FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61811-10 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 94: All-
or-nothing electrical relays.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC 60255-19 (1983) and constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
94/168/FDIS 94/172/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
The QC number that appears on the front cover of this publication is the specification number
in the IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 61811 is a sectional specification applicable to electromechanical elementary
(non-specified time all-or-nothing) relays of assessed quality for industrial application.
NOTE Electromechanical all-or-nothing telecom relays of assessed quality are covered by IEC 61811-50.
It is based on the basic relay standard IEC 61810-1 as well as on the generic specification
IEC 61811-1 and selects from IEC 61810-7 the appropriate test and measurement procedures
to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification. Moreover it contains a basic
test schedule to be used in the preparation of such specifications. Detailed test schedules are
given in the blank detail specifications supplementary to this sectional specification.
For the purpose of this standard, only fundamental tests have been compiled. Depending on
the field of application, further tests should be selected as appropriate, preferably in
accordance with the test and measurement procedures of IEC 61810-7.

1.3 Marking
Relays and their package supplied in accordance with detail specifications covered by this
sectional specification, shall as a minimum be marked as follows:
1.3.1 Relay
• Trade mark or manufacturer’s name
• Relay type and variant code
• Date of manufacture, year/week, coded in accordance with IEC 60062
• IECQ mark
Where space permits, a circuit diagram or terminal identification should be given.

2 Quality assessment procedures
2.1 Primary stage of manufacture
The primary stage of manufacture is the first process subsequent to the manufacture of
finished parts and subassemblies of the relay.
NOTE 1 A subassembly is understood to mean here the permanent assembly of two or more piece parts.
NOTE 2 Important manufacturing steps are as follows:
a) fabrication, heat treatment and plating of the component parts of the relay;
b) coil winding;
c) assembling of the electrical and electromechanical parts;
d) adjustment of the relay contacts, if applicable;
e) high-temperature drying, gas backfilling and sealing of the relay, if applicable;
f) final measurements and periodic inspection of test groups A to D.
2.2 Structurally similar relays
Relays are considered structurally similar if having no differences in design other than in:
a) coil wire diameter, number of windings and the coil transient suppression device;
b) types, numbers and material of contacts;
c) rated coil and/or contact voltage(s);
d) mounting and terminal variants within the limits prescribed in the detail specification.

2.3 Subcontracting
Subcontracting the primary stage of manufacture (see 2.1) and/or subsequent stages to an
unapproved manufacturer is forbidden. Subcontracting is permitted for any stages preceding
the primary stage of manufacture and shall be in accordance with the requirements of
(normative) Annex B to Clause 2 of IEC QC 001002-3.
2.4 Qualification approval procedures
The manufacturer shall comply with the general requirements of the basic rules governing
qualification approval defined in Clause 3 of IEC QC 001002-3 and the provisions given in 2.2
