This clause of Part 1 is completely replaced by the following:
This part of IEC 60669 applies to electronic control devices, a general term to cover electronic switches, home and building electronic systems (HBES) / building automation and control systems (BACS) switches and electronic extension units.
It applies to electronic switches and to HBES/BACS switches, for alternating current (AC) only with a rated switching voltage not exceeding 250 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors.
It also applies to electronic extension units with a rated supply voltage not exceeding 250 V AC and 120 V DC, such as sensors and push buttons.
This document also applies to electronic remote control switches (RCS) and electronic time delay switches (TDS). Particular requirements are given in Annex FF.
Switches including only passive components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) and negative temperature coefficient (NTC) components, varistors, printed wiring boards and connectors are not considered as electronic control devices.
This document also applies to electronic switches and HBES/BACS switches for the operation of lighting equipment circuits and the control of the brightness of lighting equipment (dimmers) as well as the control of the speed of motors (for example, those used in ventilating fans) and for other purposes (for example, heating controls).
The operation and/or control as mentioned above can be transmitted by an electronic signal via several media, for example, powerline (mains), twisted pair, optical fibre, radio frequency, infrared, etc. and 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, for example, light, temperature, humidity, time, wind velocity, presence
of people;
- by any other influence.
This document also applies to electronic control devices which include integrated radio receivers and transmitters.
This document covers only those requirements for mounting boxes which are necessary for the tests on the electronic control devices.
Requirements for general purpose mounting boxes are given in the relevant part, if any, of IEC 60670.
This document is not intended to cover devices falling within the scope of IEC 60730 (all parts).
Electronic control devices complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient temperature not normally exceeding 25 °C but occasionally reaching 35 °C with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C.
NOTE 1 For lower temperatures, see Annex E.
Functional safety aspects are not covered by this document. Functional safety requirements are covered by the standards of the controlled devices.
In locations where special conditions prevail, such as in ships, vehicles and the like and in hazardous locations, for example where explosions are liable to occur, special construction and/or additional requirements may be required.
This document is not intended to cover devices which are designed to be incorporated in appliances or are intended to be delivered together with a specific appliance and which are within the scope of IEC 60730 (all parts) or IEC 61058-1.
Examples of designs of electronic switches and HBES/BACS switches and functions are shown in Annex AA.
Additional requirements for electronic control devices using DLT-technology in accordance with IEC 62756-1 are given in Annex CC.
Electrical interface specification for phase-cut dimmer used in phase-cut dimmed lighting systems are given for information only in Annex EE.
NOTE 2 Electronic switches and HBES/BACS switches without a mechanical switch in the main circuit do not provide a "full off-state". Therefore, the circuit on the load side are to be considered to be live.

SWITCHES FOR HOUSEHOLD AND
SIMILAR FIXED ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS –

Part 2-1: Particular requirements – Electronic control devices

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.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60669-2-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 23B: Plugs,
socket-outlets and switches, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, Amendment 1:2008
and Amendment 2:2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) incorporation of the requirements for HBES switches, previously included in
IEC 60669-2-5;
b) modification of 19.106, test and requirements for switches for LEDs;
c) general indication to cover electronic control devices;
d) test for looping through.

104 Switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations –
105 Part 2-1: Particular requirements – Electronic control devices
106 1 Scope
107 This Clause of Part 1 is completely replaced by:
108 This Part of IEC 60669 applies to electronic control devices which is used as a general term to
109 cover electronic switches, HBES/BACS switches and electronic extension units.
110 It applies to electronic switches and to HBES/BACS switches, for alternating current (AC) only
111 with a rated switching voltage not exceeding 250 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A,
112 intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors.
113 It also applies to electronic extension units with a rated supply voltage not exceeding 250 V AC
114 and 120 V DC, such as sensors and push buttons controlling the electronic switches, or the
115 HBES/BACS switches or similar control devices used in lighting systems in the building
116 environment.
117 NOTE 1 An example of lighting systems is DALI.
118 This Part of IEC 60669 also applies to electronic RCS and electronic TDS. Particular
119 requirements are given in Annex FF.
120 Switches including only passive components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, PTC and
121 NTC components, varistors, printed wiring boards and connectors are not considered as
122 electronic control devices.
123 This Part of IEC 60669 also applies to electronic switches and HBES/BACS switches for the
124 operation of lighting equipment circuits and the control of the brightness of lighting equipment
125 (dimmers) as well as the control of the speed of motors (for example, those used in ventilating
126 fans) and for other purposes (for example, heating controls).
127 The operation and/or control as mentioned above may be transmitted by an electronic signal via
128 several media, e.g. powerline (mains), twisted pair, optical fibre, radio frequency, infra-red, etc.
129 and are performed:
130 - intentionally by a person via an actuating member, a key, a card, etc., via a sensing surface
131 or a sensing unit, by means of touch, proximity, turn, optical, acoustic, thermal;
132 - by physical means, e.g. light, temperature, humidity, time, wind velocity, presence of people;
133 - by any other influence.
134 This standard covers only those requirements for mounting boxes which are necessary for the
135 tests on the electronic control devices.
136 Requirements for general purpose mounting boxes are given in IEC 60670.
137 This standard is not intended to cover devices falling within the scope of IEC 60730.
138 Electronic control devices complying with this standard are suitable for use at ambient
139 temperature not normally exceeding 25 °C but occasionally reaching 35 °C with a lower limit of
140 the ambient air temperature of –5 °C.
141 NOTE 2 For lower temperatures see ANNEX E.
142 Functional safety aspects are not covered by this standard. Functional safety requirements are
143 covered by the standards of the controlled devices.
144 In locations where special conditions prevail, such as in ships, vehicles and the like and in
145 hazardous locations, for example where explosions are liable to occur, special construction
146 and/or additional requirements may be required.
147 NOTE 3 This standard is not intended to cover devices which are designed to be incorporated in appliances or are
148 intended to be delivered together with a specific appliance and which are within the scope of IEC 60730 or
149 IEC 61058-1.
150 Examples of designs of electronic switches and functions are shown in annex AA.
