11. Marking & Documentation

• Type designation, rated coil voltage, contact arrangement (e.g. 1NO, 2CO)
• Manufacturer’s logo, date code
• Technical data sheet must specify test conditions per VDE 0580

Section 5: Testing Protocols (Crucial for Labs)

• Type tests (performed once on a sample) vs. Routine tests (performed on every unit).
• The Damp Heat, Steady State test: 21 days at 40°C with 93% humidity.
• Impulse voltage test: Simulating lightning strikes or switching surges.

5. Testing Procedures

The standard outlines specific tests to verify compliance: Title: Navigating DIN VDE 0580: The Essential Standard

Exclusions: Permanent magnet systems without electrically generated flux, transformers, and rotating machinery (covered by DIN VDE 0530). Type designation, rated coil voltage, contact arrangement (e

DIN VDE 0580 establishes mandatory requirements for electromagnetic devices, covering solenoids and actuators used for lifting, braking, or holding with voltages up to 1,000 V. It governs key performance metrics, such as continuous duty cycles (100% ED) and thermal-based input power reductions. Detailed compliance information is available on the DIN Media portal.
