Overview

SIST EN 60335-2-4:2010/A11:2018 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) that specifies the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, focusing particularly on spin extractors. This amendment A11 updates the original EN 60335-2-4:2010 standard to ensure continued compliance with the latest safety directives across Europe.

The standard addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards associated with the use of spin extractors by all users except unsupervised young children and children playing with the appliance. It supports manufacturers, regulators, and testing labs in ensuring that spin extractors meet essential safety criteria under the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.

Key Topics

• Scope: Defines safety requirements for household spin extractors to protect users from electrical, mechanical, and thermal hazards.
• User Considerations: Focuses on general user safety but excludes usage by unsupervised or very young children.
• Hazard Prevention: Covers protection measures against electric shock, fire, injury caused by moving parts, and other potential risks.
• Compliance with EU Directives: Aligns with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, facilitating legal market access in EU countries.
• Updates and Amendments: Supersedes previous versions by integrating changes applicable up to the latest amendment from 2018.
• Integration with EN 60335-1: This part 2-4 standard complements the general safety rules in EN 60335-1 for electrical household appliances.

Applications

SIST EN 60335-2-4:2010/A11:2018 is essential for:

• Manufacturers of Spin Extractors: Ensuring product design meets European safety requirements for market entry.
• Quality Assurance and Compliance Testing: Providing a framework for safety testing and certification labs.
• Regulatory Bodies: Verifying compliance and enforcing safety regulations for household laundry equipment.
• Product Development Teams: Guiding the incorporation of safety features to mitigate risks specific to spin extractors.
• Importers and Distributors: Validating conformity before products reach consumers to avoid liability and recalls.

The standard applies to all types of household spin extractors used for laundry care, facilitating safer end-user products and reducing accidents related to electrical or mechanical faults.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1 (General Safety Requirements): Establishes foundational safety rules for household electrical appliances. EN 60335-2-4 serves as a specialized extension for spin extractors.
• Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive): Harmonized legal framework that ensures electrical equipment meets fundamental safety objectives across the EU.
• EN 60335-2-15: Pertains to washing machines and may overlap in some requirements with spin extractors, addressing overall laundry appliance safety.
• National Implementations of EN 60335-2-4: National electrotechnical committees across European countries adopt this standard to enforce product safety locally.

Summary

SIST EN 60335-2-4:2010/A11:2018 sets the benchmark for electrical safety in household spin extractors in Europe, providing manufacturers and regulatory entities with clear, up-to-date requirements. Compliance with this standard helps prevent electrical hazards and mechanical injuries, improving consumer protection and promoting safer household appliance design.

For any stakeholders involved in the lifecycle of spin extractors-from design through production, testing, and marketing-adherence to EN 60335-2-4 is crucial for legal conformity, safety assurance, and market success within EU and EFTA regions.
