This document applies to electrically operated water valves
• 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 "control" means "electrically operated water valve".
EXAMPLE 1 Electrically operated water valves for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335.
• for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484 series and IEC 63044 series (HBES/BACS);
EXAMPLE 1 Independently mounted water valves, 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 Electrically operated water valves for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment.
• that are smart enabled electrically operated water valves;
EXAMPLE 3 Smart grid control, remote interfaces/control of energy-consuming equipment including computer or smart phone.
• that are AC or DC powered electrically operated water valves 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 responsive to or controlling such characteristics as temperature, pressure, passage of time, humidity, light, electrostatic effects, flow, or liquid level, current, voltage, acceleration, or combinations thereof;
• actuators and to valve bodies which are designed to be fitted to each other.
• 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
