Automatic electrical controls - Part 2-7: Particular requirements for timers and time switches

Edition date: 2026-04-07
In Force
Available languages: English, French
Summary: IEC 60730-2-7:2026 applies to timers and time switches:
- 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 "timer or time switches".
NOTE 2 Throughout this document, the word "timers" means timers and time switches, unless the type is specifically mentioned.
- for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484 series and IEC 63044 series (HBES/BACS);
- or equipment that is used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications;
- that are smart enabled controls;
- that are AC or DC powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC;
- utilized as part of a control system or controls which are mechanically integral with multifunctional controls having non-electrical outputs;
- as well as manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic controls.
NOTE 3 Requirements for manually actuated mechanical switches not forming part of an automatic control are contained in IEC 61058-1-1.
This document applies to
- the inherent safety of timers and time switches, and
- functional safety of timers and time switches and safety related systems,
- timers and time switches 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,
- timers for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335 series.
- manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with timers.
This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of timers and time switches used in, on, or in association with an equipment.
This document does not
- apply to time-delay switches (TDS) within the scope of IEC 60669-2-3;
- include devices which only indicate time or passage of time;
- apply to multi-functional controls having an integrated timing function which is not capable of being tested as a separate timing device.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
adoption of IEC 60730-1:2022 (Ed.6.0) with all of its significant changes to IEC 60730 1:2010 (Ed.4).
This part 2-7 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition of that standard (2022). Consideration can be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 60730 1.
This part 2-7 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for timers and time switches.
Where this part 2-7 states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant requirement, test specification or explanatory matter in part 1 should be adapted accordingly.
Where no change is necessary, part 2-7 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause applies

- qui sont des dispositifs de commande à courant alternatif ou continu dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 690 V en courant alternatif ou 600 V en courant continu;
- qui sont utilisés dans le cadre d'un système de commande ou de dispositifs de commande qui sont mécaniquement intégrés à des dispositifs de commande multifonctions comportant des sorties non électriques;
ainsi qu'aux dispositifs de commande manuels qui sont électriquement et/ou mécaniquement intégrés à des dispositifs de commande automatique.
NOTE 3 Les exigences relatives aux interrupteurs mécaniques à action manuelle qui ne font pas partie d'un dispositif de commande automatique sont contenues dans l'IEC 61058-1-1.
Le présent document s'applique
- à la sécurité intrinsèque des minuteries et des minuteries cycliques, et
- à la sécurité fonctionnelle des minuteries et des minuteries cycliques et aux systèmes de sécurité,
- aux minuteries et minuteries cycliques pour lesquelles les performances (par exemple, l'effet des phénomènes CEM) du produit peuvent compromettre la sécurité et les performances globales du système commandé,
- aux valeurs de fonctionnement, aux temps de fonctionnement et aux séquences de fonctionnement lorsque ces éléments interviennent dans la sécurité du matériel,
- aux minuteries destinées aux appareils relevant du domaine d'application de la série IEC 60335.
- aux dispositifs de commande manuels qui sont électriquement et/ou mécaniquement intégrés à des minuteries.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la construction, au fonctionnement et aux essais des minuteries et minuteries cycliques utilisées dans, sur ou avec des matériels.
Le présent document
- ne s'applique pas aux interrupteurs temporisés (TDS, Time-Delay Switches) qui relèvent du domaine d'application de l'IEC 60669-2-3;
- ne couvre pas les appareils qui n'indiquent que le temps ou le temps écoulé;
- ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs de commande multifonctions dont la fonction de minuterie intégrée ne peut pas être soumise aux essais comme un dispositif de minuterie séparé.
Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2015. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) adoption de l'IEC 60730-1:2022 (Ed.6.0) avec toutes ses modifications significatives apportées à l'IEC 60730‑1:2010 (Ed.4).
