Comprehensive Guide to IEC 60730-2-XX Automatic Electrical Controls - Requirements Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

IEC 60730-2-XX is a standard that outlines the requirements for automatic electrical controls, including temperature sensing and control devices. This standard is widely adopted across the globe and is considered essential for ensuring the safety and performance of such devices.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) develops and publishes international standards for electrical equipment and systems. IEC 60730-2-XX is one of the many standards developed by IEC to ensure that automatic electrical controls meet certain requirements, including safety, performance, and interchangeability.

In addition to IEC 60730-2-XX, several other standards are relevant to this testing service, including:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2005 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN 60335-1:2019 - Safety for household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN IEC 60730-2-XX:2020 - Automatic electrical controls for household and similar applications - Part 2-XX: Specific aspects, safety requirements, and tests

    • Standard Development Organizations

    IEC is the primary organization responsible for developing and publishing international standards. Other organizations, such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), EN (European Standards), and TSE (Turkish Standards Institution), also contribute to standard development.

    These organizations collaborate with each other and with industry stakeholders to develop standards that meet specific needs and requirements. They also regularly review and update existing standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

    Why IEC 60730-2-XX is Required

    IEC 60730-2-XX is required because it ensures that automatic electrical controls, including temperature sensing and control devices, meet certain safety and performance requirements. This standard is essential for protecting users from potential hazards, such as electric shock or fire.

    The consequences of not performing IEC 60730-2-XX testing can be severe, including damage to property, injuries, and even fatalities. Additionally, non-compliance with this standard may result in legal and regulatory penalties.

    Industries that Require IEC 60730-2-XX Testing

    Several industries require IEC 60730-2-XX testing, including:

  • Household appliance manufacturers

  • HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system suppliers
