BS EN 61210 establishes uniform requirements for the dimensions, performance characteristics and test program. The connected electrical copper conductors shall be flexible or rigid stranded, having a cross-sectional area up to and including 6 mm2, or rigid solid having a cross-sectional area up to and including 2,5 mm2. BS EN 61210 shall not be used for connecting aluminum conductors. Note 1: This standard, where applicable, may be used for conductors made of material other than copper. Note 2: For reasons of safety, it is recommended that flat quick-connect terminations beyond the scope of this standard should not be interchangeable with those of this standard. Note 3: This standard does not apply to female connectors with positive locking means. Note 4: The flat quick-connect terminations covered by this standard are not intended to be disconnected by pulling on the cable.
