This part of IEC 60947 is applicable to the following equipment:
– electromechanical contactors and starters including motor protective switching device
(MPSD);
– actuators of contactor relays;
– contacts dedicated exclusively to the coil circuit of this contactor or this contactor relay;

intended to be connected to distribution circuits, motors circuits and other load circuits, the
rated voltage of which does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC.
This document covers also the assessment procedure for electromechanical overload
protection used in safety applications such as protecting a motor located in explosive
atmosphere from the outside atmosphere: See Annex L.
This document does not apply to:

NOTE 1 The requirements for DC motor starters are under consideration for the next maintenance cycle.
– auxiliary contacts of contactors and contacts of contactor relays. These are covered by
IEC 60947-5-1;
– starter used downstream to frequency drive1;
NOTE 2 Additional requirements for starter used downstream to frequency drive are under consideration for
the next maintenance cycle.
– short-circuit protective device integrated within starters other than MPSDs. This is covered
by IEC 60947-2 and IEC 60947-3;
– the use of the product with additional measure within explosive atmospheres. These are
given in IEC 60079 series;
– embedded software design rules1;
– cyber security aspects. These are covered by IEC 62443 series.
The objective of this document is to state:
a) the characteristics of the equipment;
b) the conditions applicable to the equipment with reference to:
1) its operation and behaviour,
2) its dielectric properties,
3) its degree of protection,
4) its construction including safety measures against electric shock, fire hazard and
mechanical hazard;
c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met, and the methods to
be adopted for these tests;
d) the information to be given with the equipment or in the manufacturer's literature.
