AVANT-PROPOS
1) La CEI (Commission Électrotechnique Internationale) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de la CEI). La CEI a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, la CEI, entre autres activités, publie des Normes internationales.
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 la CEI, participent également aux travaux. La CEI 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 la CEI concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les documents produits se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales. Ils sont publiés
comme normes, spécifications techniques, rapports techniques ou guides et agréés comme tels par les Comités
nationaux.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'unification internationale, les Comités nationaux de la CEI s'engagent à appliquer de
façon transparente, dans toute la mesure possible, les Normes internationales de la CEI dans leurs normes
nationales et régionales. Toute divergence entre la norme de la CEI et la norme nationale ou régionale
correspondante doit être indiquée en termes clairs dans cette dernière.
5) La CEI n’a fixé aucune procédure concernant le marquage comme indication d’approbation et sa responsabilité
n’est pas engagée quand un matériel est déclaré conforme à l’une de ses normes.
6) L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Norme internationale peuvent faire
l’objet de droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. La CEI ne saurait être tenue pour
responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.
La Norme internationale CEI 60730-2-19 a été établie par le comité d'études 72 de la CEI:
Commandes automatiques pour appareils domestiques.
La présente version consolidée de la CEI 60730-2-19 comprend la première édition (1997)
[documents 72/350/FDIS et 72/373/RVD] et son amendement 1 (2000) [documents
72/467/FDIS et 72/491/RVD].
Le contenu technique de cette version consolidée est donc identique à celui de l'édition de
base et à son amendement; cette version a été préparée par commodité pour l'utilisateur.

Elle porte le numéro d'édition 1.1.
Une ligne verticale dans la marge indique où la publication de base a été modifiée par les
amendement 1.
La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la CEI 60730-1. Elle a été établie sur
la base de la troisième édition (1999) de cette publication. Les éditions ou amendements futurs
de la CEI 60730-1 pourront être pris en compte.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
____________
AUTOMATIC ELECTRICAL CONTROLS FOR HOUSEHOLD

AND SIMILAR USE –
Part 2-19: Particular requirements for electrically operated oil valves,

including mechanical requirements

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60730-2-19 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 72:
Automatic controls for household use.
This consolidated version of IEC 60730-2-19 consists of the first edition (1997) [documents
72/350/FDIS/ and 72/373/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2000) [documents 72/467/FDIS and
72/491/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.

It bears the edition number 1.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.
This Part 2 is intended to be used with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the basis of the third
edition (1999) of that publication. Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amend-
ments to IEC 60730-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for electrically operated
oil valves, including mechanical requirements.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

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 “in some countries” notes regarding differing national practices are contained in the following subclauses:

– 6.103
– table 7.2, requirement 120
– table 7.2, note 102
– 11.103
– 11.104.6
– 11.105.1
– 11.105.2
– 11.113
– 18.102
– H26.10
In this publication:

including mechanical requirements

1 Scope and normative references

This clause of part 1 is not applicable.

Replacement:
1.1 This part 2 of IEC 60730 applies to electrically operated oil valves for use in, on or in
association with equipment for household and similar use that use electricity, in combination
with fuel in the liquid state such as distillates, residual fuels, etc.
This part 2 also applies to electrically operated oil valves using NTC or PTC thermistors,
requirements for which are contained in annex J.
1.1.1 This part 2 applies to the inherent safety, to the operating values, operating times, and
operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety, and to the testing of
electrically operated oil valves used in, or in association with, household or similar equipment.
This part 2 is also applicable to controls for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335-1.
Throughout this part 2 the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment".
This part 2 does not apply to electrically operated oil valves designed exclusively for industrial
applications.
Electrically operated oil valves for equipment not intended for normal household use, but which
nevertheless may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used by laymen in
shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this part 2.
This part 2 identifies a number of mechanical features as "under consideration". Until these
mechanical requirements are incorporated in this part 2, each country using this part 2 will
have to quantify these requirements.
Compliance of an electrically operated oil valve with this part 2 does not imply that the valve is acceptable without
further tests for these mechanical features.
1.1.2 This part 2 applies to manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically

integral with electrically operated oil valves.
Requirements for manual switches not forming part of an electrically operated oil valve are contained in
IEC 61058-1.
This part 2 does not apply to electrically operated oil valves of nominal connection size above
DN 150.
Hereinafter, the term "valve" is used to denote an electrically operated oil valve (including
prime mover and valve body).
1.1.3  An electric actuator that is submitted to the testing laboratory in combination with an oil
valve will be evaluated under this part 2. A separate electric actuator is evaluated under
IEC 60730-2-14, which provides particular requirements for electric actuators.

