UL 60730 applies to which products UL certification

SRF 2024-10-14 10:15

With the development of intelligence, household appliances will be equipped with more and more control modules to make household appliances more intelligent, more humanized, or more energy-saving and environment-friendly. When these products are certified by UL or IEC, UL/IEC 60730-1 will be selected. In this article, we will first take a look at the most popular products in the current market that UL/IEC 60730-1 can cover.

UL/IEC 60730-1 Scope:

for products to be UL certified, we first need to know UL/IEC 60730-1. This standard covers those product ranges: all household products with control can be evaluated according to UL/IEC 60730-1. These control products may be applicable to electronic products, natural gas products, oil products, solid fuel products, solar energy, etc...

UL 60730-1 what standards will be replaced in the future?

In North America, UL standards are divided into very fine UL standards for household controller products. In order to be unified with IEC 60730-1 standard, so that UL 60730 standard becomes a coordinated standard, UL 60730 standard is or will replace UL 873, UL 244A, UL 916 and UL 917 in the future.

UL/IEC 60730-1 currently extended to some new products UL certification or commercial certification:

OTA (software online upgrade): In order to ensure the security of the software, UL/IEC 60730 can be used for evaluation.
V-Mark (such as Verify (ul.com) for Internet of Things security): In the Internet of Things field, the user terminal can use UL/IEC 60730 to evaluate the unique performance of its own products, and then UL will send a separate commercial LOGO to the product, thus enhancing the competitiveness of the product.
Reliability (product reliability evaluation, such as product performance, safety and other reliability): some reliability of household control products can also be evaluated by UL/IEC 60730 and a commercial test report can be issued.
Room Thermostat (Smart Thermostat for Smart Home/Energy Efficiency Certification)
sensor, UL certification for sensors (UL releases new sensor standard UL 60730-2-101). In the future, IEC will issue IEC 60730-2-23 based on this standard): At present, many products or systems will use sensors to detect or measure important parameters. UL 60730-2-101 will evaluate the deviation, drift and heat resistance of the sensor from the dimensions of durability, fire resistance, electromagnetic compatibility and tracking corrosion resistance of the sensor, thus ensuring that the sensor can realize safe control in the final product or system.

Timer, UL certification of timer (UL 917 standard fails, timer is determined UL 60730-2-7 assessment).

Smart Plug, UL Certification of Smart Socket or Smart Switch: If the socket or switch contains some intelligent circuits to realize some intelligent control functions, UL Certification shall be carried out according to UL/IEC 60730-1 to evaluate the safety of the product.

CLSB, UL Certification of Building Control System: In the future smart home system, the electric energy consumed by all household appliances will be collected and analyzed through the building controller, and transmitted to APP through wireless technology. While intelligently controlling household appliances, the electric energy consumed by household appliances can also be intelligently analyzed, thus achieving the purpose of more energy saving.
