Overview

EN 60335-1:1994/A11:1995 (CLC) is a European standard titled "Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements". This edition was adopted nationally (SIST EN 60335-1:1995/A11:1997) and is listed under ICS codes 13.120 (Domestic safety) and 97.030 (Domestic electrical appliances). The document establishes the general safety principles that apply to a wide range of household and similar electrical appliances.
Note: This version has been superseded by EN 60335-1:2002; users should refer to the later edition for current compliance requirements.

Key Topics

The standard provides the foundational framework for appliance safety. While specific technical figures and clause text are found in the full standard, the general topical coverage includes:

• General safety principles applicable to household and similar electrical appliances
• Requirements for construction and design to reduce risk of electric shock, fire and mechanical hazards
• Marking and instructions to ensure safe installation, operation and maintenance
• Testing and conformity procedures used to verify that appliances meet the general safety criteria
• Scope and definitions that determine which appliances and use-cases fall within Part 1

These topics form the baseline for product safety assessment and are referenced by many appliance-specific parts of the EN 60335 series.

Applications

EN 60335-1:1994/A11:1995 serves practical needs across the product lifecycle:

• Manufacturers and product designers use the general requirements to guide safe appliance design and documentation.
• Testing laboratories apply the standard when developing test plans for safety verification and conformity assessment.
• Certification bodies and conformity assessors reference the standard during product approvals and CE marking processes (for the relevant period/version).
• Procurement, regulatory and safety professionals use the standard to specify minimum safety expectations for household and similar electrical appliances.

Because this edition is superseded, it is primarily of historical or transitional interest; however, understanding its general requirements helps interpret subsequent revisions and product-specific parts of the EN 60335 series.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1:2002 - Superseding version containing updated general requirements
• Other parts of the EN 60335 series - appliance-specific standards that reference Part 1 for general safety requirements
