SAFETY OF HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –

Part 2: Particular requirements for electric animal-stunning equipment

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60335-2-87 has been prepared by subcommittee 61H: Safety of
electrically-operated farm appliances, of IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61H/124/FDIS 61H/129/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
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 third edition (1991) of that standard and its
amendment 1 (1994).
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 electric animal-stunning
equipment.
Where a particular subclause of part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. Where this standard states "addition", "modification or "replacement",
the relevant text in part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.

NOTE 1 – The following print types are used:

– requirements proper: in roman type;

– test specifications: in italic type;

–  notes: in smaller roman type.

Words in bold in the text are defined in clause 2. When a definition of part 1 concerns an adjective, the adjective
and the associated noun are also in bold.

NOTE 2 – Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in part 1 are numbered starting from 101.

The following additional differences exist in some countries:

– 25.7: Ordinary polyvinyl chloride cords are allowed (Australia, New Zealand).

SAFETY OF HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –

Part 2: Particular requirements for electric animal-stunning equipment

1 Scope
This clause of part 1 is replaced by:

This standard deals with the safety of electric animal-stunning equipment the rated voltage
of which is not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
This standard is applicable to electric animal-stunning equipment for industrial or
commercial use, for use on farms or for use in areas where they may be a source of danger to
the public.
So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types
of appliances.
NOTE 1 – Examples of electric animal-stunning equipment within the scope of this standard are those used to
stun:
– bovines such as cattle, calves, cows, heifers and bulls;
– ovines such as sheep and lambs;
– caprines such as goats;
– cervids such as deer;
– solipeds such as horses, donkeys and mules;
– birds such as chickens, turkeys and guinea fowl;
– porcines such as pigs;
– fur animals such as foxes, chinchilla, rabbits and possums;
– mustelids such as mink and polecats,
– other ruminants such as camels.
NOTE 2 – The following types of electric animal-stunning equipment are covered by this standard:
– manual, semi-automatic and automatic.
NOTE 3 – Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for intended to be used on board ships, additional requirements may be
electric animal-stunning equipment
necessary;
– for electric animal-stunning equipment intended to be used in tropical countries, special requirements may 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;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified concerning the humane slaughter of animals.
NOTE 4 – This standard does not apply to:
– 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);
– electric fishing machines (see IEC 60335-2-86);
– electric fence energizers (see IEC 60335-2-76);
– meat tenderizers, carcass immobilizers, carcass stiffeners, spinal discharge equipment or similar equipment.

2 Definitions
This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows:

2.2.9 Replacement:
normal operation
The electric animal-stunning equipment is operated as in normal use when connected to the

supply with electrodes connected to the output terminals of the stunning equipment. An

adjustable non-inductive resistor is connected between the electrodes. The resistor is adjusted

so that can flow.
output current
2.9.3 Addition:
NOTE – It also includes terminals for the connection of the batteries and other metal parts in a battery compartment
