IEC 60494-2:20 13定义了应用于受电弓的一般装配特性，以实现从架空线路设备收集电流。它还定义了受电弓必须执行的测试，不包括绝缘体。本标准涉及常规悬挂架空线路设备和附件。与上一版相比，主要技术变化如下: -静态接触力公差的简化和标准化； -项的调整(静态接触力代替静态力)； -新的附件“日本的静态接触力公差”。

IEC 60494-2:2013 defines the general assembly characteristics which are to be applied to pantographs, to enable current collection from the overhead line equipment. It also defines the tests the pantographs have to perform, excluding insulators. This Standard relates to conventional suspended overhead line equipment and accessories. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- simplification and standardization of the tolerances for static contact force;
- adjustment of terms (static contact force instead of static force);
- new Annex "Static contact force tolerances in Japan".