Part 2-19: Particular requirements for electrically operated oil valves,

including mechanical requirements

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 60730-2-19 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 72:
Automatic controls for household use.
This consolidated version of IEC 60730-2-19 consists of the first edition (1997) [documents
72/350/FDIS/ and 72/373/RVD], its amendment 1 (2000) [documents 72/467/FDIS and
72/491/RVD] and its amendment 2 (2007) [documents 72/745/FDIS and 72/750/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendments and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.2.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendments 1 and 2.
– 4 – 60730-2-19 © IEC:1997+A1:2000

+A2:2007
This Part 2-19 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on
the basis of the third edition of that standard (1999) and its amendment 1 (2003).

Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amendments to IEC 60730-1.

This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to

convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for electrically operated

oil valves, including mechanical requirements.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

Where this part 2 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, part 2 indicates that the relevant clause or 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 “in some countries” notes regarding differing national practice are contained in the following subclauses:
– Table 7.2, requirement 120
– Table 7.2, note 102
– 11.103
– 11.105.1
– 11.105.2
– 11.113
– 18.102
– 27.2.101.1
– H.26.10
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.
2) Subclauses, notes or items which are additional to those in part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date,
the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRICAL CONTROLS FOR HOUSEHOLD

AND SIMILAR USE –
Part 2-19: Particular requirements for electrically operated oil valves,

including mechanical requirements

1 Scope and normative references

This clause of part 1 is not applicable.
Replacement:
1.1 This part 2 of IEC 60730 applies to electrically operated oil valves for use in, on or in
association with equipment for household and similar use that use electricity, in combination
with fuel in the liquid state such as distillates, residual fuels, etc.
This part 2 also applies to electrically operated oil valves using NTC or PTC thermistors,
requirements for which are contained in annex J.
1.1.1 This standard applies to the inherent safety, to the operating values, operating times,
and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety, and to the testing
of electrically operated oil valves used in, or in association with, household or similar
equipment, but also extended to industrial purposes where no dedicated product standard
exists, such as that for central heating, air conditioning, process heating, etc.
This part 2 is also applicable to controls for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335-1.
Throughout this part 2 the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment".
This part 2 does not apply to electrically operated oil valves designed exclusively for industrial
applications.
Electrically operated oil valves for equipment not intended for normal household use, but which
nevertheless may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used by laymen in
shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this part 2.
This part 2 identifies a number of mechanical features as "under consideration". Until these
mechanical requirements are incorporated in this part 2, each country using this part 2 will
have to quantify these requirements.

Compliance of an electrically operated oil valve with this part 2 does not imply that the valve is acceptable without
further tests for these mechanical features.
1.1.2 This part 2 applies to manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically
integral with electrically operated oil valves.
Requirements for manual switches not forming part of an electrically operated oil valve are contained in
IEC 61058-1.
This part 2 does not apply to electrically operated oil valves of nominal connection size above
DN 150.
Hereinafter, the term "valve" is used to denote an electrically operated oil valve (including
prime mover and valve body).

11 Constructional requirements

This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows:

11.3 Actuation and operation
11.3.4 Setting by the manufacturer

Replacement:
Adjustment means shall be secured by means providing protection against access by
uninstructed persons or shall be declared as requiring such protection in the application.
For example, these means may be:
a) sealed with a material suitable for the temperature range of the valve such that tampering is apparent; or
b) accessible only with the use of special purpose tools; or
c) accompanied by instructions requiring the equipment manufacturer to mount the valve such that the adjustment
means is inaccessible.
Compliance is checked by inspection. Where sealing is used, inspection is done before and
after the tests of clause 17.
Additional subclauses:
11.3.4.101 Suitable means for maintaining all adjustments shall be provided.
Lock nuts or adjusting nuts held by springs or compression are acceptable unless their adjustment can be
accidentally disturbed.
11.3.4.102 Means necessary for setting or adjustment during integration, or installation, or
service shall be protected in such a manner as to resist tampering or accidental change.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
11.3.4.103  If a valve can be partially or completely disassembled without the use of special
tools, construction shall be such that either:
a) parts of the valve cannot be readily reassembled improperly in a manner which could result
in an unsafe condition; or
b) threaded fasteners are covered with a sealing means to discourage disassembly. The
sealing means shall be suitable for exposure to the minimum and maximum ambient

temperatures declared for the valve.
This subclause does not apply to parts of a valve intended for replacement or service (as declared in table 7.2,
requirement 111).
Replace this clause as follows:
11.3.9 Pull-cord actuated control
11.3.9.101  Actuation of a manually actuated mechanism of a valve shall not subject parts to
distortion or damage to the extent that their intended function is impaired.
Compliance is checked by operation and inspection.

