Overview

The SIST EN 62080:2010/A2:2015 standard, developed by CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), specifies requirements for sound signalling devices intended for household and similar purposes. This amended European Standard aligns with the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) IEC 62080:2001/A2:2015, ensuring harmonized safety, performance, and electromagnetic compatibility for sound signalling electrical accessories used in domestic settings.

Sound signalling devices covered by this standard broadly include alarms, buzzers, and other acoustic signalling components integrated into household equipment, offering crucial alerts or notifications for users. This standard is key to guaranteeing device reliability, user safety, and regulatory compliance across European markets.

Key Topics

• Scope and Harmonization
  EN 62080 is harmonized with IEC 62080:2001/A2:2015, ensuring consistent requirements and application within European national standards. This amendment A2 updates the 2009 edition to reflect latest technical progress and testing protocols.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
  EMC performance and emission tests are a critical feature. The standard stipulates distinct tests for various device families based on their functional characteristics, including:

  • Conducted and radiated emissions per CISPR 14-1
  • Immunity to electrostatic discharge (IEC 61000-4-2)
  • Radiated electromagnetic fields (IEC 61000-4-3)
  • Electrical fast transient bursts (IEC 61000-4-4)
  • Surge immunity (IEC 61000-4-5)
  • Voltage dips and interruptions (IEC 61000-4-11)

• Device Family Groupings and Test Requirements
  The standard categorizes signalling devices into nine families (e.g., solenoid operated, motor operated, electronic battery powered), with tailored test requirements and performance criteria for each family to ensure robustness under typical household electrical disturbances.

• Safety and Performance Criteria
  Performance criteria for sound output, durability, and electrical safety considerations are implied, aligning with general requirements for electrical accessories used by consumers to prevent hazards.

• Implementation and Compliance Dates
  SIST EN 62080:2010/A2:2015 mandates member states to implement or endorse the standard by February 22, 2016, with conflicting national standards withdrawn by May 22, 2018.

Applications

SIST EN 62080:2010/A2:2015 is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities involved with:

• Household Alarms and Signals
  Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, doorbells, timers, and other domestic signalling devices.

• Consumer Electrical Accessories
  Any acoustical signalling component integrated into consumer electrical products requiring standardized electromagnetic immunity and emission performance.

• Product Safety Certification
  Certification bodies use this standard during conformity assessment to verify compliance with safety and EMC regulations for household signals.

• Design and Development Guidance
  Electrical accessory designers rely on this standard to guide EMC robustness and safety criteria essential for product acceptance in European markets.
