(Main)Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-43: Particular requirements for clothes dryers and towel rails
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-43: Particular requirements for clothes dryers and towel rails
IEC 60335-2-43:2017(E) deals with the safety of electric clothes dryers for drying textiles on racks located in a warm airflow, clothes dryers intended for drying footwear or gloves and to electric towel rails, for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. The clothes racks can be fixed or free-standing in a cabinet. The air circulation can be natural or forced. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction or children playing with the appliance. Attention is drawn to the fact that for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary. This standard does not apply to spin extractors (IEC 60335-2-4): - tumble dryers (IEC 60335-2-11); - appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes or appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas). This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 including its Amendment 1 (2005) and its Amendment 2 (2008). This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: requirements for clothes dryers intended for drying footwear or gloves have been introduced (1, 3.1.9, 6.2, 11.8, 19.1, 19.13, 19.101, 19.102, 22.40, 23.3). This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication.
Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-43: Besondere Anforderungen für Kleidungs- und Handtuchtrockner
Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-43: Règles particulières pour les appareils de séchage du linge et les sèche-serviettes
L’IEC 60335-2-43:2017 traite de la sécurité des appareils électriques de séchage du linge, permettant de sécher du linge placé sur des supports situés dans un courant d’air chaud, des appareils de séchage du linge destinés au séchage des chaussures ou des gants et des sèche-serviettes électriques, pour usages domestiques et analogues, dont la tension assignée n’est pas supérieure à 250 V. Les supports du linge peuvent être fixés ou être indépendants, à l’intérieur d’une enceinte. La circulation d’air peut être naturelle ou forcée. Les appareils non destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui peuvent néanmoins 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. Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers ordinaires présentés par les appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l’intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, cette norme ne tient pas compte en général: – des personnes (y compris les enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales; ou le manque d’expérience et de connaissance les empêchent d’utiliser l’appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction; – de l’utilisation de l’appareil comme jouet par des enfants. L'attention est attirée sur le fait que – pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires; – dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les organismes nationaux de la santé, par les organismes nationaux responsables de la protection des travailleurs et par des organismes similaires. La présente norme ne s'applique pas – aux essoreuses centrifuges (IEC 60335-2-4); – aux sèche-linge à tambour (IEC 60335-2-11); – aux appareils prévus exclusivement pour des usages industriels; – aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d’une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz). Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2002, son Amendement 1 (2005) et son Amendement 2 (2008). Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: des exigences relatives aux appareils de séchage du linge destinés au séchage des chaussures ou des gants ont été ajoutées (1, 3.1.9, 6.2, 11.8, 19.1, 19.13, 19.101, 19.102, 22.40, 23.3). La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme.

Part 2-43: Particular requirements for
clothes dryers and towel rails
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60335-2-43 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 including its
Amendment 1 (2005) and its Amendment 2 (2008). This edition constitutes a technical
