General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 60335-2-29:2021/A1:2021 is a European standard issued by CLC that specifies safety requirements for battery chargers intended for household and similar electrical appliances. This standard applies to electric battery chargers that output at safety extra-low voltage with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V. It builds on IEC 60335-2-29:2016/A1:2019 and includes amendments to ensure compliance with the latest safety and performance expectations. The document is critical for manufacturers, testing organizations, and regulatory bodies involved with battery chargers designed for domestic use.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
The standard covers electric battery chargers for household use, emphasizing safe operation at voltages up to 250 V. It addresses chargers with DC output currents not exceeding 20 A and applies to type 1 (safety isolating transformer supplied) and type 2 (isolating transformer supplied) chargers.Definitions and Terminology
Includes specific definitions related to physical characteristics (rated voltage/current), means of connection, appliance types, and parts such as isolating transformers. It clarifies terms like ripple-free direct current and normal operation conditions.Marking and User Instructions
Requirements for clear and visible markings include warnings such as "Before charging, read the instructions," usage symbols (e.g., indoor use only), and precautions regarding ventilation and earthing socket outlets. The amendments specify instructions tailored to charger type, battery specifications, environmental conditions, and safety warnings against charging non-rechargeable batteries.Safety and Construction Requirements
Specifies that type 1 chargers must have output circuits powered via safety isolating transformers with reinforced insulation, ensuring separation from live parts or earth. Type 2 chargers require an isolating transformer for the output circuit. This section also governs clearances, insulation, and protection against access to live parts to prevent electric shock.Performance and Testing
The standard requires that output voltage and current adhere closely to manufacturer ratings, with defined tolerances (output current within 10% of rated value). Tests involve using representative circuits or batteries to verify compliance under normal and specified conditions.Isolating Transformer Standards
Refers to IEC 61558-2-4:2009 for isolating transformer safety, including overload protection, construction criteria, and requirements for clearances and creepage distances. Annex BB details how these transformers are tested and marked.
Applications
EN 60335-2-29:2021/A1:2021 is essential for:
Manufacturers of Household Battery Chargers
Ensuring products meet safety and performance criteria, allowing market access across EU member countries.Product Testing and Certification Bodies
Using prescribed testing methods to verify compliance with safety limits on output voltage/current, insulation, and user safety features.Design and Development Teams
Guiding the integration of isolating transformers, safety markings, and user instruction designs in charger development cycles.Regulatory and Standards Organizations
Harmonizing national regulations with this European harmonized standard to support consumer safety and product interoperability.
