FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by committee 61: Safety of household and similar
electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
61/4098/CDV 61/4196/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The French version of this amendment has not been voted upon.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 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.

22.101 Delete the second sentence in the first paragraph of the requirement.
Replace the test specification by the following:
Compliance is checked by measurement and by manual test.
22.102 Replace the existing text by the following:
Ironing presses shall be constructed so that the pressing surfaces are held in contact with
each other by using a hand, elbow, knee or foot and so that they separate when the closing
force is released.
The pressing surfaces of ironing presses, intended for direct operation by both hands, may
be locked in contact with each other and shall be constructed so that the pressing surfaces
can be separated without using the hands, even when the supply mains is interrupted.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.

Add the following new subclauses:
22.108 Rotary ironers shall be constructed so that when the means for separating the
surfaces is actuated, the roller shall stop before it has rotated more than 10 mm.
Rotary ironers having surfaces that are lowered and raised by a motor shall be constructed
so that the surfaces separate as soon as the closing force is released.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage with the surfaces in the closed position. The
means for separating the surfaces is then actuated. The surfaces shall separate as soon as
the closing force is released and the roller shall stop before it has rotated more than 10 mm.
If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the appliance is supplied at
rated voltage with the surfaces in the closed position and is further tested as follows.
The electromagnetic phenomena test of 19.11.4.2 and 19.11.4.5 are applied in turn. During
application of the electromagnetic phenomena tests, the means for separating the surfaces is
actuated. The surfaces shall immediately separate and the roller shall stop before it has
rotated more than 10 mm.
The fault conditions in a) to g) of 19.11.2 are applied one at a time to the electronic circuit.
During application of each of the fault conditions, the means for separating the surfaces is
actuated. The surfaces shall immediately separate and the roller shall stop before it has
rotated more than 10 mm.
If the electronic circuit is programmable, the software shall contain measures to control the
fault/error conditions specified in Table R.1 and is evaluated in accordance with the relevant
requirements of Annex R.
22.109 The pressing surfaces of ironing presses, intended for direct operation by both
hands, may be locked in contact with each other provided that the heating elements are
automatically switched off within
