1 Scope
This part of IEC 61810 applies to electromechanical elementary relays (non-specified time all-or-nothing
relays) for incorporation into equipment. It defines the basic functional requirements
and safety-related aspects for applications in all areas of electrical engineering
or electronics, such as:
-
• general industrial equipment,
-
• electrical facilities,
-
• electrical machines,
-
• electrical appliances for household and similar use,
-
• information technology and business equipment,
-
• building automation equipment,
-
• automation equipment,
-
• electrical installation equipment,
-
• medical equipment,
-
• control equipment,
-
• telecommunications,
-
• vehicles,
-
• transportation (e.g. railways).
Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated.
In case the application of a relay determines additional requirements exceeding those
specified in this standard, the relay should be assessed in line with this application
in accordance with the relevant IEC standard(s) (e.g. IEC 60730‑1, IEC 60335‑1, IEC 60950‑1).
