Overview
IEC 60730-2-13:1995/AMD2:2000 is an important amendment published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) concerning automatic electrical controls for household and similar use. Specifically, this amendment addresses particular requirements for humidity sensing controls under Part 2-13 of the IEC 60730 series. It updates constructional requirements, testing procedures, and compliance criteria aimed at ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operation of humidity-sensitive automatic controls in household environments.
This amendment refines definitions and replacements from the base standard to suit the specific operational characteristics of humidity sensors, including additional provisions related to manufacturing tolerances, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and abnormal operation scenarios, thereby enhancing product safety and performance.
Key Topics
Humidity sensing control definition: Identification and classification of humidity sensing devices used for automatic control in domestic appliances, replacing older terminology such as "energy regulator" for clarity.
Constructional requirements: Modifications to Part 1 stipulations, including country-specific provisions (e.g., in the US, capacitors cannot be connected across Type 2 control contacts), to meet performance and safety needs.
Manufacturing tolerances and drift: Specified guidelines for declaring and managing manufacturing deviations and operational drift, with unique testing requirements ensuring reliable humidity control settings.
Testing and evaluation: Enhanced test procedures to verify influence from voltage fluctuations, electromagnetic disturbances (including radiated electromagnetic fields), transient oscillations, and the effects of DC components in AC networks.
Compliance evaluation: Clear conformity criteria for humidity controls, supported by rigorous functional tests under declared operating conditions to validate performance robustness.
Abnormal operation requirements: Provisions ensuring that devices can maintain safe and dependable functionality when exposed to abnormal or disturbed conditions.
Minimum cycle life: Defined endurance tests for humidity sensing controls in humidification and dehumidification modes, with thresholds based on control types and operational modes (manual, motorized, magnetic, etc.), to assure durability.
Applications
IEC 60730-2-13 Amendment 2 serves as a critical technical benchmark for manufacturers, testers, and certifiers of household electrical appliances incorporating humidity sensing controls. Common applications include:
HVAC systems: Automated humidity controls for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to optimize indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
Dehumidifiers and humidifiers: Ensuring accurate sensing and control to maintain desired humidity levels safely without causing damage or safety risks.
Smart home appliances: Integration of humidity sensors in appliances such as dryers, refrigerators, and air purifiers requiring automatic climate control.
Safety-critical devices: Humidity sensors that interact directly with electrical switching mechanisms, ensuring they meet stringent safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
Quality assurance and product certification: Manufacturers rely on this standard for compliance with international safety and performance regulations, facilitating market access and consumer trust.
Related Standards
IEC 60730-1 (Automatic electrical controls for household use - Part 1: General requirements): Outlines the foundational general requirements that apply to all automatic controls, complemented by the specific Part 2-13 requirements for humidity sensing.
IEC 60730 series: Other parts addressing controls for temperature, time, and other physical parameters, offering comprehensive coverage of household automatic controls.
EMC Standards (e.g., IEC 61000 series): Related standards for electromagnetic compatibility referenced to ensure immunity and emission criteria are met by humidity sensing devices under various environmental conditions.
National and regional standards: Specific country-level adaptations and additional requirements, such as those applying uniquely in the United States and Canada, often are harmonized with or derived from IEC 60730 provisions.
This amendment provides manufacturers and regulators with detailed guidance on design, testing, and certification practices for humidity sensing automatic controls in household appliances, enhancing safety, reliability, and global market compatibility. By adhering to IEC 60730-2-13:1995/AMD2:2000, stakeholders ensure their humidity control devices operate efficiently while meeting stringent international safety and performance benchmarks.
