Overview
IEC 60730-2-13:1995/AMD2:2000 is Amendment 2 to the international standard that specifies particular requirements for automatic electrical humidity sensing controls intended for household and similar uses. Developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment provides essential clarifications, updates, and national differences to IEC 60730-2-13, strengthening the safety, testing, and compliance requirements for humidity controllers in home appliances. The scope covers both standalone humidity-sensitive controllers and those integrated into equipment.
Key Topics
Definitions and Scope
This amendment revises certain definitions in line with modern terminology, such as replacing references to 'energy regulators' with 'humidity sensing controls.' It extends the applicability of certain requirements and clarifies their use in different regulatory regions.Constructional Requirements
Updates include more precise guidance for construction, especially with reference to the connection of capacitors in certain control types and specific U.S. requirements for Type 2 action controls.Operational Testing
Amendments address test procedures for humidity controls, emphasizing comprehensive testing both when the device is in the declared condition and when it is not. This ensures reliability under different operational scenarios.Tolerance and Manufacturing Deviation
The amendment allows greater flexibility for manufacturers by enabling separate declarations of tolerance and drift values from the declared operating value. This helps ensure accurate product specification and performance.Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Enhanced EMC requirements are included, with specific references to emission and immunity tests for electronic humidity controls. Manufacturers are given the option to request testing under declared conditions to better reflect real-world operations.National Differences
The amendment specifies where requirements may vary by country, notably in the United States and Canada, ensuring local compliance and acceptance in key markets.Cycle Endurance Requirements
Updated minimum cycle requirements for independently-mounted controls, as well as those mounted on flexible cords, especially relevant in North America.
Applications
IEC 60730-2-13:1995/AMD2:2000 is applicable to:
- Household Appliances: Including humidifiers, dehumidifiers, HVAC systems, and dryers equipped with automatic humidity controls.
- Integrated Controls: Components embedded within larger electronic appliances that monitor and regulate humidity.
- Standalone Devices: Independent humidity sensing and control units used in domestic environments.
- Testing Laboratories and Compliance Assessment: Ensuring products meet international safety and performance standards for electrical humidity sensing controls.
Related Standards
- IEC 60730-1: Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use - General requirements. Part 1 serves as the foundation for all subsequent parts and amendments.
- IEC 60730-2-X Series: Various parts of the IEC 60730-2 series provide requirements for particular types of automatic controls (temperature, time, or humidity, among others).
- ISO/IEC Guide 51: For terminology and general safety aspects in standards development.
- IEC 61000 Series: Standards for electromagnetic compatibility - complements the EMC requirements referenced in this amendment.
Summary:
IEC 60730-2-13:1995/AMD2:2000 is a key international amendment that supports manufacturers, testing labs, and regulatory bodies in ensuring that humidity sensing controls meet stringent safety, performance, and EMC requirements. Adherence to this standard enhances product reliability, safety, and global market acceptance, particularly in the competitive household appliance sector.
