IEC 60669-2-6:2012 is applicable to fireman’s switches used for the breaking of the low-voltage circuits for exterior and interior signs and luminaires e.g. neon signs for a.c. only with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 125 A. This publication is to be read in conjunction with /2.
