BS EN 60730-2-8:2002

What is BS EN 60730-2-8 - Requirements for electrically operated water valves about?  

BS EN 60730-2-8 is a European standard that discusses the electrical and functional safety of electrically operated water valves. 

BS EN 60730-2-8 applies to electrically operated water valves for use in, on or in association with equipment for household and similar use that may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof, including heating, air-conditioning and similar applications. 

BS EN 60730-2-8 contains requirements for electrical features of water valves and requirements for mechanical features of valves that affect their intended operation. 

BS EN 60730-2-8 applies to the inherent safety, to the operating values, operating sequences where such are associated with equipment protection, and to the testing of automatic electrical controls used in, on or in association with household and similar equipment. 

BS EN 60730-2-8 also applies to actuators and to valve bodies which are designed to be fitted to each other. 

BS EN 60730-2-8 applies to individual valves, valves utilized as part of a system and valves mechanically integral with multi-functional controls having non-electrical outputs. 

Note1: Electrically operated valves for equipment not intended for normal household use but which may nevertheless be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry, and on farms, are within the scope of BS EN 60730-2-8. 

Note2: BS EN 60730-2-8 does not apply to electrically operated water valves designed exclusively for industrial applications. 

Note3: BS EN 60730-2-8 does not apply to: 

• Electrically operated water valves of nominal connection size above DN 50 
• Electrically operated water valves for admissible nominal pressure rating above 1,6 MPa 
• Food dispensers 
• Detergent dispensers 
• Steam valves 

Who is BS EN 60730-2-8 - Requirements for electrically operated water valves for? 

BS EN 60730-2-8 on requirements for electrically operated water valves is useful for: 

• Water valves manufacturers and suppliers 
• Quality control personnel 
• Water supplier department 

Why should you use BS EN 60730-2-8 - Requirements for electrically operated water valves?  

BS EN IEC 60730-2-8 specifies requirements for an electrically operated water valve that is the final element of an automatic control loop that automatically regulates water flow, level, or other processes which help you to control water flow and level to eliminate wastage of water. 

BS EN IEC 60730-2-8 specifies safety requirements for an electrically operated water valve that provides protection against electric shock and helps to prevent injuries. 

BS EN IEC 60730-2-8 provides requirements for an electrically operated water valve that help you during manufacturing water valves safely with superior quality. 

BS EN IEC 60730-2-8 provides requirements for electrical features of water valves and requirements for mechanical features of valves that affect their intended operation that help you to determine the performance of water valves.
