EN 60335-2-59:2003/A11:2018 - Overview

EN 60335-2-59:2003/A11:2018 is a CENELEC/CLC amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - specifically Part 2-59: Particular requirements for insect killers. Published October 2018 (amendment A11, approved 2016-02-15) and intended to be used together with EN 60335-1:2012 (the general requirements), this document updates the 2003 Part 2-59 text and aligns device-specific safety requirements with current Low Voltage Directive objectives. It addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards encountered by typical users while noting limits (for example, it generally does not cover children playing with appliances or unsupervised use by very young children).

Key topics and technical requirements

This amendment supplements and modifies the corresponding clauses of the Part 1 standard and earlier Part 2-59 editions. Key technical areas covered (in the context of insect killers) include:

• Integration with EN 60335-1: appliance construction, testing and assessment procedures are applied together with Part 1 requirements.
• Electrical safety and insulation: protection against electric shock for accessible parts and internal wiring integrity.
• Mechanical and thermal hazards: guarding, hot-surface protection and prevention of injury during normal use and maintenance.
• Marking, instructions and warnings: user information, safe operation and servicing instructions relevant to insect-killing devices.
• Testing and conformity: clauses define tests and performance checks specific to insect killers to demonstrate compliance.
• Regulatory alignment: Annex ZZ maps the standard to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive), providing a presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal.

Note: the amendment acknowledges potential patent issues and clarifies national implementation dates (dop 2019-04-05; dow 2021-10-05).

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 60335-2-59:2003/A11:2018 is essential for:

• Manufacturers and designers of electric insect killers (indoor/outdoor consumer devices) - to design compliant products.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - to perform required safety tests and issue reports.
• Product certification bodies and notified bodies - for LVD conformity assessment and CE marking support.
• Regulatory authorities, importers and procurement teams - to verify safety of supplied insect-killing appliances.
• Technical writers and training providers - to prepare user manuals and safety documentation.
