Overview
EN 60335-2-61:2003 (CLC) is the European application of IEC 60335-2-61:2002 covering the safety of electric thermal‑storage room heaters. The standard applies to thermal‑storage heaters intended to heat the room in which they are installed. It specifically addresses appliances with rated voltages not more than 250 V for single‑phase and 480 V for other appliances. EN 60335-2-61 is part of the household electrical appliance safety family and is used to confirm that thermal‑storage heaters meet accepted safety benchmarks.
Key Topics
The standard focuses on practical safety and performance topics relevant to thermal‑storage room heaters. Key areas include:
- Scope and definitions that clarify which thermal‑storage heater types are covered (room heaters intended for local heating).
- Construction and materials guidance to ensure durable, safe design and suitable insulation.
- Protection against electric shock and correct electrical wiring/earthing practices for rated voltages up to the limits stated.
- Thermal safety and overheating protection, addressing risks from high surface temperatures and internal heating elements.
- Controls, switches and thermostats that ensure safe operation and prevent unintended heating.
- Mechanical safety such as stability, guards and safe clearances to reduce fire and contact risks.
- Marking and instructions requirements so users and installers receive clear safety, installation and maintenance information.
- Test requirements and verification to demonstrate compliance with the standard’s safety criteria.
(These topics reflect the standard’s practical emphasis on safety, construction, testing and user information for thermal‑storage heaters.)
Applications
EN 60335-2-61 is intended for:
- Manufacturers and product designers creating electric thermal‑storage room heaters who need to design to regulatory safety expectations.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies that perform safety testing and certification for market access in Europe.
- Regulatory authorities and market surveillance assessing product compliance and consumer safety.
- Installers, distributors and retailers who require correct marking and instructions to support safe installation and use.
Using this standard helps ensure products are safe for household and similar environments and supports CE marking and market acceptance.
