Automatic electrical controls - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60703-1:2022 applies to automatic electrical controls for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household appliance and similar use. This document applies to - the inherent safety of automatic electrical controls, and - functional safety of automatic electrical controls and safety related systems, - controls 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. This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic electrical controls used in, on, or in association with an equipment.

Dispositifs de commande électrique automatiques - Partie 1: Exigences générales

L'IEC 60703-1:2022 s’applique aux commandes électriques automatiques destinées à être utilisées dans, sur ou en association avec des équipements pour appareils ménagers et à usage similaire. Le présent document s’applique aux - la sécurité inhérente des commandes électriques automatiques, et - la sécurité fonctionnelle des commandes électriques automatiques et des systèmes liés à la sécurité, - les contrôles lorsque les performances (par exemple l’effet des phénomènes CEM) du produit peuvent nuire à la sécurité et aux performances globales du système contrôlé, - les valeurs de fonctionnement, les temps de fonctionnement et les séquences de fonctionnement lorsque ceux-ci sont associés à la sécurité de l’équipement. Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la construction, au fonctionnement et aux essais des commandes électriques automatiques utilisées dans, sur ou en association avec un équipement.
