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.

This document applies to cord switches (mechanical or electronic) for appliances actuated by
hand, by foot or by other human activity, to operate or control electrical appliances and other
equipment for household or similar purposes with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V and a
rated current not exceeding 16 A.
Throughout this document, the word "appliance" means "appliance or equipment".
These switches are intended to be operated by a person, via an actuating member or by
actuating a sensing unit. The actuating member or sensing unit can be integral or arranged
separately from the switch. The transmission of a signal between the actuating member or
sensing unit and the switch can be made either physically or electrically (for example,
electrical, optical, acoustic or thermal).
Switches which incorporate additional control functions governed by the switch function are
within the scope of this document.
This document also covers the indirect actuation of the switch when the operation of the
actuating member or sensing unit is provided by a remote control or a part of an appliance
such as a door.
NOTE 1 Electronic switches can be combined with mechanical switches giving full disconnection or
microdisconnection.
NOTE 2 Electronic switches without a mechanical switch in the supply circuit provide only electronic
disconnection. Therefore, the circuit on the load side is always considered to be live.
NOTE 3 For switches used in tropical climates, additional requirements can apply.
NOTE 4 Attention is drawn to the fact that the standards for appliances can contain additional or alternative
requirements for switches.

This document is applicable to mechanical switching devices designed as "circuit-breakers for equipment" (CBE) for household and similar applications. CBEs according to this document are intended to provide protection to circuits within electrical equipment including its components (e.g. motors, transformers, internal wiring). This document covers also CBEs applicable for protection of electrical equipment in case of undervoltage and/or overvoltage. This document also covers CBEs which are suitable for isolation. CBEs are not applicable for overcurrent protection of wiring installations of buildings. CBEs according to this document have: - a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V AC (between phases) and/or DC not exceeding 250 V; - a rated current not exceeding 125 A; - a short-circuit capacity (Icn) of at least 6 × In (AC types) and 4 × In (DC types) but not exceeding 3 000 A. CBEs may have a conditional short-circuit current (Inc) rating in association with a specified short-circuit protective device (SCPD). A guide for coordination of a CBE associated in the same circuit with a SCPD is given in Annex F. For CBEs having a degree of protection higher than IP20 according to IEC 60529, for use in locations where hazardous environmental conditions prevail (e.g. excessive humidity, heat or cold or deposition of dust) and in hazardous locations (e.g. where explosions are liable to occur), special constructions may be required. This document contains all the requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the operational characteristics required for these devices by type tests. It also contains the details relative to test requirements and methods of testing necessary to ensure reproducibility of test results. This document states: a) the characteristics of CBEs; b) the conditions with which CBEs shall comply, with reference to: 1) their operation and behaviour in normal service; 2) their operation and behaviour in case of overload; 3) their operation and behaviour in case of short-circuits up to their rated short-circuit capacity; 4) their dielectric properties; c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met and the methods to be adopted for the tests; d) the data to be marked on the devices; e) the test sequences to be carried out and the number of samples to be submitted for certification purposes (see Annex C); f) the routine tests to be carried out to reveal unacceptable variations in material or manufacture, likely to affect safety (see Annex I).
