AUTOMATIC ELECTRICAL CONTROLS –
Part 2-8: Particular requirements for electrically operated water valves,
including mechanical requirements
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 60730-2-8 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 72:
Automatic electrical controls.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2000,
Amendment 1:2002 and its Amendment 2:2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• alignment of the text with IEC 60730-1 fifth edition (2013) including Amendment 1:2015;
• introduction of specific requirements for thermoplastic bodied valves for the control of
water for tap and shower outlets (18.101.4.3 and Annex CC);
• removal of Subclause 18.102 Wetted material specifications.
IEC 60730-2-8:2018 © IEC 2018 – 5 –
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
72/1077/CDV 72/1120/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2-8 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on
the basis of the fifth edition (2013) including Amendment 1 (2015) of that publication.
This part 2-8 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1 so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for electrically operated
water valves, including mechanical requirements.
Where this part 2-8 states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant
requirement, test specification or explanatory matter in part 1 should be adapted accordingly.
Where no change is necessary, part 2-8 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause
applies.
In the development of a fully international standard, it has been necessary to take into
consideration the differing requirements resulting from practical experience in various parts of
the world and to recognize the variation in national electrical systems and wiring rules.
The "in some countries" notes regarding differing national practices are contained in the following elements:
– Table 1, footnotes ab and ac
– Table 13, footnote aa
– 1.1.4
– 16.2.1
– 18.101.3
