Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General requirements

Deals with the safety of electrical appliances for household and similar purposes. It deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. It also covers appliances used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms (such as catering equipment, and industrial and commercial cleaning appliances). The rated voltage of the appliances are not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.

Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 1: Prescriptions générales

Traite de la sécurité des appareils électriques pour usages domestiques et analogues. Elle traite des risques ordinaires présentés par les appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l'intérier et autour de l'habitation. Elle couvre aussi les appareils utilisés par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes (par exemple, le matériel de restauration, et les appareils de nettoyage à usage industriel et commercial). La tension assignée des appareils n'est pas superiérure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2002-07-02. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Ref. No. EN 60335-1:2002 E
Foreword
The text of document 61/1965/FDIS, future fourth edition of IEC 60335-1, prepared by the
IEC Technical Committee 61, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote in January 2001. The
comments were discussed during the Delft meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in May 2001 when it was
decided to submit some common modifications to the formal vote (2MV).

This draft was circulated in November 2001, but did not receive sufficient support. The comments
were discussed during the Kista meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in May 2002 when it was decided to
retain only the common modifications from the previous edition. This new draft was approved by
CENELEC as EN 60335-1 on 2002-07-02.

The following date is applicable:
- latest date by which the EN has to be
implemented at national level by publication of an
identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2003-07-01

This European Standard replaces EN 60335-1:1994 and its amendments. However, EN 60335-1:1994
remains valid until all the parts 2 that are used in conjunction with it have been withdrawn. No date of
withdrawal of conflicting national standards (dow) has therefore been fixed. However, when Part 1 is
used for appliances not covered by a part 2, EN 60335-1:1994 is not to be used after 2008-07-01.

This part of EN 60335 is to be used in conjunction with the appropriate part 2. The parts 2 contain
clauses to supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1 to provide the relevant
requirements for each type of appliance.

NOTE 1  Subclauses, notes and annexes that are additional to those in IEC 60335-1 are prefixed with the letter Z.

Special national conditions causing a deviation from this European Standard are listed in Annex ZA.

National deviations from this European Standard are listed in Annex ZB.

Annexes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, N, ZA and ZC are normative and form an integral part of this
standard.
Annexes A, L, O, ZB and ZD are for information only.

NOTE 2  The following annexes contain provisions suitably modified from other IEC standards:
– Annex E Needle flame test IEC 60695-2-2
– Annex F Capacitors IEC 60384-14
– Annex G Safety isolating transformers IEC 61558-1 and IEC 61558-2-6
– Annex H Switches IEC 61058-1
– Annex J Coated printed circuit boards IEC 60664-3
– Annex N Proof tracking test IEC 60112

NOTE 3  The following print types are used:
- requirements: in roman type;
- test specifications: in italic type;
- notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated
noun are also in bold.
p NOTE  In this document, p is used in the margin to indicate instructions for preparing the printed version.

The contents of the corrigendum of July 2009 have been included in this copy.

A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside
the competence of the CEN/CENELEC member.

This European Standard falls under Directive 73/23/EEC.

NOTE (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2, 3.1.9): Where standards fall under EC Directives, it is the view of the Commission of the
European Communities (OJ No C 59; 1982-03-09) that the effect of the decision of the Court of Justice in case 815/79
Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980, p. 3583) is that compliance with A-deviations is no longer mandatory and
that the free movement of products complying with such a standard should not be restricted except under the safeguard procedure
provided for in the relevant Directive.

A-deviations in an EFTA-country are valid instead of the relevant provisions of the European Standard
in that country until they have been removed.

Clause Deviation
4 Switzerland (Ordinance relating to Environmentally Hazardous Substances, SR 814.81
of 2005-05-18, Annex 2.15)
Carbon-zinc batteries shall not be imported as commercial goods or supplied by a
