- the inherent safety of automatic electrical controls, and

- functional safety of automatic electrical controls and safety related systems,

- controls where the performance (for example the effect of EMC phenomena) of the product can impair the overall safety and performance of the controlled system,

- the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety.

This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic electrical controls used in, on, or in association with an equipment.
