In general, this standard applies to automatic electrical controls for houselold and similar use, including electrical controls for heating, air conditioning, and similar applications. This standard applies to controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 660 V and with a rated current not exceeding 63 A. This standard does not take into account the response value of an automatic action of a control. If such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the 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 household equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer shall apply.

Automatic electrical controls - Part 2-23: Particular requirements for electrical sensors and sensing elements

SIST EN IEC 60730-2-23:2025

IEC 60730-2-23:2025 applies to the safety of electrical, electro-mechanical and electronic sensors including sensing elements and any conditioning circuitry. Sensors covered under the scope of this document serve only to transform an activating quantity into a usable output and do not perform a control operation as defined in IEC 60730-1. This document applies to sensors in so far as defining the reliability and accuracy of their inherent operating characteristics and corresponding response under normal and abnormal conditions within the sensor. Sensors, as defined herein, are used in or as part of an automatic electrical control or as independently mounted devices in connection with controls and control systems. The use of this document for other applications in which sensors are used is possible provided that the appropriate safety is maintained as defined by the end product standard. This document applies to discrete sensors constructed of, but not limited to, conductive, semi-conductive, or substrate, for the detection of activating quantities such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, humidity, light (e.g. optical), gasoline vapours, and the like. NOTE 1 Future consideration will be given to other sensor technologies constructed of other materials such as chemical, mechanical and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), along with other activating quantities like mass flow, liquid, movement, weight, vibration, or other as needed. This document applies to sensing element(s) as well as any electronic hardware, software, or other conditioning circuits that are inherent to the sensor and relied upon to reliably transform the input signal into a useable response signal (output) for functional safety purposes. Conditioning circuits that are inseparable from the control for which the sensing element relies upon to perform its desired function are evaluated by the requirements of the relevant control Part 2 standard and/or IEC 60730-1. NOTE 2 Additional requirements can be also applied by the application standard in which the sensor is used. Throughout this document, whenever it is indicated that the IEC 60730-1 requirements are applicable, the term "control(s)", is replaced by the term "sensor(s)", and the term "equipment" is replaced by the term "control", as they are used in IEC 60730-1, respectively, unless otherwise specified herein. This document does not apply to sensors explicitly described in another relevant part 2 of the IEC 60730 series. NOTE 3 For example, a flame sensor as described in IEC 60730-2-5.
