Overview

EN 60335-2-70:2002/A2:2019 is the CENELEC/CLC amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - particular requirements for milking machines. It implements Amendment 2 (A2) to EN 60335-2-70 and aligns the European text with IEC 60335-2-70:2002/A2:2013. This amendment is to be read together with EN 60335-1:2012 (Part 1) and updates marking, instructions and normative references specific to electrically operated milking equipment.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Safety requirements for electrical milking machines and sub‑assemblies intended for household and similar use, as modified by A2.
• Integration with Part 1: EN 60335-2-70:2002/A2:2019 supplements and modifies EN 60335-1:2012; Part 1 clauses remain applicable unless explicitly changed.
• Marking and instructions:
  • Appliances or sub‑assemblies that are not rated IPX6 and that may be installed where water‑jet cleaning is likely must be marked “DO NOT SPRAY WITH WATER” or show ISO 7010 – P016 (do not spray) symbol.
  • If the ISO 7010 – P016 symbol is used, its meaning must be explained in the instructions and the symbol must be visible after installation.
  • Minimum symbol size requirement: outer diameter at least 25 mm when the P016 symbol is applied.
• Normative references: The amendment replaces references to ISO 3864‑1 with ISO 7010:2011 (graphical safety symbols) and updates other bibliographic references (e.g., ISO 3918 vocabulary for milking installations). Annex AA and related figures were deleted; annexes of Part 1 apply.
• Regulatory status: Approved by CENELEC and intended for national adoption within the EU/EEA framework.

Applications and who uses this standard

• Manufacturers of milking machines and electrical farm appliances - to design compliant equipment, labeling and instruction literature.
• Testing and certification laboratories - to verify marking, protection against water ingress (IP ratings) and conformity with Part 1 plus the A2 modifications.
• Compliance officers / procurement teams - to ensure purchased milking equipment meets European safety obligations.
• Farm equipment integrators and installers - for correct placement, installation guidance and awareness of cleaning restrictions.
• Regulators and notified bodies - for conformity assessment and market surveillance.

Related standards

• EN 60335-1:2012 (Household appliance safety - Part 1: General requirements)
• IEC 60335-2-70:2002/A2:2013 (International counterpart)
• ISO 7010:2011 (Graphical symbols - registered safety signs)
• ISO 3918 (Milking machine installations - vocabulary)

This amendment clarifies marking, symbol use and references to improve safety in environments where milking machines are exposed to cleaning processes and to harmonize European practice with the IEC publication.
