Replace “dangerous” with “hazardous” (twice).
5 Modification to Clause 22 “Construction”
22.44
In sub Clause 22.44, replace the text by the following:
An appliance is child-appealing if one of the following criteria is present:
— appliance decorated using faces, cartoon like characters, or similar images;
— appliance using shapes representing animals, characters, persons or scale models.
An appliance is child-appealing if more than one of the following criteria are present:
— using non-functional light (functional light is e.g. illumination of an object or area, signal indicating
status of an appliance);
— using non-functional sound (e.g. music);
— using non-functional movement.
If the appliance is child-appealing, has a mass less than 4 kg or is mounted or normally intended for use at
a height less than 850 mm, the following conditions shall be met:
— No surface (both functional surfaces and non-functional) that are accessible by means of test probe
19 of IEC 61032 located at a height less than 850 mm shall exceed the temperature rises stated below:
Temperature rise
– of bare metal 38K
– of coated metal 42K
– of glass and ceramic 51K
– of plastic having a thickness exceeding 0,4 mm 58K
— Hazardous moving parts shall not be accessible by means of test probe 19 of IEC 61032 under the
conditions specified for test probe 18 in Clause 20.2.
— Live parts shall not be accessible by means of test probe 19 of IEC 61032 under the conditions
specified for test probe 18 in Clause 8.1.1.
— Liquid in the appliance shall not exceed 38 °C in normal use when it is accessible by means of test
probe 19 under the conditions specified for test probe 18 in Clause 20.2 or can get out of the appliance
when positioned in different positions. Vessels in which two independent and sequential actions are
needed to access the liquid are considered to meet the requirement.
— The requirement of 22.12 is applicable for all accessible parts of the appliance.
The requirement is not applicable to appliances where there is a toy shaped like the appliance.
NOTE Z1 An example of a toy shaped like an appliance is a toy refrigerator.
Compliance is checked by inspection and appropriate tests.
6 Modification to Clause 24 “Components”
24.1
In the note, replace the word “NOTE Z3” with “NOTE Z1”
24.1.7 Replace the sub clause with the following:
If the remote operation of the appliance is via a telecommunication network, the relevant standard for the
telecommunication interface circuitry in the appliance is IEC 62151.
