Specifies requirements and tests for reed switches for use in general and industrial applications.

This part of IEC62246 which is a blank detail specification defines requirements and tests for reed switches for use in general and industrial applications. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC62246‑1:2015 and specific products standards applying as switching elements. This document selects from IEC62246‑1:2015 and from other sources the appropriate test procedures to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification. Reed switch types are specified depending on characteristic values including functional ratings for safety and tests. NOTE Mercury wetted reed switches are not covered by this document due to their possible environmental impact.
