Part 1: Generic specification and blank detail specification
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 61811-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 94: All-or-

3.3 Contact fault and contact failure
3.3.1
failure to make
failure caused when no sufficient contact is ensured
Note 1 to entry: This could be a not acceptable or excessive contact resistance exceeds the maximum value
stated in the detail specification as well a bouncing of the contact due to the lost of overtravel.
3.3.2
failure to break
failure caused when the current flows although it should not
Note 1 to entry: For example, This could be a contact welding/sticking as well as a delayed contact operate or
release contact. Also, it is assumed that the contact does not open, when the resistance of an open contact
assembly falls below the specified minimum value stated in the detail specification
3.3.3
malfunction
single event when an item does not perform a required function

7 Quality assessment procedures
7.1 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 A subassembly is understood to mean here the permanent assembly of two or more piece parts.
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 C.
7.2 Structurally similar relays
Relays are considered structurally similar if they have no differences in design other than:
a) wire diameter and of windings;
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 data sheet or
specification.
e) biasing of the input circuit parts.
7.3 Qualification approval procedures
Qualification approval tests shall include all the tests prescribed in the detail specification and
shall be performed by a schedule specifically prescribed in the detail specification.
The number of specimens for each subgroup is specified in the blank detail specification. As a
general rule, a minimum of five specimens are required for each group of tests.
7.4 Quality conformance inspection
7.4.1 Grouping of tests
7.4.1.1 General
The purpose of grouping tests is to combine in one group all those tests which are of equal
importance to the assessment of the usefulness of the relay. Therefore, each test in the same
subgroup gets the same inspection level and acceptable quality level range, and therefore
further criteria for the allocation of tests to a group are the destructiveness of the test, the
duration of the test and the relation to the fabrication or design.
The frequency of testing takes account of the complexity, duration and overall cost of the test,
and the effect of releasing non-conforming relays.
– 14 – IEC 61811-1:2015 IEC 2015
Characteristics tested at the same frequency and having similar importance to the function of
the relay are combined into the same subgroup.
7.4.1.2 Division into groups (see Annex D)
Lot-by-lot tests are divided into two groups.
a) Group A, covering the visual and dimensional inspection of the relays and non-destructive
short-duration electrical and mechanical test procedures which are employed to assess
the principal characteristics of the relays determined mainly by the fabrication process, as
those which are of a design nature and of vital importance.
b) Group B, covering both destructive and non-destructive test procedures, with a duration of
up to about one week, which are employed to assess the characteristics of the relays
determined mainly by the fabrication process, as those which are of a design nature and
of vital or major importance.
The periodic tests are generally brought together and designated group C tests. Tests in this
group comprise both destructive and non-destructive test procedures that are applied
periodically to confirm that certain characteristics, in addition to those already included in
groups A and B, are being maintained. These characteristics may be related either to design
or to the fabrication process and can be of vital, major and minor importance to the function of
the relay.
If appropriate, a group D may be included containing additional tests required for the
maintenance of qualification approval.
7.4.1.3 Division into subgroups
Groups can be further subdivided into subgroups (see Annex D). Division is made according
to the relative importance (vital, major, minor) of the feature to the overall function of the relay
and the frequency of testing; thus the subgroup to which the test should be allocated is
dete
