IEC 60335-2-96:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60335-2-96:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 60335-2-96:2019 traite de la sécurité des films souples chauffants destinés à être intégrés aux planchers, aux murs au-dessous d'une hauteur de 1,2 m et au-dessus d'une hauteur de 2,3 m ainsi qu'aux plafonds, leur tension assignée ne dépassant pas 250 V pour les installations monophasées et 480 V pour les autres installations. Les films souples chauffants sont convertis en unités chauffantes qui sont intégrées au bâti conformément aux instructions relatives à l'installation après laquelle le niveau de protection contre les dangers est atteint. L'attention est attirée sur le fait que: – dans de nombreux pays, différentes règles de câblage s'appliquent; – pour les unités chauffantes destinées à être utilisées dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires; – dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les organismes nationaux responsables de la protection anti-incendie, les organismes nationaux responsables de la réglementation des constructions, les autorités sanitaires nationales, les organismes nationaux en charge de la protection des travailleurs et des organismes analogues. La présente norme ne s'applique pas: – aux unités chauffantes prévues exclusivement pour des usages industriels; – aux unités chauffantes destinées à être utilisées dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz); – aux couvertures, coussins, vêtements et appareils chauffants souples analogues (IEC 60335-2-17); – aux chancelières et carpettes chauffantes électriques (IEC 60335-2-81); – aux tapis chauffants et aux unités chauffantes pour le chauffage des locaux, installés sous des revêtements de sol amovibles (IEC 60335-2-106); – aux films souples chauffants intégrés dans d'autres appareils. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2002, l'Amendement 1:2003 et l'Amendement 2:2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à la première édition: – mise en correspondance du texte avec l'IEC 60335-1, Ed 5, et ses Amendements 1 et 2; – certaines notes ont été converties en texte normatif ou supprimées (5.6, 7.12.1, 10.1, 11.2.103, 13.1, 13.2, 16.2, 16.3, 18.101, 18.102.5, 21.1, 22.103, 22.105, 22.106); – l'essai de rigidité diélectrique des unités chauffantes comprenant les câbles isolés destinés à être installés dans les planchers a été modifié (21.103); – le domaine d'application et des exigences spécifiques ont été ajoutés pour les unités chauffantes installées dans les murs au-dessous d'une hauteur de 1,2 m (6.2, 7.1, 7.12.1, 7.12.6, 7.101, 11.2, 19.2, 22.106, 24.102, Annexe AA).

Part 2-96: Particular requirements for flexible
sheet heating elements for room heating
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the m
