It supersedes the previous edition published in 2001 as CAN/CSA-E60730-2-8 (adopted IEC 60730-2-8:2000). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-E60730-2-8" throughout. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-E60730-1:13, Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 60730-1:2010, with Canadian deviations). This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on International Standards, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided the following direction for the interpretation of standards under its jurisdiction: "The literal text shall be used in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literal text cannot be applied to the product, such as for new materials or construction, and when a relevant CSA committee interpretation has not already been published, CSA Group’s procedures for interpretation shall be followed to determine the intended safety principle.” Scope and normative references This clause of part 1 is applicable as follows: 1.1 This part 2-8 applies to electrically operated water valves for use in, on or in association with equipment for household and similar use, including heating, air-conditioning and similar applications. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof. 1.1.1 This part 2-8 applies to the inherent safety, to the operating values, operating times and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety, and to the testing of automatic electrical control devices used in, on or in association with, household and similar equipment. This part 2-8 contains requirements for electrical features of water valves and requirements for mechanical features of valves that affect their intended operation. This part 2-8 is also applicable to electrically operated water valves for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335. 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 this part 2-8. This part 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;
electrically operated water valves designed exclusively for industrial applications.

"valve" is used to denote an electrically operated water valve (including actuator and valve body assembly);
"actuator" means "electrically operated mechanism or prime mover";
"valve body" means "valve body assembly";
"equipment" includes "appliance" and "control system".
1.1.3 This part 2-8 also applies to actuators and to valve bodies which are designed to be fitted to each other. 1.1.4 This part 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.
