General Information

Overview
EN 60730-1:2016/A11:2024 is a CENELEC amendment to EN 60730-1:2016 - Automatic electrical controls, Part 1: General requirements. Prepared by CLC/TC 72, this amendment updates normative references, test notes and several annexes to align Part 1 with current EMC and related electrotechnical publications. It is intended to be used together with the appropriate Part 2 documents for specific control types and is relevant for automatic controls intended for household and similar applications.
Key topics and requirements
- Normative reference changes: deletion of IEC 60947-1 and updates to the normative reference list (Annex ZA) to reflect current EN/IEC equivalents.
- EMC emission updates: Clause 23 is revised to require testing in accordance with CISPR 14-1 and/or CISPR 22 (class B); H.23 replaces references to CISPR 22 with EN 55032 and updates related notes and applicability references.
- Annex and test clarifications:
- Modification to Clause 4 (general notes on tests) - editorial changes to the NOTE introduced in EN 60730-1:2016.
- Annex Q (printed circuit board coating performance test): terminology change from “Adhesion of protection” to “Adhesion of coating” to improve clarity.
- Replacement and expansion of Annex ZA with an updated normative reference table mapping IEC publications to their EN counterparts.
- Bibliography: additional references (e.g., HD 60364 low-voltage installations) added to support application and testing context.
Practical applications and users
Who uses this amendment:
- Manufacturers and designers of automatic electrical controls (thermostats, timers, motor controllers) for household and building-automation products.
- EMC and safety test laboratories conducting emission/immunity testing and conformity assessments.
- Compliance engineers preparing technical files for CE marking or national adoption.
- PCB and component suppliers concerned with coating performance and insulation coordination.
How it’s applied:
- Ensures control products meet up‑to‑date EMC emission expectations (EN 55032 / CISPR family) and harmonizes test references across Europe.
- Guides product development and certification when applying Part 1 together with the relevant Part 2 for the control type.
- Clarifies test terminology and normative references used in conformity and test reports.
Related standards (selection)
- EN 55032 (CISPR 22) - information technology equipment emission
- CISPR 14-1 - emissions for household appliances/electric tools
- IEC/EN 61000 series - EMC immunity and limits
- IEC 60335-1, IEC 60664 series - safety and insulation coordination
Keywords: EN 60730-1:2016/A11:2024, automatic electrical controls, EMC emission, EN 55032, CISPR 14-1, printed circuit board coating, CENELEC compliance, Part 1 general requirements.
