1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
Replacement:
This part of IEC 60730 applies to the safety of electrical, electro-mechanical and electronic
sensors
including sensing
elements and any conditioning circuitry. Sensors covered under the scope of this document serve only to transform an
activating quantity into a usable output and do not perform a control operation as defined in IEC 60730‑1 .
This document applies to sensors in so far as defining the reliability and accuracy of their inherent operating characteristics
and
corresponding response under normal and abnormal conditions within the sensor . Sensors , as defined herein, are used in or as part of an automatic electrical
control or as independently mounted devices in connection with controls and control
systems.
The use of this document for other applications in which sensors are used is possible provided that the appropriate safety is maintained as
defined by the end product standard. This document applies to discrete sensors constructed of, but not limited t...
