scope:

This part of IEC 61811 is a sectional specification and applies to electromechanical all-or-nothing telecom relays of assessed quality. Relays according to this standard are provided for operation in telecommunication applications. However, as electromechanical all-or-nothing relays they are also suitable for particular industrial and other applications. This standard selects from IEC 61810-7 and other sources the appropriate methods of test to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification, and contains basic test schedules to be used in the preparation of such specifications. Detailed test schedules are contained in the blank detail specifications supplementary to this specification.
