IEC 60730-2-6:2025 applies to automatic electrical pressure sensing controls
• 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 "pressure sensing controls".
• for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484 series and IEC 63044 series (HBES/BACS);
EXAMPLE 1 Independently mounted automatic electrical pressure sensing controls, controls in smart grid systems and controls for building automation systems within the scope of ISO 16484-2.
• 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 2 Automatic electrical pressure sensing controls for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment.
• that are smart enabled automatic electrical pressure sensing controls;
EXAMPLE 3 Smart grid automatic electrical pressure sensing controls, 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;

Automatic electrical controls -
Part 2-6: Particular requirements for automatic electrical pressure
sensing controls 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 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 referen
