What is BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 about?
BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 discusses on Automatic electrical controls.
BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 is the part two of the multi edition standard on requirements for temperature sensing controls of automatic electrical controls which is applicable to the functional safety of low complexity safety-related temperature sensing controls and systems.
BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 applies to automatic electrical temperature sensing controls for use in association with equipment including electrical controls for heating, air-conditioning and similar applications.
Note: BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 does not apply to automatic electrical temperature sensing controls intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the relevant equipment standard.
Who is BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 for?
BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 is on requirements for temperature sensing controls of automatic electrical controls applies to:
- Electrical appliances manufacturers
- Temperature sensing control devices manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60730-2-9?
Temperature sensors are used in diverse applications such as food processing, HVAC environmental control, medical devices, chemical handling and automotive under the hood monitoring.
Temperature sensors tend to measure heat to ensure that a process is either, staying within a certain range, providing safe use of that application, or meeting a mandatory condition when dealing with extreme heat, hazards, or inaccessible measuring points. BS EN IEC 60730-2-9 provides requirements for temperature sensor devices so that it will measure temperature with precise accuracy and reliability which is necessary for the safety of the appliance and the working space.
What’s changed since the last update? 7
BS EN IEC 60730-2-9:2019+A1:2019 supersedes EN 60730-2-9:2010, which are withdrawn. In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
- Modification of heating-freezing tests and alignment of the EMC requirements
- Addition of requirements in Clause H.27 to cover class B and C control functions of temperature sensing controls
