CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60730-2-13, Automatic electrical controls – Part 2-13: Particular requirements for humidity sensing controls, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60730-2-13 (third edition, 2017-10). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CSA C22.2 No. 60730-2-13” throughout. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA E60730-1:15, Automatic electrical controls – Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 60730-1:2013, with Canadian deviations); Amendment 1:2017 to CSA E60730-1:15 (adopted IEC Amendment 1:2015, with Canadian deviations); and Amendment 2:2021 to CSA E60730-1:15 (adopted IEC Amendment 2:2020, with Canadian deviations). This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:

1.1 Scope Replacement: This part of IEC 60730 applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls for use in, on or in association with equipment, including controls for heating, air-conditioning and similar applications. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof.

NOTE Throughout this standard, the word “equipment” includes “appliance” and “control system”. This International Standard is applicable to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls forming part of a building automation control system within the scope of ISO 16484. This standard also applies to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls for equipment that may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications. This standard does not apply to automatic electrical humidity sensing controls intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the equipment standard.

1.1.2 Replacement: This standard applies to automatic electrical controls, mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to or controlling humidity.

1.1.3 Not applicable.
