IEC 61810-1 Electromechanical Basic Relays - Part 1: General and Safety Requirements

This part of the IEC 61810-1 standard applies to electromechanical basic relays (unspecified time-allor-never relays) for inclusion in low-voltage equipment (circuits up to 1 000 V alternating current or 1 500 V direct current).

IEC 61810-1 Electromechanical Basic Relays - Part 1: General and Safety Requirements

It defines key functional and safety requirements and safety considerations for applications in all areas of electrical engineering or electronics, such as:

  • general industrial equipment,
  • electrical facilities,
  • electrical machines,
  • Electrical appliances for household and similar use,
  • Information technology and business equipment,
  • building automation equipment,
  • automation equipment,
  • electrical installation equipment,
  • Medical equipment,
  • control equipment,
  • Telecommunication,
  • Vehicles,
  • Transport (eg railways).

Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the specified type tests. If a relay application specifies additional requirements that exceed those specified in this standard, the relay should be evaluated against the relevant IEC standard(s) (eg IEC 60730-1, IEC 60335-1, IEC).

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2008. This edition is a technical revision. This edition includes the following important technical changes from the previous edition:

Two main testing procedures are introduced: procedure A, which reflects the known procedure from Edition 3 of this standard, and procedure B, which reflects evaluation against North American requirements.
The inclusion of specific device application tests specifically related to applications in the North American Market,
Starting the test under single assembly condition,
Clarification of insulation requirements after durability testing,
Inclusion of provisions for essential security requirements;
Updating references.

IEC 61810-1:2015 applies to electromechanical basic relays (all or nothing relays with unspecified time) for inclusion in low voltage equipment (circuits up to 1000 V alternating current or 1 500 V direct current).
