IEC 60335-2-5:2012

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
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.
The contents of the interpretation sheet 1 of September 2019 have been included in this copy.

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). Pour les lave-vaisselle électriques à usage collectif, voir la CEI 60335-2-58. Mots-clés: appareils, lave-vaisselle
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60335-1:2010.
Le contenu de la feuille d’interprétation 1 de septembre 2019 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

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
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they h
