Overview

EN 60335-2-95:2015/A2:2019 is a European amendment to the household-appliance safety standard specifically for drives for vertically moving garage doors for residential use. Adopted by CENELEC and identical to IEC 60335-2-95:2011/A2:2017, this document updates Part 2-95 of the EN 60335 series and focuses on electrical and mechanical safety requirements for motor drives used on domestic vertical garage doors.

Key publication facts:

• Amendment A2 approved by CENELEC in 2017 and published as EN 60335-2-95:2015/A2:2019.
• National implementation dates were specified (implementation by 2019-11-17; withdrawal of conflicting national standards by 2022-05-17).
• CENELEC removed a direct link to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) during finalization.

Key topics and requirements

The amendment clarifies and adds safety checks relevant to automated and remotely controlled drives. Main technical topics include:

• Electrical safety for household appliance drives (compatibility with EN/IEC 60335 series).
• Mechanical stability and hazards, with emphasis on preventing unintended movement and entrapment.
• Closing force testing: specific update to clause 20.104 - drives that are automatic or can be commanded via telecommunication/communication networks, and drives with a closing force exceeding 400 N, must also be tested using test 20.104.2 for a closing movement.
• Requirements for risk reduction measures, safety devices, and appropriate testing procedures to verify compliance.
• References to test methods, normative clauses, and national adoption obligations.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 60335-2-95:2015/A2:2019 is intended for:

• Manufacturers and designers of garage door drives and motorization systems for residential, vertically moving doors.
• Product safety and compliance engineers preparing CE marking documentation and conformity assessments.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting conformity testing for electrical and mechanical safety.
• Installers, maintenance personnel, and product managers who need to understand required safety features, testing, and labeling.
• Regulatory and procurement teams specifying safe garage door drive products for residential projects.

Related standards

• IEC 60335-2-95 (base international standard) - identical technical content for global alignment.
• General EN/IEC 60335-1 for common safety requirements of household and similar electrical appliances.
• Note: During finalization a decision removed a direct link to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC); consult national implementing documents for regulatory interfaces.

This amendment refines safety verification for automated and remote-controlled residential garage door drives, making it essential for manufacturers and conformity assessors focused on electrical safety, mechanical hazards, and closing-force testing.
