Annotation

This part of IEC 60730 applies to electric actuators for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household and similar use for heating, air-conditioning and ventilation. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof.

This part 2 applies to electric actuators using NTC or PTC thermistors, additional requirements for which are contained in annex J.

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 electric actuators used in, on or in association with, equipment for household and similar use for heating, air-conditioning and ventilation.

Requirements for specific operating values, operating times and operating sequences may be given in the standards for appliances and equipment.

Throughout this part 2 the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment".

Electric actuators 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 does not apply to electric actuators designed exclusively for industrial applications.

This part 2 does not apply to electric actuators which are mechanically integral with valves.
