according to Annex D.

Switches covered by this document are, where applicable, intended

for the control in normal

use of all of the following loads:

– a circuit for a tungsten filament lamp load;

– a circuit for an externally ballasted lamp load (for example LED,
CFL, fluorescent lamp load);
– a circuit for a self ballasted lamp load (for example LEDi or CFLi);
– a circuit for a substantially resistive load with a power factor not less
than 0,95;
– a single phase circuit for motor load with a rated current not
exceeding 3 A at 250 V
(750 VA) and 4,5 A at 120 V (540 VA) and a power factor not less than
0,6. This applies to both switches rated not less than 10 A that

316
have not undergone additional tests and to momentary switches
rated not less than 6 A that have not undergone additional tests.

NOTE 2 -In the following country the suitability of a switch

intended to control the inrush current of a motor shall be tested:
AU.

This document also applies to boxes for switches, with the

exception of mounting boxes for flush-type switches.

NOTE 3 - In this standard specific requirements are given for

boxes, while General requirements for boxes for ordinary* flush-
type switches are given in IEC 60670-1.

It also applies to switches such as:

– switches incorporating pilot lights;

– electromagnetic remote control switches (particular requirements are
given in part 2 IEC 60669-2-2);
– switches incorporating a time-delay device (particular
requirements are given in part 2 IEC 60669-2-3);
– combinations of switches and other functions (with the exception
of switches combined with fuses);
– electronic switches (particular requirements are given in part 2 IEC
60669-2-1);
– switches having facilities for the outlet and retention of flexible cables
(see Annex A);
– isolating switches (particular requirements are given in IEC 60669-2-
4);
– switches and related accessories for use in home and building
electronic systems

317
 (particular requirements are given in IEC 60669-2-5);

– firemen’s switches (particular requirements are given in IEC 60669-

2-6).

NOTE 3 – The minimum length of the flexible cable used with these
switches may be governed by National Wiring Rules.

Switches complying with this document are suitable for use at

ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +25 40 °C, but
occasionally reaching their average over a period of 24 h does not
exceed +35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of –5
°C.

NOTE 4 - Additional requirements for flush-type non-ordinary switches are

under consideration. For lower

temperatures see Annex E.

NOTE 5 - Switches complying with this document are suitable only for
incorporation in equipment in such a way and in such a place that it is
unlikely that the surrounding ambient temperature exceeds +35 °C.

In locations where special conditions prevail, such as in ships,

vehicles and the like and in

hazardous locations, for example where explosions are liable to

occur, special construction

and/or additional requirements may be required.
