Overview

EN 60335-1:1994/A16:2001 is an amendment (A16) to the European safety standard EN 60335-1:1994 - titled Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements. Published by CENELEC in 2001 and later superseded by EN 60335-1:2002, this document updates the general requirements that apply across the EN 60335 series for household electrical appliance safety. Amendment A16 makes a targeted regulatory change: it removes a special national condition for Greece related to subclause 25.6 in annex ZA.

Key Topics

• General safety scope: Establishes the overarching safety objectives and general requirements that apply to household and similar electrical appliances (design, construction and basic risk controls).
• Regulatory alignment: Confirms CENELEC approval process and national implementation dates when amendments take effect.
• Annex ZA modification: Amendment A16 specifically deletes a Greek national condition regarding subclause 25.6 - showing how national deviations are managed within European standards.
• Versioning and supersession: Notes that A16 applies to the 1994 edition and that the standard was later superseded by EN 60335-1:2002; users should verify the currently applicable edition for compliance.

Applications

Who uses EN 60335-1:1994/A16:2001 and why:

• Manufacturers and designers of household and similar electrical appliances use the Part 1 general requirements to ensure safe product design and to support compliance with product-specific EN 60335 (Part 2) standards.
• Testing and conformity assessment bodies reference Part 1 when performing safety assessments and type testing for appliances.
• Regulators and market surveillance authorities use the standard text and its amendments to harmonize national rules and assess conformity with European electrotechnical requirements.
• Standards committees and compliance engineers consult amendment texts like A16 to track national deviations and transitional arrangements.

Practical value: Even though A16 is narrow in scope, it demonstrates how European amendments resolve national conditions and update harmonized standards; however, for current compliance requirements, stakeholders should refer to the later EN 60335-1:2002 (or the latest edition) and the relevant Part 2 appliance-specific standards.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1:2002 (superseding edition)
• IEC 60335-1 (international counterpart)
• EN 60335 series - Part 2-x appliance-specific standards (for detailed requirements by appliance type)
