EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is a CENELEC European amendment to the safety standard for household and similar electrical vaporizers. It applies to electric vaporizers with a rated voltage not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances, and it updates the safety text for use in and around the home.
What does EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 specify?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 modifies EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026 rather than replacing it as a complete product standard. It keeps the focus on vaporizers for household and similar use and updates the way the standard treats foreseeable use by people and domestic animals.
The document is organized as a short amendment with five modification clauses, plus annexes and a bibliography update.

What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026?
The main effect of EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is to broaden the safety wording around household use, user information, and related references. For a manufacturer or test lab, the practical impact is mostly on scope checking, instructions, and the supporting measurement standard.
Clause 1 revises the scope wording. EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 says the document covers reasonably foreseeable hazards from intended use that can be encountered by all persons and domestic animals in and around the home. In practice, safety assessment is not limited to the normal adult user - it also has to consider the home environment and likely interactions with children and pets.
Clause 1 adds an exclusion for directly inhalable aerosols. EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 points this type of appliance to EN IEC 60335-2-120. In practice, product classification matters before testing starts, because the wrong part of the 60335 series may lead to the wrong safety checks.
Clause 7.12 updates the instructions that must be supplied. EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 requires instruction content covering supervised use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, supervision of children and domestic animals, keeping the cord from hanging over the edge of a table or counter when unattended, and preventing children from carrying out cleaning and user maintenance. In practice, the user manual and safety wording need to match these points.
Annex ZA adds IEC 60584-1 to the normative references. EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 brings in the thermocouple EMF specifications and tolerances used for temperature measurement. In practice, test equipment and temperature readings need to follow the referenced thermocouple standard.
The amendment ties the document to the updated Part 1 and Part 2 framework. EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is read with EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026, and it supplements or modifies EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+A12:2026. In practice, conformity work needs both the generic appliance safety rules and the vaporizers-specific requirements.
What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 define?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 uses a small set of safety terms in a specific way within its scope and instructions.
- Vaporizers - Electric appliances covered by Part 2-101 for household and similar use.
- Rated voltage - The voltage limit used to define the scope of the standard, set at not more than 250 V.
- Direct current (DC) - A supply type explicitly included in the scope when the appliance is DC supplied.
- Intended use - The normal use of the appliance that the revised scope ties to safety assessment.
- Reasonably foreseeable hazards - Hazards that can be expected from intended use in the home environment.
- Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities - Users who may only use the appliance under supervision or instruction from a responsible person.
- Domestic animals - Animals in and around the home that the revised scope says must be considered.
Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is used by manufacturers of electric vaporizers, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, and compliance or quality managers working with household appliances. It is also useful for technical writers who prepare instructions and warnings, and for buyers or specifiers who need a clear safety basis for procurement.
In practice, these users apply it to product design, type testing, instruction review, and documentation checks for European market access.
What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 from the previous edition?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 supersedes EN 60335-2-101:2002+A1:2008+A2:2014. The amendment states that it introduces requirements and instructions for children, people with disabilities and domestic animals.
It also:
- revises the Introduction by deleting a wording item,
- changes the scope text in Clause 1,
- updates Clause 7.12 instruction content,
- adds IEC 60584-1 to Annex ZA,
- and adds several references to the Bibliography, including IEC 60335-2-15, IEC 60335-2-59, IEC 60335-2-85, IEC 60335-2-98, IEC 60584-1 and EN IEC 60335-2-120.
Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is used together with EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026 and the Part 1 standard EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+A12:2026. EN IEC 60335-2-120 is named for appliances that generate directly inhalable aerosols and is used as the exclusion reference in the scope.
IEC 60584-1 contributes thermocouple EMF specifications and tolerances for temperature measurement. The bibliography also cites IEC 60335-2-15, IEC 60335-2-59, IEC 60335-2-85 and IEC 60335-2-98 as related appliance standards.
What does the EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 document contain?
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is a compact amendment document. Its contents page shows a European foreword, five numbered modification clauses, and annexes covering normative references and relationship statements.
The body of the amendment gives the revised wording for the Introduction, Scope, and Marking and instructions, including the updated Clause 7.12 instruction text. It also updates the annexes and the Bibliography so that readers can align testing, instructions, and references with the amended safety text.
