Overview

EN 60335-2-10:2003/FprAA:2015 is a European safety standard focusing on household and similar electrical appliances, specifically addressing floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines. Developed under the umbrella of CLC/TC 61, this standard outlines particular safety requirements intended to mitigate risks associated with these appliances during typical consumer use. While the draft amendment was submitted in 2016, it was rejected due to missing Annex ZZ, but the content remains critical in guiding manufacturers and testing bodies in ensuring product safety.

This standard is part of a wider harmonized framework for electrical appliance safety aligned with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD - 2006/95/EC) and complements EN 60335-1:2012, which covers general safety requirements for household electrical appliances.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  The document specifically targets floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines used in domestic environments. It recognizes the hazards these machines present, particularly to general users, while noting it does not fully cover risks related to children playing with the appliances or vulnerable groups.

• Mechanical Safety Requirements

  • Appliances must maintain stability to avoid accidental activation from overturning, ensuring hazardous moving parts are not accessible if tipped.
  • Rotating brushes and driven components must be shielded to prevent inadvertent contact under normal operating conditions. Compliance is verified using foot probe tests to simulate accidental human contact.
  • Mechanical strength tests require appliances to withstand repeated impact (e.g., three blows of 1.0 J to enclosure points likely to be weak), ensuring durability and user safety.

• Construction and Design

  • Hinged handles heavier than 0.5 kg require intentional user action (e.g., lever or release mechanism) to prevent accidental movement or operation.
  • Power supply cords must be protected from damage if the appliance runs over them during use.
  • Openings for rotating brushes driven by the main motor are limited to a maximum dimension of 120 mm to reduce access to hazards.

• Testing Procedures
  Methodologies for mechanical testing, stability checks, and accessibility tests are detailed, including the use of standardized probes and positioning of the appliance in its most unfavorable orientation to assess risk rigorously.

Applications

This standard is essential for manufacturers, testing labs, and regulatory bodies focused on the safety of floor cleaning and wet scrubbing appliances used in household and similar environments. Practical uses include:

• Designing safer floor treatment machines with adequate stability and protection against accidental operation.
• Establishing product testing protocols to verify compliance before market entry.
• Informing risk assessments related to moving mechanical parts and electrical hazards in cleaning appliances.
• Supporting certification processes necessary for compliance with European electrical appliance safety directives.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1:2012 – General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances; EN 60335-2-10 must be read in conjunction with this foundational standard.
• EN 60335-2-10:2003 + A1:2008 – The original and amended versions of the particular requirements for floor treatment machines, which the 2015 draft amendment proposes to update.
• Low Voltage Directive (LVD 2006/95/EC) – European directive governing the safety of electrical equipment operating within certain voltage limits; this standard supports compliance with LVD.
• Other sectional standards for household appliance safety developed by CLC/TC 61 covering diverse product categories to ensure comprehensive safety regulations.
