Overview

EN 60335-1:1994/A1:1996 - Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements is a CLC-adopted European standard (also published as SIST EN 60335-1:1995/A1:1997) that defines overarching safety principles for domestic electrical appliances. This edition cancels and replaces EN 60335-2-19:1989 and EN 60335-2-20:1989 and was later superseded by EN 60335-1:2002. The standard applies to a broad range of household and similar electrical appliances and provides the baseline requirements that appliance-specific (Part 2) standards reference.

Key topics

The standard addresses general safety topics and test principles relevant to household electrical appliance safety, including:

• Scope and definitions that clarify which appliances and conditions are covered.
• Ratings and instructions requirements for correct use and safe installation.
• Protection against electric shock principles for accessible parts and internal circuitry.
• Mechanical and structural safety covering moving parts, stability and containment.
• Thermal and fire safety addressing excessive temperatures and ignition risks.
• Safety of circuits and components including wiring, insulation and internal connections.
• Marking, labeling and user information to ensure essential safety information is provided.
• General test methods and verification procedures for demonstrating compliance.

(These topics form the general framework which is supplemented by specific Part 2 standards for particular appliance types.)

Applications

EN 60335-1:1994/A1:1996 is used as the foundational safety reference for:

• Appliance designers and product development teams establishing safe design principles for household products.
• Compliance and quality engineers preparing safety documentation and arranging product testing.
• Test laboratories carrying out safety verification against general requirements.
• Regulatory bodies and standardization committees referencing baseline safety criteria.
• Importers and distributors assessing product safety and technical documentation.

Using the standard helps organizations manage electrical, mechanical and thermal risks in household appliances and ensures consistent safety assessment across a wide product range.

Related standards

• Part 2 series of EN 60335: appliance-specific standards that extend and adapt the Part 1 general requirements.
• Note: This edition superseded earlier EN 60335-2-19:1989 and EN 60335-2-20:1989 and was itself superseded by EN 60335-1:2002.
