Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers

IEC 60335-2-5:2012 deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household and similar purposes that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may also be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. However, if the appliance is intended to be used professionally for washing and rinsing dishes and cutlery and other utensils that are used for commercial purposes, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction or children playing with the appliance. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2002 including its Amendment 1 (2005) and its Amendment 2 (2008). The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-5 are as follows: - added requirements to 22.104 to address switch issues; - converted notes to normative text (3.1.9, 7.12, 10.1, 10.2, 15.101, 22.6, 22.103, AA.1, AA.2, Annex BB - Clause 4) and - deleted notes (19.101, 22.6, 23.101, AA.2). For commercial electric dishwashing machines, see IEC 60335-2-58. Keywords: Appliances, Dishwashers

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-5: Exigences particulières pour les lave-vaisselle

La CEI 60335-2-5:2012 traite de la sécurité des lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique et analogue destinés à laver et à rincer la vaisselle, les couverts et d'autres ustensiles, dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils. Les appareils destinés à un usage domestique et analogue normal et qui peuvent également être utilisés par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Toutefois, si l'appareil est destiné à être utilisé par des professionnels pour laver et rincer la vaisselle, les couverts et d'autres ustensiles qui sont utilisés à des fins commerciales, l'appareil n'est pas considéré comme étant uniquement à usage domestique et analogue. Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des risques ordinaires présentés par les appareils qui sont encourus par tous les individus à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, cette norme ne tient pas compte en général des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales, ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissance les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction; de l'utilisation de l'appareil comme jouet par des enfants. La sixième édition annule et remplace la cinquième édition publiée en 2002, son Amendement 1 (2005) et son Amendement 2 (2008). Les principales modifications de la présente édition par rapport à la cinquième édition de la CEI 60335-2-5 sont les suivantes (les changements mineurs ne sont pas listés): - ajout d'exigences en 22.104 pour résoudre les problèmes de commutation; - conversion des notes en texte normatif (3.1.9, 7.12, 10.1, 10.2, 15.101, 22.6, 22.103, AA.1, AA.2, Annexe BB - Article 4); suppression de notes (19.101, 22.6, 23.101, AA.2).

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-5. del: Posebne zahteve za pomivalne stroje

Besedilo se zamenja z naslednjim:
To točko 1. dela nadomešča naslednje besedilo. Ta evropski standard obravnava varnost električnih pomivalnih strojev za gospodinjske in podobne namene, kot so pranje in spiranje posode, jedilnega pribora ter drugih pripomočkov, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne aparate in 480 V za druge aparate. Področje uporabe tega evropskega standarda zajema aparate, ki so namenjeni za laično uporabo v trgovinah in drugih objektih za običajne gospodinjske namene.
OPOMBA Z101: Primeri aparatov za uporabo v gospodinjstvu so aparati za običajne gospodinjske funkcije, ki se uporabljajo v gospodinjstvu in jih lahko uporabljajo tudi neprofesionalni uporabniki za opravljanje običajnih gospodinjskih funkcij:
– v trgovinah in drugih podobnih delovnih okoljih;
– na kmetijah;
– s strani strank v hotelih, motelih in drugih stanovanjskih okoljih;
– v gostiščih.
OPOMBA Z102: Gospodinjstva vključujejo stanovanjske in povezane zgradbe, vrt itd. Ta evropski standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo aparati ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v podobnih okoljih. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov:
– otrok, ki se z napravo igrajo,
– zelo majhnih otrok, ki uporabljajo aparate,
– majhnih otrok, ki aparate uporabljajo brez nadzora,
– uporabniškega vzdrževanja, vključno s čiščenjem aparata, ki ga izvajajo otroci.
Ugotovljeno je, da imajo lahko zelo ranljive osebe potrebe, ki presegajo raven, obravnavano v tem evropskem standardu. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za:
– komercialne električne pomivalne stroje (EN 60335-2-58),
– aparate za izključno industrijske namene,
– aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo na lokacijah, kjer veljajo posebne razmere, kot je prisotnost korozivne ali eksplozivne atmosfere (prah, hlapi ali plin).
OPOMBA Z103: Upoštevati je treba tudi, da:
– so za aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v vozilih ali na krovu ladij ali letal, morda potrebne dodatne zahteve;
– v številnih državah nacionalni zdravstveni organi, nacionalni organi, odgovorni za varstvo pri delu, nacionalni organi za oskrbo z vodo ter drugi podobni organi določajo dodatne zahteve.

Overview

EN 60335-2-5:2015 (IEC 60335-2-5:2012 modified) is the CLC/CENELEC standard that specifies safety requirements for household and similar electric dishwashers. It applies to appliances intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils at rated voltages up to 250 V single-phase and 480 V for other appliances. The standard supplements EN 60335-1 (general safety for household appliances) with dishwasher-specific tests, limits and construction rules. Commercial dishwashing machines are excluded (see EN 60335-2-58).

Key Topics

• Scope & classification
  • Defines household and similar environments (homes, farms, small shops, hotels, B&Bs) and excludes professional/industrial equipment.
• Electrical limits
  • Voltage classification and references to Part 1 for electrical safety, leakage current and dielectric strength tests.
• Heating and temperature rise
  • Requirements for maximum surface temperature rises under normal operation (see added Table Z101) and measurement rules (e.g., underside and rear surfaces exceptions).
• Stability & mechanical hazards
  • Mechanical stability tests and program behaviour: when the door is opened the programme cycle shall stop (20.102).
• Construction & components
  • Requirements for internal wiring, components, terminals, protections and switches (additional/modified clauses to address switch issues).
• Moisture, endurance and abnormal operation
  • Tests for moisture resistance, endurance and abnormal conditions to cover common household hazards.
• Normative annexes
  • Annex AA (detergent and rinsing agent) and Annex BB (ageing test for elastomeric parts) are included as normative material.
• Edition changes
  • Sixth edition cancels the 2002 edition and its amendments; principal changes include added switch requirements, conversion of notes to normative text, and deletion of some notes.

Applications

Who uses EN 60335-2-5:2015:

• Appliance manufacturers - design and production guidance to meet European safety requirements and support CE marking.
• Test laboratories - conformity and type-testing against prescribed temperature rise, leakage current, mechanical and electrical tests.
• Safety engineers & product managers - risk assessment, component selection (switches, seals, heating elements) and instruction/marking development.
• Regulators & procurement - verifying compliance for household-use dishwashers in retail and residential settings.

Practical value:

• Ensures user safety by addressing electrical shock, burns, mechanical injury and fire risk specific to dishwashers.
• Clarifies household vs commercial boundary (directs commercial models to EN 60335-2-58).
• Provides standardized test methods and limits for design validation.

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for dishwashers.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”,
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
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.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
