BS EN 61810-2:2017 covers test conditions and provisions for the evaluation of endurance
tests using appropriate statistical methods to obtain reliability characteristics for relays.
This document applies to electromechanical elementary relays considered as non-repaired
items (i.e. items which are not repaired after failure).
The lifetime of a relay is usually expressed in number of cycles (CTF). Therefore, whenever
the terms "time" or "duration" are used in IEC 61649, they carry the meaning "cycles".
However, with a given frequency of operation, the number of cycles can be transformed into
respective times (e.g. times to failure (TTF)).
The failure criteria and the resulting characteristics of elementary relays describing their
reliability in normal use are specified in this document. A relay failure occurs when the
specified failure criteria are met.
As the failure rate for elementary relays cannot be considered as constant, particularly due to
wear-out mechanisms, the cycles to failure of tested items typically show a Weibull
distribution. This document provides numerical and graphical methods to calculate
approximate values for the two-parameter Weibull distribution, as well as lower confidence
limits and a method for confirmation of reliability values with the WeiBayes method.
This document does not cover procedures for electromechanical elementary relays where
enhanced requirements for the verification of reliability apply.
