Overview

EN 60335-2-59:2003/A1:2006 is a CENELEC amendment to the European adoption of IEC 60335-2-59, the particular safety requirements for household and similar electrical insect killers. It updates EN 60335-2-59:2003 and was approved in 2006. The amendment clarifies how radiation-related hazards (notably UV) are assessed, replaces a previous UV figure with a numeric Table 101 of wavelength weighting factors, and updates wording on electromagnetic effects and abnormal operating conditions.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Particular safety requirements for electric insect killers as part of the IEC/EN 60335 series for household appliances.
• Radiation hazards: The amendment revises the treatment of UV radiation and related risks:
  • Removes the previous UV action-spectrum figure and introduces Table 101 – weighting factors for different wavelengths (250–400 nm) used to compute effective irradiance.
  • Specifies that irradiance is measured after lamp radiation has stabilized, and effective irradiance is calculated using the table’s weighting factors (interpolate for intermediate wavelengths).
• Electromagnetic and abnormal conditions: Text was updated to state the standard covers abnormal situations expected in practice and considers how electromagnetic phenomena can affect safe operation.
• Implementation and conformity: The amendment replaces prior national deviations and aligns EN text with IEC amendment 1:2006; national adoption and withdrawal dates are specified by CENELEC.

Applications and who uses this standard

• Manufacturers of electric insect killers: design for safety, specify UV sources, and verify compliance with radiation and electrical safety requirements.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies: apply the updated irradiance measurement and weighting-factor method to evaluate devices.
• Product safety engineers and designers: assess abnormal operating conditions, electromagnetic compatibility impacts, and hazard mitigation (shielding, interlocks).
• Regulatory authorities and importers/retailers: confirm products meet European safety expectations under EN/IEC conformity regimes.
• Compliance managers: update technical files and declarations of conformity to reflect the A1 amendment.

Related standards

• IEC 60335-2-59 (base international standard) and EN 60335-2-59:2003 (original European version)
• IEC/EN 60335-1 (general requirements for household electrical appliance safety)
• Relevant CENELEC and national electrotechnical standards for EMC and UV safety testing
