This part 2-14 applies to electric actuators for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household and similar use. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof. NOTE 1 Throughout this standard the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment." EXAMPLE 1 Electric actuators for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335. This International Standard is applicable to controls for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484. This part 2-14 also applies to automatic electrical controls for equipment that may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications. EXAMPLE 2 Controls for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment. This part 2-14 is also applicable to individual electric actuators utilized as part of a control system or controls, which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs. EXAMPLE 3 Independently mounted water valves, controls in smart grid systems and controls for building automation systems within the scope of ISO 16484-2. This part 2-14 does not apply to automatic electric actuators intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the relevant part 2 or the equipment standard.
