(Main)Fans - Safety requirements
Fans - Safety requirements
This document is applicable to all types of fans other than fans that are household appliances intended for household and similar purposes. The fan can be either a complete machine or a partly completed machine intended to be incorporated into/or assembled with other machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment.
NOTE Fans intended for household purposes are typically used on desks, ceilings, free standing or, partitions (e.g. window and wall fans) and ducts not listing here built in components for other household appliances. They are assumed to have mainly electricity related risks. These fans are in the scope of the EN 60335 series. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless because of their similar use may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended for use in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of the EN 60335 series of standards.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to fans during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning and use as well as decommissioning as defined in EN ISO 12100:2010, Annex B, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document applies to electrically driven fans and, apart from the hazards related to the drives, it also applies to fans driven from other energy sources.
Further safety measures might be required for the additional hazards due to the application.
This document does not deal with the hazards due to the use of fans in a potentially explosive atmosphere (see e.g. EN 14986).
