Why should you use BS EN 60998-2-2 - Connecting devices with screwless type clamping units?
The screwless type clamping units manage the ease with which solid and stranded wires can be inserted, ensuring good wire retention and optimal contact. It is the terminal for the connection and subsequent disconnection of two or more conductors, the connection being made directly or indirectly by means of springs, wedges, or the like.
When used in conjunction with BS EN 60998-1 specifies essential requirements for construction, marking, performance, and test methods for Connecting devices with screwless type clamping units
