FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 is a CENELEC draft European amendment for the safety of household and similar electric floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines. It applies to appliances with rated voltage not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. The amendment updates the Part 2-10 requirements and is read together with the Part 1 general safety standard.

What does FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 specify?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 specifies amendments to the European safety standard for floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines. It keeps the product focus on household and similar purposes and adds European wording, references and annexes that support the combined use of Part 1 and Part 2-10.

The document is arranged as clause-by-clause modifications to the Introduction, Clause 1, Clause 2, Clause 7, Clause 22, Clause 31 and the annexes, followed by bibliography updates. It is read in conjunction with prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024.

Annex	What it covers
ZA	Normative references to international publications and their European equivalents
ZE	Specific additional requirements for appliances and machines intended for commercial use - not applicable
ZZA	Relationship with Directive 2014/35/EU
ZZB	Relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC - not applicable
ZZC	Relationship with Directive 2014/53/EU

What are the key requirements of FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 changes the way the safety requirements are framed, what instructions must say, and how certain design features are treated. In practice, it pushes manufacturers to document safe use more clearly and to avoid functions that can create avoidable hazards.

Scope and hazard basis

Clause 1 replaces the general hazard wording with a focus on reasonably foreseeable hazards encountered by all persons. It also states that people with disabilities can have needs beyond the level addressed in the standard. For users and manufacturers, that means safety evaluation should cover normal foreseeable use and should not assume a one-size-fits-all user profile.

Base standard and normative reference

Clause 2 adds EN IEC 60335-1:2023 as a normative reference. This means the Part 1 general requirements remain the technical base for design and test decisions, and Part 2-10 adds the machine-specific points.

Markings and instructions

Clause 7.12 requires the instructions to cover intended use, user maintenance, operation, training of operators when needed, safe adjustment and maintenance, stability conditions during use and when dismantled or tested, and the correct response to accident or breakdown. The instructions also have to state the maximum weight of the appliance including accessories and packaging. In Clause 7.12.1, repairs are limited to competent persons, which matters because service guidance must prevent unsafe repair work.

Construction limits

Clause 22 adds that remote operation and delayed start timers are not allowed. It also states, for the relevant hazard checks, that the appliance cannot operate continuously in a way that gives rise to a hazard. For product design, this affects control logic, unattended running and timer features.

Corrosion and material behavior

Clause 31 changes the Part 1 rusting requirement so that it is not applicable here. That means designers should follow the specific Part 2-10 approach rather than assuming the general Part 1 corrosion clause applies unchanged.

European conformity links

Annex ZZA and Annex ZZC map the standard to Directive 2014/35/EU and Directive 2014/53/EU. These annexes matter because they show which clauses support presumption of conformity when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.

What terms does FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 define?

• Floor treatment machines - Electric machines used for treating floors, which are part of the appliance family covered by the standard.
• Wet scrubbing machines - Machines that clean floors by wet scrubbing action, also within the covered product family.
• Rated voltage - The electrical voltage basis used to limit the scope of the standard; here it is not more than 250 V.
• Direct current (DC) - Electrical supply in direct current form, which the scope explicitly includes.
• Battery-operated appliances - Appliances powered by batteries, which are included in the scope.
• Competent persons - People qualified to carry out repairs safely, as required by the instructions clause.
• Presumption of conformity - The legal effect described in Annex ZZA and Annex ZZC when the standard is cited for the relevant EU directives.

Who uses FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026?

Manufacturers of household cleaning appliances use FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 to design floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines to the right safety profile. Test laboratories and certification bodies use it to check markings, instructions, construction features and directive links.

Quality managers, compliance teams and technical buyers use it to judge whether a product file covers the right safety clauses and user information. It is also relevant to regulatory teams working on Low Voltage Directive and radio equipment conformity links where the annexes apply.

What changed in FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 from the previous edition?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 is a draft amendment to prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024. The changes stated in the document are:

• revised scope wording on reasonably foreseeable hazards and needs of people with disabilities
• addition of EN IEC 60335-1:2023 to the normative references
• expanded instruction requirements in Clause 7
• prohibition of remote operation and delayed start timer
• clarification that continuous operation cannot create a hazard
• change to Clause 31 so the Part 1 rusting clause is not applicable
• updated annex references, including ZZA, ZZB and ZZC
• bibliography additions for IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-67 and IEC 60335-2-72

The text also states that, with European amendment A11, EN 60335-2-10:2003+A1:2008 is superseded.

Which standards are used with FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 uses EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023 as the general Part 1 safety base for household and similar electrical appliances. Annex ZA also lists IEC 60335-1:2020 and IEC 60584-1, the latter for thermocouple EMF specifications and tolerances.

The bibliography adds IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-67 and IEC 60335-2-72 as related standards in the same appliance family. They help readers place this Part 2-10 amendment alongside neighboring cleaning-appliance safety documents.

What does the FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/FprAA:2026 document contain?

This document is an amendment text, so most of its content is change instructions rather than a full standalone standard. It shows the revised wording for clauses on scope, references, markings and instructions, construction, and resistance to rusting.

It also contains normative Annex ZA and informative Annexes ZZA, ZZB and ZZC, including correspondence tables that link clauses to EU directive objectives. Those tables are used for conformity assessment and for understanding which clauses support presumption of conformity.
