IEC 63180:2020

Methods of measurement and declaration of the detection range of detectors - Passive infrared detectors for major and minor motion detection

IEC 63180:2020 provides a methodology and test procedures to be able to declare and verify the detection area for motion detectors using passive infrared technology in electronic control devices and appliance switches, whether stand-alone (direct control of one or more applications) or as part of home and building electronic systems or building automation control systems (HBES/BACS) or similar.

Méthodes de mesure et qualification de la plage de détection des détecteurs - Détecteurs infrarouges passifs pour la détection de mouvements de forte et de faible amplitude

L'IEC 63180:2020 fournit une méthodologie et des procédures d’essai permettant de caractériser et de vérifier la zone de détection des détecteurs de mouvements utilisant la technologie infrarouge passive dans les dispositifs de commande électroniques et les commutateurs d’appareils, qu’ils soient autonomes (commande directe d’une ou plusieurs applications), faisant partie intégrante de systèmes électroniques pour les foyers domestiques et les bâtiments (HBES) ou de systèmes de gestion technique du bâtiment (SGTB), ou assimilés.

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 reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
