IEC 60730-2-13:2017 applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls for use in, on or in association with equipment, including controls for heating, air-conditioning and similar applications. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof.This Standard is applicable to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls forming part of a building automation control system within the scope of ISO 16484.This standard also applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing 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.This standard does not apply to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the equipment standard.This standard applies to automatic electrical controls, mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to or controlling humidity.This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes alignment with the text of 60730-1 fifth edition and the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:- alignment of the EMC requirements in Clause H.26 to those in other part 2 standards;- addition of requirements in Clause H.27 to cover class B and C control functions of humidity sensing controls.This Part 2-13 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730 1. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition of that standard (2013). Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 60730-1.This Part 2-13 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for humidity sensing controls.Where this Part 2-13 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, this Part 2-13 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause applies.The contents of the corrigendum of February 2018 have been included in this copy.
This part of IEC 60730 applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls for use in, on or in association with equipment for household and similar use, including controls for heating, air-conditioning and similar applications. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof.
IEC 60730-2-13:2025 applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls ? for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household appliance and similar use; NOTE 1?Throughout this document, the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment" and "controls" means "humidity sensing control". ? for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484 series and IEC 63044 series (HBES/BACS); ? for equipment that is used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications; EXAMPLE 1?Humidity sensing controls for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment. ? that are smart enabled controls; EXAMPLE 2?Smart grid control, remote interfaces/control of energy-consuming equipment including computer or smart phone. ? that are AC or DC powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC; ? used in, on, or in association with equipment that use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof; ? utilized as part of a control system or controls which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs; ? using NTC or PTC thermistors and to discrete thermistors, requirements for which are contained in Annex J; ? that are mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to or controlling such characteristics as temperature, pressure, passage of time, humidity, light, electrostatic effects, flow, or liquid level, current, voltage, acceleration, or combinations thereof; ? as well as manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic controls. NOTE 2?Requirements for manually actuated mechanical switches not forming part of an automatic control are contained in IEC 61058-1-1. This document applies to ? the inherent safety of automatic electrical humidity sensing controls, and ? functional safety of automatic electrical humidity sensing controls and safety related systems, ? humidity sensing controls where the performance (for example the effect of EMC phenomena) of the product can impair the overall safety and performance of the controlled system, ? the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety. This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic electrical humidity sensing controls used in, on, or in association with an equipment. This document does not ? apply to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the relevant part 2 or the equipment standard. However, this document can be applied to evaluate humidity sensing controls intended specifically for industrial applications in cases where no relevant safety standard exists; ? take into account the response value of an automatic action of a humidity sensing control, if such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the humidity sensing control in the equipment. Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer will apply; ? address the integrity of the output signal to the network devices, such as interoperability with other devices unless it has been evaluated as part of the control system. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) adoption to IEC 60730-1:2022 with all of its significant changes to IEC 60730-1:2013, IEC 60730-1:2013/AMD1:2015 and IEC 60730-1:2013/AMD2:2020.
