Are keystone modules standardized?

Are keystone modules standardizes? Do modules of one manufacturer fit into the module carriers of another manufacturer?

Answer: The keystone format is standardized by IEC 60603-7. The most important dimensions and the tolerances that go with them are specified by this standard. However there are different designs of module carriers and faceplates available and do modules of one manufacturer do not necessarily fit into the modules carriers and faceplates of another manufacturer. Compatibility lists show which modules fit into which module carrier and faceplate. Such a list can be downloaded from the Telegärtner website as well as lists for module carriers of various floor boxes.
