IEC 62080:2001

Sound signalling devices for household and similar purposes

This International Standard applies to sound signalling devices with integral enclosures or to sound signalling devices intended to be fitted into or supplied with enclosures according to IEC 60670 intended for household and similar purposes with rated voltages greater than 50 V a.c. or 75 V d.c. and not exceeding 250 V a.c. or 250 V d.c., and with rated power inputs not exceeding 100 VA. This standard applies to fixed, portable and plug-in devices for indoor or outdoor use.

Dispositifs de signalisation sonore pour usage domestique et analogue

La présente Norme internationale s'applique aux avertisseurs sonores ayant une enveloppe complète ou aux avertisseurs sonores devant être installés dans une enveloppe ou fournis avec, conformément à la CEI 60670, destinés à un usage domestique et analogue avec des tensions assignées supérieures à 50 V c.a. ou 75 V c.c. et n'excédant pas 250 V c.a. ou 250 V c.c., et avec une puissance assignée n'excédant pas 100 VA. La présente norme s'applique aux dispositifs installés à poste fixe, mobiles ou enfichables pour utilisation intérieure ou extérieure.

SOUND SIGNALLING DEVICES
FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR PURPOSES

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonabl
