EN 60335-2-108:2008

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-108: Particular requirements for electrolysers

Deals with the safety of electrolysers that produce low viscosity, ionized liquids intended for use as detergent free wash water in appliances for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such appliances. It applies to electrolysers tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months from the date of its publication.

Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-108: Besondere Anforderungen für Elektrolysatoren

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-108: Règles particulières pour les électrolyseurs

Traite de la sécurité des électrolyseurs qui produisent des liquides ionisés à faible viscosité destinés à être utilisés comme eau de lavage sans détergent dans les appareils à usages domestiques et analogues et qui sont conformes aux normes applicables à de tels appareils. Elle s'applique aux électrolyseurs essayés séparément, dans les conditions les plus sévères qui peuvent se produire en usage normal, et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de la présente norme soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois après sa date de publication.

Foreword
The text of document 61/3413/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 60335-2-108, prepared by IEC Technical
Committee 61, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60335-2-108 on 2008-05-01 with a common
modification maintaining the coherence with Clause 6 of EN 60335-1:2002.
The following dates are applicable:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2009-02-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2011-05-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
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 of revision of Part 1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 60335-1, so as to convert it into the
European Standard: Safety requirements for electrical electrolysers.
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 in
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.
There are no special national conditions causing a deviation from this European Standard, other than
those listed in Annex ZA to 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.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the
