Foreword
The text of document 61/3564/FDIS, future edition 7 of IEC 60335-2-7, prepared by IEC Technical
Committee 61, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote.
A draft amendment was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 61, Safety of household
and similar electrical appliances. It was discussed during the meetings of CENELEC TC 61 in Malaga in
June 2007, in Berlin in November 2007, in Kista in June 2008 and in London in December 2008, when it
was decided to submit a draft for an amendment to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
The combined texts were approved by CENELEC as EN 60335-2-7 on 2009-11-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60335-2-7:2003 + corr. July 2003 + A1:2004 + A2:2006.
The principal changes compared to EN 60335-2-7:2003 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– the text of some notes has been converted to normative text;
– the spillage test has been made applicable to all washing machines (15.2);
– additional requirements concerning the accessibility of mechanical release mechanisms have been
added (22.105);
– requirements for washing machines employing an electrolyte, instead of detergent, have been
introduced in Annex CC.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates are applicable:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2010-11-01
- date on which national standards
conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2014-11-01
This part 2 has to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1, Household and similar electrical appliances –
Safety – Part 1: General requirements. It was established on the basis of the 2002 edition of that

such changes become applicable will be stated in the relevant amendment or revision of Part 1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 60335-1, so as to convert it into the
European Standard: Safety requirements for electric washing machines.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies as far as is
reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of
Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 1 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a
replaced clause or subclause;

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60335-2-7:2008 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
1 Scope
p Replace by:
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This European Standard deals with the safety of electric washing machines for household and similar
use, that are intended for washing clothes and textiles, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for
single-phase washing machines and 480 V for other washing machines, in this standard generally
referred to as appliances.
This standard also deals with the safety of electric washing machines for household and similar use
employing an electrolyte instead of detergent. Additional requirements for these appliances are given in
Annex CC.
Appliances not designed for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to
the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, on farms and for communal use
in blocks of flats are within the scope of this standard.
This standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all
persons in and around the home. However, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
• lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction,
– children playing with the appliance.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended to be used in laundrettes,
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes (EN ISO 10472-2),
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence
of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for washing machines intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary,
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible
for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities,
– for washing machines having a separate spin container for water extraction, EN 60335-2-4 is also applicable,
– for washing machines having a drying function, EN 60335-2-11 is also applicable,
– if an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered by another Part 2 of EN 60335,
the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on
the other is taken into account.

2 Normative refrerences
p Delete the reference to IEC 60456.
3 Definitions
p Add:
3.Z101
washing machine
appliance for cleaning and rinsing of textiles using water which may also have a means of extracting
excess water from the textiles
3.Z102
agitator washing machine
washing machine in which the textiles are substantially immersed in the washing water, the mechanical
action being produced by a device moving about or along its vertical axis with a reciprocating motion (an
agitator). This device usually extends above the maximum water level
3.Z103
horizontal drum washing machine
washing machine in which the textiles are placed in a horizontal or inclined drum and partially immersed
in the washing water, the mechanical action being produced by rotation of the drum about its axis, the
movement being either continuous or periodically reversed
3.Z104
impeller washing machine
washing machine in which the textiles are substantially immersed in the washing water, the mechanical
action being produced by a device rotating about its axis continuously or reversing after a number of
revolutions (an impeller). The uppermost point of this device is substantially below the minimum water
level
3.Z105
washer-dryer
washing machine which includes also a means for drying the textiles, usually by heating and tumbling
3.Z106
spin extraction
water-extracting function by which water is removed from textiles by centrifugal force. This is usually
included as a function of a washing machine
11 Heating
p 11.7 In the paragraph starting with “The rest period”, delete the words “,including any braking time,”.
15 Moisture resistance
p 15.2 Add before the last paragraph:
For appliances having a working surface, the test is repeated with the appliance tilted at an angle of 2° in
relation to the position of normal use in the direction which is likely to be the most unfavourable.
The lid of top loading appliances is considered as a working surface if it is flat enough to put something
on.
18 Endurance
p 18.101 In the last paragraph, replace “20.103 to 20.105” by “20.103 and 20.104”.
19 Abnormal operation

20 Stability and mechanical hazards
p 20.101 Replace by:
20.101 For appliances of the drum type, the drum drive motor shall be de-energized before the opening
of the lid or door exceeds 50 mm.
If a removable or sliding lid is provided, the motor shall be de-energized as soon as the lid is removed or
displaced and it shall not be possible to start the motor unless the lid is in the closed position.
Compliance is checked by measurement and inspection.
p 20.103 Replace by:
20.103 For appliances of the drum type, it shall only be possible to energize the drum drive motor when
the lid or door is in the closed position.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test using test probe B of IEC 61032 in an attempt to
override the locking function.
p 20.104 Replace by:
20.104 It shall not be possible to open the lid or door of an appliance while the drum speed exceeds
60 r/min.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated empty or filled as specified for normal
operation, whichever is more unfavourable. The force determined during the test of 22.104 with the lid or
door locked is applied to the lid or door in an attempt to open it.
It shall not be possible to open the lid or door while the drum speed exceeds 60 r/min.
p 20.105 Delete.
21 Mechanical strength
p 21.101.2 In the last paragraph, replace “20.103 to 20.105” by “20.103 and 20.104”.
