Automatic electrical controls -
Part 2-11: Particular requirements for energy regulators

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60730-2-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 72: Automatic electrical
controls. It is an International Standard.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2019. 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.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
72/1485/FDIS 72/1501/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60730 series, under the general title: Automatic electrical controls,
can be found on the IEC website.
This part 2-11 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the
basis of the sixth edition of that standard (2022). Consideration may be given to future editions
of, or amendments to, IEC 60730-1.
This part 2-11 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for energy regulators.
Where this part 2-11 states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant require-
ment, test specification or explanatory matter in part 1 should be adapted accordingly.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2, that subclause applies.
In the development of a fully international standard it has been necessary to take into
consideration the differing requirements resulting from practical experience in various parts of
the world and to recognize the variation in national electrical systems and wiring rules.
The reader's attention is drawn to the fact that Annex Q, Annex R, Annex S and Annex T list all
of the "in-some-country" clauses on differing practices of a less permanent nature relating to
the subject of this document.
In this publication:
1) The following print types are used:
– requirements proper: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– explanatory matter: in smaller roman type;
– Defined terms: bold type.
2) Subclauses, notes or items which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101, additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following:
This document applies to energy regulators
• 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
"energy regulators".
• 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 Energy regulators for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment.
• that are smart enabled energy regulators;
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 energy regulators, and
– functional safety of energy regulators of low complexity safety related systems and
controls,
– 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.
– manual energy regulators which are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic
controls.
– energy regulators incorporating electronic devices, requirements for which are contained in
Annex H.
– the electrical and functional safety of controls capable of receiving and responding to
communications signals, including signals for power billing rate and demand response.
The signals can be transmitted to or received from external units being part of the control
(wired), or to and from external units which are not part of the control (wireless) under test.
This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic
energy regulators used in, on, or in association with an equipment.
This document does not
• apply to automatic energy regulators 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 automatic energy regulators intended
specifically for industrial applications in cases where no relevant safety standard exists.
• take into account the response value of an automatic action of an energy regulator, if
such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the energy regulator
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.

Partie 2-11: Exigences particulières pour les régulateurs d'énergie

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Électrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L'IEC a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l'IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l'IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L'IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du
possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l'IEC intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d'études.
3) Les Publications de l'IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l'IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l'IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l'IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l'IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l'IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L'IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation
