Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is a European Standard developed by CLC for household and similar electrical appliances, focusing on the safety of vaporizers. Applicable to appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, including direct current (DC) and battery-operated models, this amendment enhances the safety requirements for vaporizers used in domestic environments. The standard updates and supplements previous versions to address contemporary safety concerns, particularly for vulnerable users such as children, people with disabilities, and the presence of domestic animals, ensuring a higher level of protection for all users.
Key Topics
Extended User Safety
The amendment introduces updated requirements and clear instructions for the safe use of electrical vaporizers by individuals with disabilities and children, as well as considerations for domestic animals in the household.Revised Marking and Instructions
Specific provisions are included for product marking and user instructions, ensuring users are adequately informed about hazards and safe operation practices. Notable points:- Appliances may be used by children aged 8 and above under supervision
- People with reduced capabilities may use appliances with proper instruction
- Clear warnings on keeping appliances out of reach of children under 8 and domestic animals
- Recommendations on preventing children and pets from playing with appliances
- Guidance on safe placement and cord management
- Restriction on cleaning and maintenance by children
Domestic Safety Alignment
The standard directly supports the European Union’s domestic safety objectives, specifically addressing reasonably foreseeable hazards arising from typical use in and around the home.Amendment to Previous Standards
This amendment supersedes earlier versions, harmonizing requirements with key directives and integrating with the EN IEC 60335 series for electrical safety.
Applications
This standard applies to a wide range of electrical vaporizers used for household and similar purposes, including:
- Humidifiers and aromatherapy vaporizers in living spaces, bedrooms, and offices
