Overview

EN 60335-2-60:2003/A12:2010 is Amendment A12 to the European standard EN 60335-2-60:2003, published by CENELEC. It defines updated particular requirements for whirlpool baths and whirlpool spas used in household and similar settings. Prepared by CENELEC TC 61 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances), the amendment was approved on 1 November 2009 and implemented at national level by 1 November 2010. The document is available in English, French and German.

This amendment clarifies specific component and safety expectations and should be used by manufacturers, test laboratories, compliance officers and procurement teams to align design and testing with current European practice for electrical safety of whirlpool equipment.

Key Topics

• Scope and status: Amendment A12 modifies the baseline EN 60335-2-60:2003. National electrotechnical committees are required to adopt or endorse the amendment by the mandated dates.
• Component change (24.7): A notable modification states that hose-sets do not need to be supplied with the appliance. This affects packaging, installation instructions, and accessory procurement.
• Regulatory alignment: The amendment sets expectations for harmonized national standards across CENELEC member countries and clarifies implementation timelines.
• Administrative notes: The foreword highlights that some elements may be subject to patent rights, and that translations produced by national committees have equivalent status when notified to the CENELEC secretariat.

Applications

This amendment is directly relevant to:

• Manufacturers of whirlpool baths and spas who must update product specifications, manuals and accessory supply decisions (for example, hose-set provisioning).
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors verifying electrical safety against EN 60335-2-60 plus Amendment A12.
• Regulators and procurement teams specifying compliant products for residential and commercial installations.
• Design and installation professionals ensuring that equipment delivered and installed meets the amended safety expectations.

Practical benefits include clearer guidance for accessory provision, consistent national adoption across Europe, and improved alignment between testing and product documentation-contributing to reduced safety risk and simpler compliance workflows.
