MT 6 - TC 23/SC 23B/MT 6

IEC 60669-2-1:2021 applies to electronic control devices, a general term to cover electronic switches, home and building electronic systems (HBES) / building automation and control systems (BACS) switches and electronic extension units.
It applies to electronic switches and to HBES/BACS switches, for alternating current (AC) only with a rated switching voltage not exceeding 250 V and a rated current not exceeding 16 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors.
It also applies to electronic extension units with a rated supply voltage not exceeding 250 V AC and 120 V DC, such as sensors and push buttons.
This document also applies to electronic remote control switches (RCS) and electronic time delay switches (TDS). Particular requirements are given in Annex FF.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, Amendment 1:2008 and Amendment 2:2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) incorporation of the requirements for HBES switches, previously included in IEC 60669-2-5;
b) modification of 19.106, test and requirements for switches for LEDs;
c) general indication to cover electronic control devices;
d) test for looping through.

IEC TR 63036:2016(E) specifies the electrical interface and test procedures for the control by mains voltage phase-cut dimming of the brightness of mains operated electronic lighting equipment intended to be controlled by mains voltage phase-cut dimmers, such as LED integrated lamps, and light sources with external control gear. Electronic switches that use a comparable circuitry to a phase-cut dimmer but do not contain means for the adjustability of the phase-cut angle should fulfill the same requirements as a phase-cut dimmer. Safety requirements are not covered by this document, but by respective product standards.

Applies to electronic switches and to associated electronic extension units for household and similar fixed electrical installations either indoors or outdoors. The contents of the Interpretation sheet 1 of December 2011 have been included in this copy.

IEC 60669-2-5:2013 applies to HBES switches with a working voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a rated current up to and including 16 A for household and similar fixed electrical installations either indoors or outdoors and to associated electronic extension units.
