EN 60335-2-53:2011

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-53: Particular requirements for sauna heating appliances and infrared cabins

IEC 60335-2-53:2011 deals with the safety of electric sauna heating appliances and infrared emitting units having a rated power input not exceeding 20 kW, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. The appliances covered by this standard are intended for use in the home and in public saunas located in blocks of flats, hotels and similar locations. This standard also deals with the safety of electric sauna heating appliances provided with a humidifier unit, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. The room air is humidified by evaporating or atomising water. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 and its Amendment 1 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-53 are as follows: - the scope is changed to cover infrared cabins; - additional requirements for recessed sauna heaters are added; - requirements of electronic interlocks are added (22.108). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment 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 publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. This publication is to be read in conjunction with  IEC 60335-1:2010.

Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-53: Besondere Anforderungen für Saunaheizgeräte und Infrarot-Kabinen

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-53: Règles particulières pour les appareils de chauffage de saunas et les cabines infrarouges

La CEI 60335-2-53:2011 traite de la sécurité des appareils de chauffage de saunas et des unités infrarouges électriques dont la puissance assignée n'est pas supérieure à 20 kW et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils. Les appareils couverts par la présente norme sont destinés à être utilisés dans les saunas d'habitation et les saunas publics situés dans des immeubles, des hôtels ou des lieux similaires. La présente norme traite également de la sécurité des appareils de chauffage de saunas comportant un élément humidificateur et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils. L'air de la pièce est humidifié en vaporisant ou en atomisant de l'eau. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2002 et son Amendement 1 (2007), dont elle constitue une révision technique. Par rapport à la troisième édition de la CEI 60335-2-53, les principales modifications indiquées ci-après ont été apportées dans la présente édition: - le domaine d'application est modifié pour couvrir les cabines infrarouges; - des exigences complémentaires sont ajoutées pour les radiateurs pour saunas destinés à être installés dans un renfoncement; - des exigences pour les verrouillages électroniques sont ajoutées (22.108). 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 novelle 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 cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois et au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60335-1:2010.

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-53. del: Posebne zahteve za električne grelne aparate za savne in infrardeče kabine (IEC 60335-2-53:2011)

To točko 1. dela nadomešča naslednje besedilo.
Ta mednarodni standard opisuje varnost električnih grelnih aparatov za savne in infrardeče enote z vhodno nazivno močjo, ki ne presega 20 kW, pri čemer njihova nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne naprave in 480 V za druge naprave.
Naprave, zajete v tem standardu, so namenjene domači uporabi in uporabi v javnih savnah v večstanovanjskih zgradbah, hotelih in podobnih lokacijah.
OPOMBA 101: Grelni aparati za savne lahko delujejo po načelu shranjevanja toplote.
Ta standard prav tako opisuje varnost električnih grelnih aparatov za savne z vlažilnikom z nazivno napetostjo, ki ne presega 250 V za enofazne naprave
in 480 V za druge naprave. Zrak v prostoru se navlaži z izhlapevanjem ali atomiziranjem vode.
OPOMBA 102: Vlažilnik je lahko del grelnega aparata za savno ali je vdelan v grelnik za savno.
Grelni aparat za savno ali grelnik za savno lahko deluje z vlažilnikom ali brez.
Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo naprave, s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno
ne upošteva
– oseb (tudi otrok), ki zaradi
•fizičnih, senzoričnih ali umskih sposobnosti oziroma
•pomanjkanja izkušenj in znanja
ne morejo varno uporabljati naprav brez nadzora ali navodil;
– otrok, ki se z napravo igrajo.
OPOMBA 103: Upoštevajte tudi,
– da so za naprave, ki so namenjene za uporabo v vozilih ali na krovu ladij ali letal, morda potrebne dodatne zahteve;
– da v številnih državah nacionalni zdravstveni organi, nacionalni organi, odgovorni za varstvo pri delu, ter drugi podobni organi določajo dodatne zahteve.
OPOMBA 104: Ta standard se ne uporablja za
– naprave, ki so namenjene za uporabo na lokacijah, kjer veljajo posebne razmere, kot je prisotnost korozivne ali eksplozivne atmosfere (prah, hlapi ali plin);
– naprave, ki povzročajo potenje le na delu človeškega telesa;
– potilne kopeli, kjer glava uporabnika ostane izven ogrevanega prostora;
– šotore in druge zložljive vrste savn;
– grelnike prostorov (IEC 60335-2-30);
– vlažilnike, namenjene za uporabo z grelnimi, prezračevalnimi ali klimatskimi sistemi IEC 60335-2-88);
– vlažilnike (IEC 60335-2-98);
– naprave, namenjene za medicinske namene IEC 60601).

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.
