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

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;**• using NTC or PTC thermistors and to discrete thermistors, requirements for which are contained in Annex J;**• that are mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to or controlling a pressure or vacuum;**• as well as manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic controls.**NOTE 2 Requirements for manually actuated mechanical switches not forming part of an automatic control are contained in IEC 61058-1-1.**This document is also applicable to individual pressure sensing controls utilized as part of a control system or pressure sensing controls which are mechanically integral with multi-functional controls having non-electrical outputs.**This document is also applicable to pressure sensing controls for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335-1.**This document applies to**- the inherent safety of pressure sensing controls, and**- functional safety of pressure sensing controls and safety related systems,**- pressure sensing controls where the performance (for example the effect of EMC phenomena) of the product can impair the overall safety and performance of the controlled system,**- the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety.**This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic electrical controls used in, on, or in association with an equipment.**This document does not**• apply to pressure sensing controls intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the relevant part 2 or the equipment standard. However, this document can be applied to evaluate automatic electrical controls intended specifically for industrial applications in cases where no relevant safety standard exists;**• take into account the response value of an automatic action of a pressure sensing control, if such a response value is dependent upon
