scope:

This part of IEC 61810 applies to electromechanical elementary relays (non-specified time allor- nothing relays) for incorporation into equipment. It defines the basic functional requirements and safety-related aspects for applications in all areas of electrical engineering or electronics, such as: • general industrial equipment, • electrical facilities, • electrical machines, • electrical appliances for household and similar use, • information technology and business equipment, • building automation equipment, • automation equipment, • electrical installation equipment, • medical equipment, • control equipment, • telecommunications, • vehicles, • transportation (e.g. railways). Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated. In case the application of a relay determines additional requirements exceeding those specified in this standard, the relay should be assessed in line with this application in accordance with the relevant IEC standard(s) (e.g. IEC 60730-1, IEC 60335-1, IEC 60950-1).
