EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 is a CENELEC amendment to the European standard for the safety of electric ondol-mattresses with a non-flexible heated part. It applies to household and similar appliances with rated voltage not more than 250 V, including DC-supplied and battery-operated appliances, and it also covers the control units supplied with the appliance.

What does EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 specify?

EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 updates the particular safety requirements for electric ondol-mattresses for household and similar use. The amendment works together with EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026 and updates the way the standard treats foreseeable use around people and domestic animals.

The document is organized as a set of modifications:

• Introduction
• Clause 1, “Scope”
• Clause 7, “Marking and instructions”
• Annexes
• Bibliography

Annex	What it covers
Annex ZA	Normative references to international publications and their corresponding European publications, including the addition of ISO 2439
Annex ZZA	Relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU
Annex ZZB	Relationship to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
Annex ZZC	Relationship to Directive 2014/53/EU

What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026?

EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 changes the scope and user information so the safety approach covers people and domestic animals in and around the home. In practice, this means manufacturers need to consider foreseeable misuse and user groups when designing the appliance and writing instructions.

Scope and hazard model

Clause 1 replaces part of the scope text with a broader hazard statement: the document deals with reasonably foreseeable hazards of intended use encountered by all persons and domestic animals in and around the home. For engineers, this means the safety assessment is not limited to a single user profile.

Instructions for use

Clause 7.12 requires the instructions to state that:

• persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or with lack of experience and knowledge, may use the appliance only under supervision or instruction from a responsible person
• children and domestic animals should be supervised so they do not play with the appliance
• the cord should not hang over the edge or counter when the appliance is left unattended
• children shall not carry out cleaning or user maintenance

In practice, these points must appear in the supplied instructions, so documentation and labeling need to match the amendment.

Material reference added

Annex ZA adds ISO 2439, Flexible cellular polymeric materials - Determination of hardness (indentation technique). This gives a recognized method for checking hardness of flexible cellular materials where the standard calls for that reference.

Relationship to the base standard

The amendment states that it is read in conjunction with EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026 and that the annexes of Part 1 and Part 2 apply with modifications. For users of the standard, that means the general appliance safety rules remain in force alongside the ondol-mattress-specific requirements.

What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 define?

• Electric ondol-mattress - The household appliance covered by the standard, intended for heating with a non-flexible heated part.
• Non-flexible heated part - The heated section is rigid rather than flexible, which affects the way the appliance is designed and assessed.
• Control units - The controls supplied with the appliance, which are included in the scope.
• Direct current (DC) - A supply type explicitly included in the scope alongside other supply arrangements.
• Reasonably foreseeable hazards - Hazards expected from intended use by people and domestic animals in and around the home.
• CENELEC - The European electrotechnical standardization organization that approved the amendment.
• A11 - The amendment identifier showing this is amendment 11 to the base standard.

Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026?

Manufacturers of electric ondol-mattresses and their control units use this standard to design the product and prepare instructions. Test laboratories and certification bodies use it to assess safety against the particular requirements for this product type.

Quality managers, compliance teams and buyers use it to check that the appliance is covered by the correct household-appliance safety standard and that the user information addresses children, people with reduced capabilities and domestic animals. It is relevant wherever these appliances are specified, tested or placed on the market in Europe.

What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 from the previous edition?

EN IEC 60335-2-111:2019 is superseded by this amendment. The foreword identifies the main technical change as introducing requirements and instructions for children, people with disabilities and domestic animals.

The amendment also updates the Introduction, Clause 1, Clause 7, the annexes and the bibliography, and it adds ISO 2439 to Annex ZA.

Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026?

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+A12:2026 - Part 1, which provides the general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
• EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026 - The base Part 2 document that this amendment modifies.
• ISO 2439 - The test method for hardness of flexible cellular polymeric materials added in Annex ZA.

What does the EN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/A11:2026 document contain?

The document contains the European foreword, the amendment text for the Introduction, Scope, Marking and instructions, annexes and bibliography. It also includes the official relationship annexes to European legislation and the normative reference table in Annex ZA.

For users working on product safety, the most practical parts are the scope update and the instruction text in Clause 7. For test and compliance work, the document points readers to the base Part 1 requirements, the base Part 2-111 text, and ISO 2439 where hardness testing is relevant.
