What is BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 about?
BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 discusses timers and time switches. BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 specifies requirements for timers and time switches that operate an electric switch are controlled by the timing mechanism.
Note 1: BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 applies to timers and time switches that use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof, including heating, air conditioning and similar applications.
Note 2: BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 applicable to individual timers utilized as a part of a control system or timers which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs.
Note 3: BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 does not apply to multi-functional controls having an integrated timing function which is not capable of being tested as a separate timing device.
Note 4: BS EN IEC 60730-2-7 applies to the inherent safety, to the operating characteristics where such are associated with equipment protection and to the testing of timers used in appliances and other apparatus, electrical and non-electrical, for household and similar purposes, but also extended to industrial purposes when no dedicated product standards exist, such as that for central heating, air conditioning, process heating, etc.