– 16 – 60730-2-19 © IEC:1997+A1:2000

+A2:2007
11.3.9.102  Moving parts shall be separated from conductors to be connected to the valve by
barriers or by their physical location so that such moving parts are not obstructed by these
conductors.
Compliance is checked by operation and inspection.

Additional subclauses:
11.101
Void.
11.102  For valves intended for exposure to the outdoor environment, the protection of the
electrical parts by the enclosure shall conform to at least IP54 unless that protection is afforded
by the equipment.
Compliance is checked by inspection and the tests of IEC 60529 after pre-conditioning of a
sample as indicated in clause 12.
11.103 Normally closed (normally open) valves shall be constructed to assume the de-
energized position at reduced supply voltage.
Compliance is checked by connecting the normally closed (normally open) valve to the supply
at rated voltage, at room temperature and when mounted in the most unfavourable position
declared in Table 7.2, requirement 31, and with or without oil at the maximum working pressure
connected to the valve inlet, whichever is more unfavourable. The voltage is then slowly
reduced to 15 % of the minimum rated voltage. Before this value is reached, the valve shall
have closed (opened) automatically.
The test is repeated three times.
In the USA and Canada, for d.c. valves, the voltage is slowly reduced to 2 % of the minimum rated voltage.
The value of 15 % is based on the usual normally closed valves where remanence, friction and possible rest
currents due to control and signalling circuits can influence the closing force.
11.104 Miscellaneous construction requirements
11.104.1 For normally closed, normally open and safety shutoff valves of the automatic type,
there shall be no exposed shafts or operating levers where interference could affect the ability
of the valve to close.
11.104.2 Holes for screws, pins, etc., which are used for the assembly of parts or used to
install the valve shall not penetrate oil passageways.

11.104.3 Parts of the valve that directly or indirectly separate an oil-carrying compartment
from the atmosphere shall be manufactured only of metallic materials with a melting point of
not less than 450 °C.
Soldering or other processes where the jointing material has a melting point below 450 °C after
application shall not be used for joining oil-carrying parts.
11.104.4 Holes necessary in manufacture which connect oil passageways to the atmosphere
but which do not affect the function of the valve shall be permanently sealed by metallic means.
Suitable jointing compounds may additionally be used.

+A2:2007
11.104.5 The valve shall be constructed such that leak-tightness in accordance with 11.108
will be achieved by mechanical means (for example, metal to metal joints, o-rings).

If the manufacturer specifies servicing or maintenance which requires access or disassembly,
leak-tightness shall also be maintained after the specified disassembly and reassembly.

11.104.6 Springs shall be protected against abrasion and guided or arranged to minimize
binding, buckling, or other interference with their free movement.

11.104.7 Any part in contact with oil shall be resistant to its action.
11.104.8 For pneumatically or hydraulically actuated valves, where the blockage of an orifice
can adversely affect the closing or opening in case of normally open valves, protection to avoid
any such blockage shall be provided.
11.104.9 Parts of valves coming in contact with a diaphragm shall not have sharp edges
which might chafe or abrade it.
11.104.10 A valve utilizing threaded end connections shall be designed to accept a spanner
for assembly and disassembly to piping or tubing.
11.104.11 Threaded fasteners which attach operating parts to movable members shall be
prevented from loosening.
Examples of acceptable means are lock nuts, adjusting nuts held by springs, upset threads.
11.104.12 Compliance of 11.104.1 to 11.104.11, inclusive is checked by inspection.
11.104.13 A valve which utilizes a flexible diaphragm, bellows, or similar construction as the
only fluid seal, shall have the atmospheric side enclosed in a casing to limit external leakage in
the event of diaphragm or bellows rupture or have provision for connection of pipe or tubing.
Compliance is checked by rupturing the diaphragm or bellows and measuring the leakage
according to 11.108.2.
Leakage through an unthreaded vent opening is included. Leakage through a vent opening which has provision for
connection of pipe or tubing is not included.
11.105 Piping and tubing connections

11.105.1 When threaded for connection to pipe, the inlet and outlet shall have pipe threads
conforming to ISO 7-1 or to ISO 228-1.
When for connection to tubing, the connections together with the fittings used shall be in
accordance with the applicable dimensioning standard for copper tubing of circular section.
In the USA and Canada, pipe threads shall comply with ANSI/ASME Bl.20.1 and tubing connections with ANSI/SAE
J512 or J514 specifications.
Oil valves with connection sizes greater than DN 80 or 3 inches shall utilize flanged
