Overview

EN 60335-2-59:2003 (based on IEC 60335-2-59:2002) is the European safety standard that sets particular requirements for electric insect killers intended for household and similar use. It covers appliances with a rated voltage not more than 250 V and is intended to be used together with EN 60335-1 (General requirements). The standard was approved by CENELEC in 2003 and supersedes earlier editions.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and application: Safety requirements specific to insect killers (electric insect killers) for domestic and similar environments; supplements and modifies EN 60335-1 where necessary.
• Electrical safety: Applies in conjunction with the general electrical safety clauses of EN 60335-1 for household appliances (rated voltage ≤ 250 V).
• Radiation and toxicity: Addresses hazards from lamp radiation and toxic by-products. The standard specifies how irradiance is measured once a lamp has stabilized and defines how effective irradiance is calculated using spectral weighting factors (see Table Z101).
• Environmental resistance: Includes normative references to environmental testing, e.g. IEC 60068-2-52 (salt mist, cyclic), to address corrosion and durability where applicable.
• Conformity with EU directives: The standard notes coverage of essential safety objectives under the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) and considers Machinery Directive aspects for products with mechanical parts.
• Structure and modifications: Part 2 uses a numbering convention for additional clauses, notes and annexes (Z-prefixed items) and contains CENELEC common modifications such as Annex ZC linking international references to European publications.

Applications and who uses it

EN 60335-2-59 is used by:

• Manufacturers of electric insect killers to design and certify safe products for household and similar markets.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors performing safety testing and verification against both EN 60335-1 and Part 2-59 requirements.
• Regulatory and compliance engineers who demonstrate conformity with EU safety directives (Low Voltage Directive and related requirements).
• Importers, distributors and purchasers seeking assurance that insect killers meet recognized European safety standards.

Related standards

• EN 60335-1 - Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General requirements
• IEC 60335-2-59 - International counterpart to EN 60335-2-59
• IEC 60068-2-52 - Environmental testing (salt mist, cyclic) - referenced norm
• Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) and Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) - regulatory context
