Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-43:2020/A11:2020 is a CLC/CENELEC amendment to the European standard covering the safety of household and similar electric clothes dryers and towel rails. It applies to electric clothes dryers for drying textiles on racks in warm airflow, dryers intended for footwear or gloves, and electric towel rails for household and similar use with a rated voltage of not more than 250 V. Amendment A11 updates scope language and annexes and is to be read together with EN IEC 60335-2-43:2020 and EN 60335-1:2012 (Part 1).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and hazards: Defines the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by these appliances in and around the installation place. Amendment A11 clarifies that the standard generally does not address children playing with appliances or use by very young children, and acknowledges special needs of very vulnerable people may be outside the standard’s coverage.
- Particular requirements: Supplements the general safety requirements of EN 60335-1 (Part 1) with specific provisions tailored to clothes dryers, footwear/glove dryers and towel rails.
- Normative relationship: This amendment modifies clauses and annexes of the Part 2 standard and references Part 1 for general safety tests and criteria.
- Regulatory linkage: Annex ZZA maps the standard to safety objectives of the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU). When cited in the Official Journal, compliance provides a presumption of conformity with the Directive within the standard’s scope.
- Harmonization and adoption: Approved by CENELEC (09‑11‑2020) and adopted as national standards by member bodies; includes multilingual official versions (EN/FR/DE).
Practical applications and users
This standard is essential for:
- Manufacturers and product designers developing electric clothes dryers, footwear/glove dryers and towel rails to ensure product safety and market access in Europe.
- Compliance and certification bodies and testing laboratories performing conformity assessment against harmonized safety requirements.
- Safety engineers and regulatory affairs teams drafting technical files for CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive.
- Procurement officers and retailers specifying compliant household appliances for sale in European markets.
- Standards committees and national bodies implementing the amendment into national standards.
