scope:

This part of IEC 61810 states the test and measurement procedures for electromechanical elementary relays. It covers basic considerations which are, in general, common to all types of electromechanical elementary relays. Supplementary requirements may be necessitated by specific designs or application. The test and measurement procedures of this standard are described as individual provisions covering a specific requirement. When combining them in a test programme, care must be taken (for example by suitable grouping of tested relays) to ensure that preceding tests do not devalue subsequent ones. Where in this standard the term "specified" is used, this means a prescription in the appropriate documentation for the relay, for example manufacturer's data sheet, test specification, customer detail specification. For application within the IECQ system such prescriptions are contained in the detail specification as defined in Clause A.7 of QC 001001.
