Annotation of standard text IEC 60691-ed.5.0 :

IEC 60691:2023 is available as IEC 60691:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60691:2023 is applicable to thermal-links intended for incorporation in electrical appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof, normally intended for use indoors, in order to protect them against excessive temperatures under abnormal conditions. NOTE 1 The equipment is not designed to generate heat. NOTE 2 The effectiveness of the protection against excessive temperatures logically depends upon the position and method of mounting of the thermal-link, as well as upon the current which it is carrying. This document may be applicable to thermal-links for use under conditions other than indoors, provided that the climatic and other circumstances in the immediate surroundings of such thermal-links are comparable with those in this standard. This document may be applicable to thermal-links in their simplest forms (e.g. melting strips or wires), provided that molten materials expelled during function cannot adversely interfere with the safe use of the equipment, especially in the case of hand-held or portable equipment, irrespective of its position. IEC 60691:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60691:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis ledition precedente.LIEC 60691:2023 sapplique aux protecteurs thermiques destines a etre incorpores dans les appareils electriques, le materiel electronique et ses composants, normalement utilises en interieur, afin de les proteger contre les temperatures excessives lors de conditions anormales. NOTE 1 Le materiel nest pas prevu pour produire de la chaleur. NOTE 2 Lefficacite de la protection contre les temperatures excessives depend logiquement de la position et du mode de montage du protecteur thermique ainsi que du courant qui le traverse. Le present document peut sappliquer aux protecteurs thermiques utilises dans dautres conditions que celles qui sont reunies en interieur, tant que les conditions climatiques ou autres de lenvironnement immediat de tels protecteurs thermiques sont comparables a celles de la presente norme.
