Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 1: Exigences générales

La CEI 60335-1:2010 traite de la sécurité des appareils électriques pour usages domestiques et analogues dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils. Les appareils alimentés par batteries et les autres appareils alimentés en courant continu sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils non destinés à un usage domestique normal mais qui néanmoins peuvent constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Comme exemples de tels appareils, on peut citer le matériel de restauration, les appareils de nettoyage à usage commercial et les appareils pour les coiffeurs. Les principales modifications de la présente édition par rapport à la quatrième édition sont les suivantes: - mise à jour du texte pour aligner la norme avec les éditions les plus récentes des références normatives datées; - modification des exigences de sécurité fonctionnelle utilisant des circuits électroniques programmables, y compris les exigences de validation des logiciels; - mise à jour de l'Article 29 pour couvrir les exigences de l'isolation soumise à des tensions à fréquence élevée comme, par exemple, dans les circuits d'alimentation à découpage; - mise à jour du Paragraphe 30.2 pour mieux aligner les options de présélection avec les options d'essai du produit fini; - suppression de quelques notes et conversion de plusieurs autres notes en texte normatif; - clarification des exigences pour les parties de la classe III. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois et au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Le contenu des corrigenda de juillet 2010 et avril 2011 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

Overview

EN 60335-1:2012/A13:2017 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements. Approved on 2017-09-26, Amendment A13 updates normative references (notably Annex ZC), revises Annexes ZZ/ZC for EU alignment and cancels the previous A12 amendment. The standard supports essential requirements of relevant EU Directives and sets the baseline safety principles and test methods applied across the EN 60335 series.

Key topics and requirements

This amendment and the parent standard cover general safety principles that apply to a wide range of domestic electrical appliances. Key technical topics and referenced requirements include:

• General safety principles for electrical appliances used in household and similar environments (construction, marking, instructions).
• Normative references: extensive cross-references to EN/IEC documents (cables, insulation, connectors, couplers, capacitors, etc.) consolidated in revised Annex ZC.
• Insulation and dielectric coordination (IEC 60664 series) and thermal evaluation of insulation (IEC 60085).
• Fire and flammability testing: glow-wire, ball-pressure and needle/vertical/horizontal flame tests (IEC 60695 series).
• Mechanical and environmental tests: damp heat, dry heat, rough handling, hammer tests (IEC 60068 series).
• Appliance couplers, plugs and lamp holders: requirements and interchangeability (IEC 60320, IEC 60061, IEC 60309).
• Electrical protection and touch current measurement (IEC 60990), fuses (IEC 60127) and motor/controls safety (IEC 60730).
• EMC-related immunity tests (IEC 61000-4 series) and requirements for suppression capacitors (IEC 60384-14).
• Documentation of conformity and relationship to EU Directives via Annexes ZZA/ZZB/ZZC.

Practical applications and who uses it

EN 60335-1:2012/A13:2017 is used by:

• Appliance manufacturers and product designers to ensure baseline safety compliance for consumer/domestic appliances.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies for type testing and certification.
• Compliance engineers and regulatory officers preparing technical files and declarations of conformity for EU market entry.
• Component suppliers (cables, connectors, capacitors, controls) to verify compatibility with appliance safety requirements.
• Standards committees and certification schemes aligning national standards with CENELEC requirements.

Related standards

Amendment A13 references many EN/IEC standards (see Annex ZC). Important related documents include:

• EN 60335-1:2012 (base standard)
• IEC/EN series for cables (EN 50525), insulation (EN 60664), fire testing (EN 60695), appliance couplers (EN 60320), EMC testing (EN 61000-4-x), and automatic controls (EN 60730).

Keywords: EN 60335-1, household electrical appliances safety, general requirements, CENELEC Amendment A13, Annex ZC, EU Directives, glow-wire test, insulation coordination, appliance couplers.
