Annotation

This clause of part 1 is replaced as follows:

Replacement:

This part 2 of IEC 60730 applies to electrically operated gas valves for use in, on or in association with, equipment for household and similar use that use electricity, in combination with fuel in the gaseous state such as manufactured gas, natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas intended to be used for gas burning equipment.

Additional considerations may be necessary for gas with corrosive properties.

This part 2 also applies to electrically operated gas valves using NTC or PTC thermistors, 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 electrically operated gas 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 gas valves designed exclusively for industrial applications.

Electrically operated gas 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.
