Switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations - Collateral standard - Switches and related accessories for use in home and building electronic systems (HBES)
This clause of Part 2-1 is replaced by the following: This collateral standard applies to HBES switches with a working voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a rated current up to and including 16 A. for household and similar fixed electrical installations either indoors or outdoors and to associated electronic extension units. It applies – to HBES switches for the operation of lamp circuits and the control of the brightness of lamps (dimmers) as well as the control of the speed of motors (e.g. those used in ventilating fans) and for other purposes (e.g. heating installations ), – to sensors, actuators, switched-socket-outlets, associated electronic extension units, etc In the following document the word " HBES switch " is applied to describe all kind of HBES devices e.g. switches, sensors, actuators, switched-socket-outlets, associated electronic extension units, etc. The operation and control are performed – intentionally by a person via an actuating member, a key, a card, etc., via a sensing surface or a sensing unit, by means of touch, proximity, turn, optical, acoustic, thermal, – by physical means, e.g. light, temperature, humidity, time, wind velocity, presence of people, – by any other influence; and transmitted – by an electronic signal via several media, e.g. powerline (mains), twisted pair, optical fibre, radio frequency, infra-red, etc… HBES Switches complying with this standard are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding 25 °C, but occasionally reaching 35 °C. Functional safety aspects of HBES switches are not covered by this standard. Functional safety requirements shall be covered by the standards of the devices which are controlled by the HBES. In locations where special conditions prevail, e.g. higher temperature, special constructions may be required.

L'article de la Partie 2-1 est remplacé par le nouvel article suivant: Cette norme collatérale s'applique aux interrupteurs HBES de tension locale ne dépassant pas 250 V en courant alternatif et de courant assigné inférieur ou égal à 16 A, pour installations électriques fixes domestiques et analogues intérieures ou extérieures et pour les éléments électroniques périphériques. Elle s'applique – aux interrupteurs HBES pour le fonctionnement des circuits de lampes et pour la commande de la brillance des lampes (variateurs) ou de la vitesse des moteurs (par exemple ceux des ventilateurs) ainsi que pour d'autres utilisations (par exemple installations de chauffage), – aux capteurs, organes de commande, socles interrupteurs, éléments électroniques périphériques associés, etc. Dans le présent document, le mot "interrupteur HBES" est utilisé pour décrire toutes sortes de produits HBES, par exemple, des interrupteurs, capteurs, organes de commande, socles de prises de courant avec interrupteurs, éléments électroniques périphériques associés, etc. Le fonctionnement et la commande sont réalisés – intentionnellement par une personne, par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de manœuvre, d'une clef, d'une carte, etc., ou d'une surface sensible ou d'un élément sensible au toucher, à la proximité, à la rotation, à un phénomène optique, acoustique, thermique, – par un moyen physique, par exemple la lumière, l'humidité, l'heure, la vitesse du vent, la présence de personnes, – par toute autre influence; et transmis – par un signal électronique via plusieurs supports, par exemple les réseaux d'alimentation électrique (réseau), les paires torsadées, les fibres optiques, les fréquences radio, l'infrarouge, etc… Les interrupteurs HBES conformes à la présente norme sont adaptés à une utilisation à des températures ambiantes ne dépassant pas habituellement 25 °C, mais pouvant occasionnellement atteindre 35 °C. Les aspects sécurité fonctionnelle des interrupteurs HBES ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme. Les exigences de sécurité fonctionnelle doivent être couvertes par les normes correspondantes des produits commandés par les HBES. Dans les locaux présentant des conditions particulières, par exemple une température plus élevée, des constructions spéciales peuvent être exigées.

Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 23B:
Switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations.
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 50428 on 2004-12-07.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2006-01-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2008-01-01
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of
EC Directive 89/336/EEC. See Annex ZZ.
This standard has to be used in conjunction with EN 60669-1 and EN 60669-2-1. It lists the
additional changes necessary to convert it into the European Standard: Switches for household and
similar fixed electrical installations - Collateral standard - Switches and related accessories for use
in home and building electronic systems (HBES)
When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of
EN 60669-1 or EN 60669-2-1 (hereinafter called Part 1 and Part 2-1 respectively) is to be adapted
accordingly.
NOTE The following numbering system is used:
- subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 201 are additional to those in Part 2-1;
- additional annexes to Part 1 are lettered AA, BB, etc.
