Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-40. del: Posebne zahteve za električne toplotne črpalke, klimatske naprave in sušilnike zraka - dopolnilo A13

Ta standard obravnava varnost električnih toplotnih črpalk, vključno s toplotnimi črpalkami za gospodinjsko vročo vodo, klimatskimi napravami in sušilniki zraka z zaprtimi gnanimi kompresorji. Najvišja nazivna napetost ne sme presegati 250 V za enofazne naprave in 600 V za vse druge naprave. Navedene naprave so lahko sestavljene iz enega sestava ali več. Če zajemajo več kot en sestav, se morajo sestavi uporabljati skupaj, zahteve pa temeljijo na uporabi združenih sestavov. Dodaten grelnik ali ukrepi za njihovo ločeno namestitev spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda, vendar to velja le za grelnike, ki so zasnovani kot del naprave, pri čemer so kontrole vgrajene v napravo.

Overview

EN 60335-2-40:2003/A13:2012 is a CENELEC amendment that specifies particular safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances: electrical heat pumps, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers. The amendment was approved by CENELEC on 2011-07-11 and the document supports essential requirements of EU Directives including 2006/42/EC and the Low Voltage Directive. It applies to appliances incorporating motor-compressors and hydronic room fan coils with maximum rated voltages up to 250 V for single-phase and 600 V for other appliances.

Key implementation dates:

• Amendment approval: 2011-07-11
• Latest date for national implementation (dop): 2012-08-23
• Withdrawal of conflicting national standards (dow): 2014-07-11

This part also flags that pressurized components may fall under the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and provides guidance in Annex ZAB.

Key Topics

• Scope and application: covers household, commercial, shop, light industry and farm use; additional commercial requirements are provided in Annex ZE.
• Safety limits: voltage limits and appliance types are clearly defined; exclusion for humidifiers covered by EN 60335-2-88 and industrial-only equipment is specified.
• Commercial use (Annex ZE): additional marking, instruction and verification requirements for appliances intended for trained or commercial users; noise declarations and verification are required where applicable.
• Acoustics and noise (Annex ZAB): specifies noise reduction as a design objective and defines a noise test code including sound power and emission sound pressure level measurement, measurement uncertainty and reporting requirements.
• Testing and verification: references to specific acoustic and measurement standards and procedures are included to ensure reproducible noise declarations.

Applications

This standard is valuable for manufacturers, test laboratories, conformity assessors and regulatory teams involved with:

• Design and safety validation of household heat pumps, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers
• Compliance assessment for appliances used in shops, offices, farms and light industry
• Preparing technical documentation and noise declarations for commercial appliances
• Integrating risk assessment when pressurised components are present (see Pressure Equipment Directive guidance)

Practical points:

• Where the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at workstations exceeds 70 dB(A), the value must be declared; if below 70 dB(A) instructions must state it is below that level.
• Annex ZE requires operating and marking instructions indicating whether the appliance is intended for expert or trained users for commercial environments.

Related Standards

This amendment references and adds normative links to acoustic and safety standards to support testing and declaration requirements, such as:

• EN ISO 3744, EN ISO 4871, EN ISO 11203, EN ISO 11688-1 (acoustics)
• EN 12102 (air conditioners, heat pumps and dehumidifiers - airborne noise measurement)
• EN ISO 12100 (safety of machinery - risk assessment)

Keywords: electrical heat pumps, air-conditioners, dehumidifiers, safety standard, CENELEC, Annex ZE, Annex ZAB, noise emission, EU Directive, pressurised components.

Introduction
Replace the addition of the CENELEC common modifications by:

The principle objectives of Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, are covered in this standard. The essential
safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which can be applicable to some appliances,
covered by this part have also been taken into account.

Products within the scope of this standard may incorporate pressurized components for which the Pressure
Equipment Directive, 97/23/EC, applies. Further guidance is given in Annex ZAB.

1 Scope
Replace the second and third paragraphs by:
This European Standard deals with the safety of electric heat pumps, including sanitary hot water
heat pumps, air-conditioners, and dehumidifiers incorporating motor-compressors and hydronic
room fan coils, their maximum rated voltages being not more than 250 V for single phase
appliances and 600 V for all other appliances.
Appliances and machines intended to be used in household, commercial applications, in shops, in
light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
Additional requirements for appliances and machines intended for commercial use are given in
Annex ZE.
NOTE Z1  Examples of appliance for household environment are appliances for typical housekeeping functions used in the household
environment and appliances for typical housekeeping functions used by non expert users
• in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
