Information technology — Home Electronic System (HES) application model — Part 5: A safety framework and guidelines for control and data communication messages
Scope: This document addresses the safety of persons and premises when using devices and appliances ("products") with interfaces to a communications network in a home or building ("premises"). Such products are called "networked appliances" and "networked products." This document specifies basic requirements for safer operation of products that can be controlled remotely via a connection to a communications network. The network can enable such products to form integrated applications. These products can interact via the premises network and can be controlled remotely from within the premises and from a wide area network outside connected to the premises network via a communications gateway.
Recommendations and methods for remote-control message screening and guidelines for selecting messages to minimize risk are specified. These specifications can enhance safety in a home control system (hcs).
The safety requirements specified in this document apply together with any relevant product safety standards.

Scope: IEC 60730-2-7:2015(E) applies to timers and time switches for household and similar use that may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof, including heating, air conditioning and similar applications. This standard is also applicable to individual timers utilized as part of a control system or timers which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs. This standard does not apply to time-delay switches (TDS) within the scope of IEC 60669-2-3. This standard 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. Timers 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 standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. This third edition constitutes a technical revision. This new edition revises the compliance criteria of type 1.S and 2.S action, revises the requirements for filament lamp loads, adds requirements for abnormal operation in Annex H, removes some special requirements for single countries as well as updates the standard to IEC 60730-1:2010, fourth edition.
