FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/4837/FDIS 61/4875/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report

3 Definitions
Replace the title of Clause 3 but not the clause number, by the following:
Terms and definitions
Add the following definitions:
3.102
UV-C emitter
radiating source constructed to emit non-ionizing electromagnetic energy at wavelengths of
100 nm to 280 nm
3.103
UV radiation air-cleaning appliance
appliance that incorporates UV-C emitters to inactivate air-borne microbes
7 Marking and instructions
Add the following new subclause:
7.1 Addition:
UV radiation air-cleaning appliances containing replaceable UV-C emitters shall be marked
with the type reference of the emitter and with the substance of the following warning:
WARNING: UV radiation is dangerous for the eyes and skin. Do not operate the UV-C
emitter outside the appliance.
If it is intended that replacement of the UV-C emitter can be carried out by the user, the
appliance shall be marked with “Read the instructions” or with symbol
ISO 7000-0790 (2004-01).
7.12
Add the following to the addition:
The instructions for UV radiation air-cleaning appliances shall give details concerning:
– the method, frequency of cleaning, and necessary precautions to be taken;
– precautions to be taken when replacing UV-C emitters and starters, if applicable.
The instructions of appliances containing UV-C emitters shall contain the substance of the
following:
– This appliance contains a UV-C emitter.

– 4 – IEC 60335-2-65:2002/AMD2:2015
© IEC 2015
– Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing may result in the escape of
dangerous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation may, even in little doses, cause harm to the
eyes and skin.
– Appliances that are obviously damaged must not be operated.
– If the replacement of the UV-C emitter by the user is not allowed, this must be clearly
stated.
The instructions of appliances containing replaceable UV-C emitters shall also contain the
substance of the following:
– Read the maintenance instructions before opening the appliance;
– The appliance must be disconnected from the supply before replacing the UV-C emitter.
22 Construction
Add the following new subclauses:
22.103 UV radiation air-cleaning appliances shall not emit UV radiation in hazardous
amounts:
– before, during or after installation;
– during operation;
– during maintenance;
– during cleaning;
– during replacement of the UV-C emitter.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the tests of Clause 32. If a switch is used to de-
energize the UV-C emitter so as to meet the requirement, it shall not be possible to operate
the switch with test probe B of IEC 61032.
22.104 If the replacement of the UV-C emitter is allowed by the user, the appliance shall be
constructed so that
– the replacement of the UV-C emitter is easily possible;
– if screws or components are omitted or incorrectly positioned or fastened, the appliance is
rendered inoperable or manifestly incomplete;
– the UV-C emitter is deactivated by an interlock actuated by opening or removing of a part
to gain access.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.
22.105 If the replacement of the UV-C emitter by the user is not intended, this shall be
prevented by the construction of the appliance.
Compliance is checked by inspection and, if necessary, by manual test.
NOTE The requirement can be met if the emitter can only be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
together with a part of the appliance.
22.106 Parts of organic material that are exposed to direct or reflected UV-C radiation shall
be UV-C resistant.
Compliance is checked by inspection and, if necessary, by manual test.

23 Internal wiring
Replace the existing text by the following:
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
23.101 Internal wiring that is exposed to direct or reflected UV-C radiation shall be UV-C
resistant.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
Samples of the internal wiring are conditioned in accordance with Annex AA.
On completion of the conditioning, the cable is wrapped in metal foil and is wound around a
conductive mandrel 15 mm in diameter for three turns. A voltage of 2 000 V is applied for
15 min between the conductor and the mandrel. There shall be no break down.
32 Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
Replace the existing text by the following:
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
32.101 The ozone concentration produced by air-cleaning appliances shall not be
excessive.
Compliance is checked by the following test, which is carried out in a room without openings
having dimensions of 2,5 m × 3,5 m × 3,0 m, the walls being covered with polyethylene sheet.
If the instructions state that the appliance is to be fixed in a room having a volume exceeding
30 m , the dimensions of the test room are increased accordingly.
The appliance is positioned in accordance with the instructions. Appliances used on a table
are placed in the centre of the room approximately 750 mm above the floor.
The room is maintained at approximately 25 °C and 50 % relative humidity. The appliance is
supplied at rated voltage for 24 h, removable filters being removed if this is more
unfavourable.
The ozone sampling tube is to be located in the air stream 50 mm from the air outlet of the
appliance. The background ozone concentration measured prior to the test is subtracted from
the maximum concentration measured during the test.
–6
The percentage of ozone in the room shall not exceed 5 × 10 .
32.102 Appliances shall not emit radiation in hazardous amount.
Compliance is checked by the followings test.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. The
irradiance is measured at a distance of 300 mm, the measuring instrument being positioned
so that the highest radiation is recorded. If the appliance has an inspection window, the
measuring distance is reduced to 0 mm.
The measuring instrument used shall measure the mean irradiance
