This part of IEC 62246 series, which is a generic specification applies to all types of reed switches including magnetically biased reed switches of assessed quality for use in general and industrial applications.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTE 1 Mercury wetted reed switches are not covered by this standard due to their possible environmental impact.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It lists the tests and measurement procedures which may be selected for use in detail specifications for such reed switches. This standard also specifies the quality assessment procedures to be followed.<\/p>\n

This standard applies to reed switches which are operated by an applied magnetic field; it is not restricted to any particular type of contact load.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTE 2 For elementary relays with reed switches, this standard is recommended to be used together with the standards IEC 61810-1 and IEC 61811-1 as applicable.<\/p>\n

NOTE 3 The applications of reed switches can be covered by specific product standards and the use of the IEC 62246 series does not guarantee compliance with those standards.<\/p>\n

NOTE 4 Where any discrepancies occur for any reasons, documents rank in the following order of authority:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    the detail specification,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    the sectional specification,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    the generic specification,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    any other international documents (for example, of the IEC) to which reference is made.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The same order of precedence applies to equivalent national documents.<\/p>\n
