This part of IEC 61008 applies to residual current operated circuit-breakers, without integral
overcurrent protection, for household and similar uses (hereafter referred to as RCCBs),
classified according to IEC 61008-1:2024, 4.1.1. RCCBs according to this document are
intended for voltages not exceeding 440 V AC with frequencies of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz
and currents not exceeding 125 A, intended principally for protection against shock hazard.
This document applies in conjunction with IEC 61008-1:2024. It specifies requirements, tests
and test sequences to verify compliance and is used for certification purposes.
