IEC 60335-2-41:2012

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-41: Particular requirements for pumps

IEC 60335-2-41:2012 deals with the safety of electric pumps for liquids having a temperature not exceeding 90 °C, intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. Examples of appliances within the scope of this standard are aquarium pumps, pumps for garden ponds, shower-boost pumps, sludge pumps, submersible pumps, table fountain pumps and vertical wet pit pumps. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 including its Amendment 1 (2004) and its Amendment 2 (2009). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-41 are as follows:
- added a normative reference to IEC 60364-7-702 and updated the title for IEC 60364-7-701,
- clarified the normal operation for pumps in 3.1.9,
- added requirements for deep well pumps in 3.105 and 25.8,
- modified 15.102 to indicate that the tube connecting the inlet to the outlet may go via a tank containing a suitable volume of water so as to avoid overheating the pump,
- deleted references in the bibliography and deleted or converted to normative the notes from 7.1, 22.101, and 22.106. 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. Keywords: Pumps, submersible, sludge, shower-boost.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-41: Règles particulières pour les pompes

La CEI 60335-2-41:2012 traite de la sécurité des pompes électriques pour liquides dont la température ne dépasse pas 90 °C, pour usages domestiques et analogues, et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils. Comme exemples d'appareils compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme, on peut citer les pompes pour aquariums, les pompes pour bassins de jardin, les pompes de circulation pour douches, les pompes à boue, les pompes submersibles, les pompes pour fontaines de table et les pompes verticales noyées. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition publiée en 2002 y compris ses Amendements 1 (2004) et 2 (2009) et constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications de la présente édition par rapport à la troisième édition de la CEI 60335-2-41 sont les suivantes (les changements mineurs ne sont pas listés):
- Ajout d'une référence normative à la CEI 60364-7-702 et mise à jour du titre de la CEI 60364-7-701,
- clarification des conditions de fonctionnement normal des pompes en 3.1.9, ajout d'exigences relatives aux pompes pour puits profonds en 3.105 et 25.8,
- modification de 15.102 en vue d'indiquer que le tuyau raccordant l'entrée à la sortie peut passer par un réservoir contenant un volume d'eau qui convient, en vue d'éviter une surchauffe de la pompe,
- suppression de références dans la bibliographie et
- suppression ou conversion en texte normatif des notes de 7.1, 22.101 et 22.106. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de l'amendement 2 soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois et au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Mots-clés: Pompes, submersible, boue, douche

Part 2-41: Particular requirements for pumps

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 have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 including its
Amendment 1 (2004) and its Amendment 2 (2009). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-41 are
as follows (minor changes are not listed):
• Added a normative reference to IEC 60364-7-702 and updated the title for
IEC 60364-7-701.
• Clarified the normal operation for pumps in 3.1.9.
• Added requirements for deep well pumps in 3.105 and 25.8.
• Modified 15.102 to indicate that the tube connecting the inlet to the outlet may go via a
tank containing a suitable volume of water so as to avoid overheating the pump.
• Deleted references in the bibliography.
