Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-29: Particular requirements for battery chargers
IEC 60335-2-29:2016 deals with the safety of electric battery chargers for household and similar use having an output not exceeding 120 V ripple-free direct current, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Battery chargers intended for charging batteries in a household end use application outside the scope of the IEC 60335 series of standards are within the scope of this standard. Requirements for battery chargers for use by children at least 8 years old without supervision are given in Annex AA. Battery chargers not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as battery chargers intended for use in garages, shops, light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. 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; children playing with the appliance. This standard does not apply to built-in:
- battery chargers, except those for installing in caravans and similar vehicles;
- battery chargers that are part of an appliance, the battery of which is not accessible to the user;
- battery chargers intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
- battery chargers intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
- battery chargers for emergency lighting or supply units for electronic equipment. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth 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 fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-29 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
- Revised the drop test to refer to IEC 60068-2-31 (21.101);
- Requirements for supply cords on battery chargers used at low temperatures (25.7);
- Requirements for battery chargers having an output voltage exceeding SELV have been added (1, 3.2.2, 3.4.3, 10.101, 24.4, 25.5, 25.7, 25.8, 25.15. 26.5);
- A classification for battery chargers used outdoors has been added (6.2, 29.2) and some notes in Clause 1, Subclauses 7.1 and 22.102, Figure 101 and Annex AA 11.8 have been converted to normative text. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. 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 standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication. Key words: Battery, Battery Charger
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.
Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-29: Exigences particulières pour les chargeurs de batterie
L'IEC 60335-2-29:2016 traite de la sécurité des chargeurs de batterie électriques pour usages domestiques et analogues, dont la tension de sortie ne dépasse pas 120 V en courant continu lisse et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V. Les chargeurs de batterie destinés au chargement de batteries dans une application finale à usage domestique non couverte par le domaine d'application de la série de normes IEC 60335 sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les exigences relatives aux chargeurs de batterie destinés à être utilisés par des enfants âgés de 8 ans au moins sans surveillance sont décrites dans l'Annexe AA. Les chargeurs de batterie destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui néanmoins peuvent constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les chargeurs de batterie destinés à être utilisés dans des garages, dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers ordinaires présentés par les appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, cette norme ne tient pas compte en general des personnes (y compris des enfants) don't 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 présente norme ne s'applique pas:
- aux chargeurs de batterie encastrés, à l'exception de ceux destinés à être montés dans les caravanes ou véhicules analogues;
- aux chargeurs de batterie qui font partie d'un appareil dont la batterie n'est pas accessible à l'utilisateur;
- aux chargeurs de batterie prévus exclusivement pour les usages industriels;
- aux chargeurs de batterie destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, par exemple, des atmosphères corrosives ou explosives (poussières, vapeur ou gaz);
- aux chargeurs de batteries pour éclairage de secours ou aux modules d'alimentation pour les équipements électroniques. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2002, son Amendement 1 (2004) et son Amendement 2 (2009). Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications majeures suivantes par rapport à la quatrième édition de l'IEC 60335-2-29 (les modifications mineures ne sont pas répertoriées):
- Révision de l'essai de chute pour faire référence à l'IEC 60068-2-31 (21.101);
- Exigences relatives aux câbles d'alimentation sur les chargeurs de batterie utilisés à basse température (25.7);
- Ajout d'exigences relatives aux chargeurs de batterie ayant une tension de sortie supérieure à la TBTS (1, 3.2.2, 3.4.3, 10.101, 24.4, 25.5, 25.7, 25.8, 25.15. 26.5);
- Ajout d'une classification pour les chargeurs de batterie utilisés à l'extérieur (6.2, 29.2);
- Conversion de certaines notes dans l'Article 1, les Paragraphes 7.1 et 22.102, la Figure 101 et l'Annexe AA 11.8 en texte normatif. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme. 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 IEC, 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 cette norme soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois et au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Mots clés: batterie, chargeur de batterie
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la IEC 60335-1:2010.

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

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
