Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-106: Particular requirements for heated carpets and for heating units for room heating installed under removable floor coverings

Deals with the safety of heating units to heat the room in which they are located and that are intended to be installed directly under a floor covering that is itself intended to be removable; their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase installations and 480 V for other installations. The contents of the corrigendum of February 2008 have been included in this copy.

Foreword
The text of document 61/3220/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 60335-2-106, prepared by the IEC Technical
Committee 61, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 60335-2-106 on 2007-05-01.
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) 2008-02-01
- date on which national standards
conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2010-05-01
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 standard.
Amendments and revisions of Part 1 have also to be taken into account and the dates when 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 heated carpets and for heating units for room heating
installed under removable floor coverings.
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;
- additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.;
- subclauses, notes and annexes that are additional to those in the IEC standard are prefixed with the letter Z.
NOTE 2 The following print types are used:
- requirements: in roman type;
- test specifications: in italic type;
- notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun
are also in bold.
Special national conditions causing a deviation from this European Standard are listed in Annex ZA and
are in addition to those in EN 60335-1.
There are no national deviations from this European Standard, other than those listed in Annex ZB to
EN 60335-1.

Introduction
p Add:
An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 2006/95/EC. For products having mechanical
moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC, has shown that
the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However, the
relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard together
with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.
