Overview

EN 60335-2-60:2003/A11:2010 is an amendment (A11) to the European standard EN 60335-2-60:2003 covering safety of household and similar electrical appliances, specifically the particular requirements for whirlpool baths and whirlpool spas. Approved by CENELEC on 2009-11-01, this amendment clarifies safety conditions related to maintenance and cleaning where conductive liquids may contact live parts supplied at safety extra-low voltage (SELV) not exceeding 12 V.

This document is applicable across CENELEC member countries and exists in the three official languages (English, French, German). The amendment sets implementation and withdrawal dates for national adoption and conflicting standards.

Key Topics

• Amendment A11 scope: Modifies the first paragraph of Subclause 22.33 in EN 60335-2-60:2003/A1:2005 to address conductive liquids and live parts during maintenance.
• SELV allowance: For whirlpool spas, conductive liquids may be in direct contact with live parts when those parts are supplied at safety extra-low voltage (not exceeding 12 V) during maintenance or cleaning operations.
• Safety focus: Emphasises reducing electrical risk during maintenance and water quality checks while recognising practical service conditions for whirlpool baths and spas.
• Standards governance: Prepared by CENELEC TC 61 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances) and subject to national implementation rules.

Applications

This amendment has direct relevance to manufacturers, installers, service technicians, test laboratories and safety assessors involved with whirlpool baths and whirlpool spas. Practical applications include:

• Design and verification of electrical components that may be exposed during maintenance or cleaning.
• Service procedures and maintenance protocols that rely on SELV supply to reduce risk when conductive liquids are present.
• Product documentation and safety instructions that reference permitted conditions during maintenance to ensure compliance with European requirements.

Benefits for stakeholders:

• Manufacturers can align product design and instructions with clarified maintenance safety rules.
• Service personnel gain clearer guidance on acceptable voltage levels during cleaning and water checks.
• Regulators and conformity assessors have a documented amendment to reference when evaluating compliance.

Related Standards

• EN 60335 series - General and particular safety requirements for household electrical appliances.
• National adoptions and endorsements of EN 60335-2-60:2003/A11:2010 by CENELEC members.

For authoritative interpretation, consult the full text of EN 60335-2-60:2003 and amendment A11 as published by CENELEC or the relevant national standards body. This summary highlights practical implications and the key clarification introduced by A11 regarding SELV use during maintenance and cleaning of whirlpool baths and spas.
