Overview

EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020/A1:2021 is a European harmonized standard addressing the safety requirements for electrical animal-stunning equipment used in household and commercial environments. This standard applies to manual, semi-automatic, and automatic electrical devices designed for industrial or agricultural use, particularly on farms and other areas where animal stunning is performed. It aims to minimize risk to users and the public by specifying rigorous safety protocols for the design, construction, and operation of these appliances.

The standard is an amendment (A1:2021) to EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020 and was developed under the Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC). It complements the general safety requirements outlined in EN 60335-1 but focuses on particular safety needs associated with electrically powered animal-stunning equipment. EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020/A1:2021 aligns with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifications, ensuring broad applicability across European jurisdictions.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Covers electrical animal-stunning equipment intended for professional use in animal husbandry and breeding industries. Includes manual, semi-automatic, and automatic stunning devices.

• Safety Requirements
  Focuses on protection from electrical hazards, mechanical safety, prevention of unintended operation, and durability under typical environmental conditions found on farms or processing facilities.

• Marking and Instructions
  Specifies clear labeling requirements, including prohibition signs such as “connection to mains-operated equipment prohibited,” with details on size and clarity to ensure user awareness and compliance.

• Battery-Operated Appliances
  Includes amendments related to battery-powered stunning devices, particularly those with non-rechargeable batteries or batteries not recharged within the equipment, ensuring safe handling and maintenance.

• Implementation and Compliance
  Encourages national adoption of the standard with a transition period of 12 to 36 months, providing manufacturers and testing organizations sufficient time for compliance and adaptation to amended requirements.

Applications

EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020/A1:2021 is essential for:

• Farm Equipment Manufacturers
  Designing and producing safe electrical stunning devices for livestock and poultry applications in compliance with European safety laws.

• Industrial Meat Processing
  Ensuring safe operation of stunning equipment in slaughterhouses where electrical appliances are integral to humane animal handling processes.

• Compliance and Testing Bodies
  Certifying electrical animal-stunning equipment against safety benchmarks to reduce risk of electric shock, mechanical injury, or accidental activation in professional settings.

• Agricultural Safety Management
  Providing guidelines for safe installation, maintenance, and operational procedures to protect workers and the public from electrical and mechanical hazards associated with animal stunning technologies.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1: Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - General requirements
  This standard lays the foundation for electrical safety and performance tests, serving as the general framework alongside the specific provisions of EN IEC 60335-2-87.

• IEC 60335-2-87:2016 and amendments
  The International Electrotechnical Commission’s base standard offering the global technical reference followed and adopted in the European context through CENELEC.

• National Standards and Regulations
  EN IEC 60335-2-87 and its amendments are integrated into national standards across CENELEC member countries, harmonizing safety requirements while respecting local legal frameworks.
