Annotation of standard text IEC 60730-2-7-ed.4.0 :

IEC 60730-2-7:2026 applies to timers and time switches: - for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household appliance and similar use; NOTE 1 Throughout this document, the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment" and "controls" means "timer or time switches". NOTE 2 Throughout this document, the word "timers" means timers and time switches, unless the type is specifically mentioned. - for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484 series and IEC 63044 series (HBES/BACS); - or equipment that is used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications; - that are smart enabled controls; - that are AC or DC powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC; - utilized as part of a control system or controls which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs; - as well as manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic controls. NOTE 3 Requirements for manually actuated mechanical switches not forming part of an automatic control are contained in IEC 61058-1-1. This document applies to - the inherent safety of timers and time switches, and - functional safety of timers and time switches and safety related systems, - timers and time switches where the performance (for example the effect of EMC phenomena) of the product can impair the overall safety and performance of the controlled system, - the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety, - timers for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335 series. - manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with timers. This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of timers and time switches used in, on, or in association with an equipment. This document does not - apply to time-delay switches (TDS) within the scope of IEC 60669-2-3; - include devices which only indicate time or passage of time; - apply to multi-functional controls having an integrated timing function which is not capable of being tested as a separate timing device. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: adoption of IEC 60730-1:2022 (Ed.6.0) with all of its significant changes to IEC 60730 1:2010 (Ed.4). This part 2-7 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition of that standard (2022). Consideration can be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 60730 1. This part 2-7 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for timers and time switches. Where this part 2-7 states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant requirement, test specification or explanatory matter in part 1 should be adapted accordingly. Where no change is necessary, part 2-7 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause applies LIEC 60730-2-7:2026 sapplique aux minuteries et aux minuteries cycliques: - utilisees dans, sur ou avec des materiels pour appareils domestiques et a usage analogue; NOTE 1 Dans le present document, le terme "materiel" signifie "appareil et materiel" et le terme "dispositifs de commande" signifie "minuteries ou minuteries cycliques". NOTE 2 Partout ou il est utilise dans le present document, le terme "minuteries" signifie minuteries et minuteries cycliques, sauf si le type est clairement precise. - pour lautomatisation des batiments qui relevent du domaine dapplication de la serie ISO 16484 et de la serie IEC 63044 (HBES/BACS); - pour des materiels utilises par le public, tels que les materiels destines a etre utilises dans des magasins, des bureaux, des hopitaux, des fermes et des applications commerciales et industrielles; - qui sont des dispositifs de commande actives intelligents; - qui sont des dispositifs de commande a courant alternatif ou continu dont la tension assignee ne depasse pas 690 V en courant alternatif ou 600 V en courant continu; - qui sont utilises dans le cadre dun systeme de commande ou de dispositifs de commande qui sont mecaniquement integres a des dispositifs de commande multifonctions comportant des sorties non electriques; ainsi quaux dispositifs de commande manuels qui sont electriquement et/ou mecaniquement integres a des dispositifs de commande automatique. NOTE 3 Les exigences relatives aux interrupteurs mecaniques a action manuelle qui ne font pas partie dun dispositif de commande automatique sont contenues dans lIEC 61058-1-1. Le present document sapplique - a la securite intrinseque des minuteries et des minuteries cycliques, et - a la securite fonctionnelle des minuteries et des minuteries cycliques et aux systemes de securite, - aux minuteries et minuteries cycliques pour lesquelles les performances (par exemple, leffet des phenomenes CEM) du produit peuvent compromettre la securite et les performances globales du systeme commande, - aux valeurs de fonctionnement, aux temps de fonctionnement et aux sequences de fonctionnement lorsque ces elements interviennent dans la securite du materiel, - aux minuteries destinees aux appareils relevant du domaine dapplication de la serie IEC 60335. - aux dispositifs de commande manuels qui sont electriquement et/ou mecaniquement integres a des minuteries. Le present document specifie les exigences relatives a la construction, au fonctionnement et aux essais des minuteries et minuteries cycliques utilisees dans, sur ou avec des materiels. Le present document - ne sapplique pas aux interrupteurs temporises (TDS, Time-Delay Switches) qui relevent du domaine dapplication de lIEC 60669-2-3; - ne couvre pas
