EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 is a CLC European amendment to the safety standard for commercial microwave appliances with insertion or contacting applicators. It modifies EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026 and is read together with that base standard and the relevant Part 1 requirements. For manufacturers, test labs and compliance teams, it updates the safety scope, user-instruction wording and reference documents for appliances intended for commercial use.
What does EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 specify?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 specifies amendments to the safety requirements for commercial microwave appliances with insertion or contacting applicators. The scope covers appliances intended for commercial use with rated voltage not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances.
The amendment is organized into changes to the Introduction, Clause 1 on Scope, Clause 7 on Marking and instructions, annexes, and the Bibliography. It also states that the annexes of Part 1 and Part 2 apply except where the amendment changes them.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex ZA | Normative references to international publications and their European publications |
| Annex ZZA | Relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU |
| Annex ZZB | Relationship to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 |
| Annex ZZC | Relationship to Directive 2014/53/EU |
What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 mainly changes how the safety standard treats foreseeable use, user groups and operating instructions. In practice, these changes affect the wording manufacturers must place in instructions and the references used to support design and marking.
Scope and intended users
Clause 1 replaces part of the scope wording so that the document addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards arising from intended use by appliances encountered by instructed persons or skilled persons. This matters because the safety assessment and instructions are aimed at controlled commercial use, not general household use.
User instructions and warnings
Clause 7.12 requires the instructions to state that the appliance is to be operated only by instructed persons or skilled persons. It also allows use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities when they have been instructed by skilled persons. For a manufacturer, this means the instruction manual must clearly control who may use the appliance and under what supervision or instruction.
Children and maintenance
Clause 7.12 also requires instructions to say that cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children. This is a direct safety communication requirement, so the user documentation must include it in a clear and visible way.
Children, people with disabilities and domestic animals
The European foreword says A11 introduces requirements and instructions for children, people with disabilities and domestic animals. In practice, this shows that the amendment broadens the user-information focus beyond the operator alone and into people and animals that may be affected around the appliance.
Supporting references
Annex ZA adds or updates the listed normative references used by the standard. These include IEC 60335-2-90, ISO 898-1, ISO 3506-1 to ISO 3506-4, ISO 3864-1 and ISO 7010. These references support topics such as commercial microwave ovens, fasteners, and safety signs and markings.
Relationship to the base standards
The amendment supplements or modifies EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+A12:2026 and EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026. For conformity work, this means the amendment is not used on its own but alongside the base Part 2 standard and the general Part 1 requirements.
What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 define?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 uses several user categories that matter for safe operation and instruction writing.
- Instructed persons - people who have been told how to use the appliance safely for its intended commercial purpose.
- Skilled persons - people with the competence to supervise, instruct or work with the appliance safely.
- Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities - users who may use the appliance only when instruction from a skilled person has been given.
- Children - the amendment specifically limits their role in cleaning and user maintenance.
- Commercial microwave appliances - microwave appliances intended for commercial use, not ordinary domestic use.
- Insertion or contacting applicators - the applicator type named in the title and scope of the standard.
Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 is used by manufacturers of commercial microwave appliances, safety engineers, test laboratories and certification bodies. It is also relevant to technical writers and compliance teams because it changes the required instruction text. Buyers and quality managers use it to check whether a product and its documentation match the correct safety standard for commercial use.
What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 from the previous edition?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 supersedes EN IEC 60335-2-110:2021+A1:2023. The amendment introduces updated safety instruction requirements for children, people with disabilities and domestic animals, modifies the scope wording, updates Clause 7.12, adjusts annex references, and adds bibliography entries.
Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 is used with EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026 and the general requirements in EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+A12:2026. Annex ZA names IEC 60335-2-90, ISO 898-1, ISO 3506-1, ISO 3506-2, ISO 3506-3, ISO 3506-4, ISO 3864-1 and ISO 7010 as normative references, each contributing requirements for related product safety, fasteners or safety markings. The Bibliography adds IEC 60335-2-25, IEC 60519-6, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 61010 as related standards for further technical context.
What does the EN IEC 60335-2-110:2026/A11:2026 document contain?
The document contains the amendment text that changes the Introduction, Scope, Marking and instructions, annexes and Bibliography of the base standard. It also contains Annex ZA with the normative-reference mapping and three informative relationship annexes for EU law. For users of the standard, the practical content is the revised instruction wording and the updated reference framework used for design, testing and conformity work.
