Overview

IEC 60335-2-62:2024 is the fifth-edition IEC safety standard that specifies particular requirements for commercial electric rinsing sinks used in commercial kitchens (restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries and similar non-public areas). It covers electrically operated rinsing sinks with rated voltages up to 250 V for single‑phase appliances connected between phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances. The electrical parts of appliances that also use other energy sources are included. This 2024 edition cancels IEC 60335-2-62:2019 and constitutes a technical revision aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard supplements IEC 60335-1 and addresses the common hazards for commercial rinsing sinks. Major topics include:

• Scope & exclusions: clarifies appliances not intended for public areas and exclusions such as clinical sterilizers, dishwashers (see IEC 60335-2-58), exclusively industrial equipment, or use in corrosive/explosive atmospheres.
• Electrical safety: rated voltage limits, protection against access to live parts, leakage current, electric strength and transient overvoltages.
• Construction & components: mechanical strength, internal wiring, terminals, earthing provisions and assembly torques.
• Thermal & fire safety: heating limits, surface temperature rise, resistance to heat and fire.
• Moisture & endurance: moisture resistance, splash protection, endurance and abnormal operation tests.
• Marking & instructions: mandatory labeling and user/installation instructions to ensure safe use and compliance.
• Testing conditions & criteria: general test conditions, proof tracking tests and clauses for special climates (informative guidance for tropical climates).

Key technical changes in the 2024 edition include alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020, conversion of some notes into normative requirements, and harmonization with standards for commercial catering appliances.

Part 2-62: Particular requirements
for commercial electric rinsing sinks

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition IEC 60335-2-62:2019. A vertical bar appears in the margin

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/7269/FDIS 61/7292/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, under the general title: Household and similar
electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may can differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in
Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety
publications covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing
the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For example, in the case of
temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces,
are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

– 12 – IEC 60335-2-62:2024 RLV © IEC 2024
For stationary appliances equipped with rollers or castors or intended to be moved for cleaning,
the instructions shall state the substance of the following.
This appliance is to be connected with flexible connections for equipotential bonding and
connection to services such as electricity supply, water supply, gas supply and steam supply
such that the appliance can be moved in the direction required for cleaning at a distance
not less than the dimension of the appliance in the direction of movement plus 500 mm
without the flexible connections becoming taut or being subject to strain.
7.12.4 Addition:
The instructions for built-in appliances having a separate control panel for several appliances
shall state that the control panel is only to be connected to the specified appliances in order to
avoid a possible hazard.
7.15 Addition:

appliance and, if not visible when the appliance is installed as in normal use, shall be included
in the instructions or on an additional label that can be fixed near the appliance after installation.
NOTE 101 An example of such an appliance is a built-in appliance.
7.101 Appliances intended to be filled by hand or a manually operated tap shall be marked
with an indicated level.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
8 Protection against access to live parts
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
8.101 Heating elements that are liable to be touched accidentally by a fork or similar pointed
object in normal use shall be so protected that it is not possible to touch their live parts with
such an object.
Compliance is checked by inserting test probe 12 of IEC 61032 at all points where the probe
can enter in the vicinity of live parts. The probe is applied with a force not exceeding 1 N.
9 Starting of motor-operated appliances
This clause of Part 1 is not applicable.
10 Power input and current
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
10.1 Addition:
For appliances having more than one heating unit, the total power input may be determined by
measuring the power input of each heating unit separately (see also 3.1.4).

11 Heating
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
11.2 Addition:
Appliances intended to be fixed to the floor and appliances with a mass greater than 40 kg and
not provided with rollers, castors or similar means for moving the appliance are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions are given, these appliances
are considered as appliances normally intended to be placed on the floor.
11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 101 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the surface in such a
way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured. The
measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
The water temperature is measured 25 mm below the centre of the liquid surface. However, the
distance from the heating element shall be at least 10 mm.
11.4 Replacement:
Appliances are operated under normal operation such that the total power input of the
appliance is 1,15 times rated power input. If it is not possible to switch on all heating elements
at the same time, the test is made with each of the combinations that the switch arrangement
will allow, the highest load possible with each switching arrangement being in circuit.
If the appliance is provided with a control that limits the total power input, the test is made with
whichever combination of heating units, as may can be selected by the control, imposes the
most severe unfavourable condition.
If the temperature rise limits of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are exceeded, the
test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage. In this case, only the
temperature rises of motors, transformers or electronic circuits the components for which the
temperature rise limits were exceeded are measured.
11.7 Modification:
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for
normal operation.
Replacement Addition:
When an appliance is assembled in combination with, equipped with or incorporating
accessories or other appliances, the interactions shall be covered if they are provided to operate
simultaneously as stated by the manufacturer or by a common control.

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s).
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect
thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which may
be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the
latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION to IEC 60335-1:2020
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website –
www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.
If the functions of an appliance are covered by different parts 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2
is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of
one function on the other is taken into account.
Throughout this publication, when "part 2" is mentioned, it refers to the relevant part of
IEC 60335.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in
Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not
applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements
for the IEC 60335 series of standards.
Individual countries may wish to consider the application of this standard, as far as is
reasonable, to appliances not mentioned in a part 2, and to appliances designed on new
principles. In this case, consideration should be given to defining normal operation, specifying
the classification of the appliance according to Clause 6 and specifying whether the appliance
is operated attended or unattended. Consideration should also be given to particular categories
of likely users and to related specific risks such as access to live parts, hot surfaces or

hazardous moving parts.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of this standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features which impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.

– 10 – IEC 60335-2-62:2024 EXV © IEC 2024
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with this
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

SAFETY –
Part 2-62: Particular requirements
for commercial electric rinsing sinks

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial rinsing sinks
used in commercial kitchens, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase
appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances.
These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used in areas
not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and
commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries.
The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope
of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types
of appliances.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can be necessary;
– for appliances intended to be used in tropical countries, special requirements can be
necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities,
the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply
authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances designed primarily for sterilizing to clinical standards;
– dishwashers (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the
presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

Part 2-62: Particular requirements
for commercial electric rinsing sinks

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-62 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2019. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) deletion or conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 7.15, 11.7, 22.103, 27.2);

c) clarification that commercial electric rinsing sinks are not intended to be used in areas open
to the public (Clause 1);
d) alignment of some requirements with the standards for commercial catering appliances
(Clause 1, 5.101, 11.4, 11.7, 15.1.1, 22.101, 22.102, 22.103, 23.3, 25.3, 27.2).
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/7269/FDIS 61/7292/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, under the general title: Household and similar
electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) 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: Particular requirements for commercial electric rinsing
sinks.
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.

as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules can differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in
Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not
applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements
for the IEC 60335 series of standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.
