Sanitary appliances - Specification for whirlpool baths

This standard specifies requirements for whirlpool baths, having a rated voltage of not more than 250 V for single phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, which are intended to be installed in indoor domestic situations and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for personal hygiene. Such whirlpool baths are tested and supplied as a complete independent unit designed to be drained down after every use.  They may be transported in several separate parts, for assembly on site, to facilitate delivery.
Safety aspects of Whirlpool baths (except use by young children and slow moving/weak elderly or disabled individuals) are covered by EN 60335-2-60.
Exclusions: this standard does not cover additional requirements for whirlpool baths intended for uses where specific medical provisions are required, or whirlpool baths for communal uses where they are not drained down after every use.  Portable whirlpool devices are not covered by this standard.
For the purposes of this standard the term 'domestic situations' includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings.
Warning: Slow moving elderly or disabled persons should take care when using whirlpool baths. Young children should not be allowed to use whirlpool baths without supervision.
Note 1: It is unrealistic to expect manufacturers to provide a definition of what constitutes a 'slow moving elderly or disabled person', or 'young children'.  The former is the responsibility of the individual or a career.  The latter, is a parental responsibility.
Note 2: When EN 60335-2-60 is amended to cover use of whirlpool baths by slow moving elderly or disabled persons and young children the warning given above will be deleted from this standard.

Sanitärausstattungsgegenstände - Anforderungen an Whirlwannen

Diese Norm beschreibt Anforderungen für Whirlwannen, die eine Betriebsspannung von nicht mehr als 250 V für einphasige Geräte und 480 V für andere Geräte besitzen. Sie sind für eine Innenraum-Installation für den häuslichen Gebrauch vorgesehen und werden zur persönlichen Hygiene entsprechend der Herstelleran-weisungen eingesetzt. Whirlwannen dieser Art werden als vollständig ausgerüstete Einheit geprüft und in einer Ausführung ausgeliefert, die nach jedem Gebrauch entleert wird. Sie können in mehreren Einzelteilen zur Montage vor Ort transportiert werden, um die Auslieferung zu erleichtern.
Sicherheitsanforderungen an Whirlwannen (außerhalb der Nutzung durch Kleinkinder und in ihrer Bewegung eingeschränkter und Personen höheren Alters sowie Behinderter) sind in EN 60335-2-60 angegeben.
Ausnahmen: Zusätzliche Anforderungen an Whirlwannen für den medizinischen Einsatz, wo besondere Bestimmungen gelten, oder für die öffentliche Nutzung, bei der die Whirlwannen nicht nach jedem Gebrauch entleert werden, sind von dieser Norm nicht abgedeckt.
Für die Belange dieser Norm beinhaltet der Begriff ?häuslicher Gebrauch" auch die Nutzung in Hotels, Studenteneinrichtungen, Krankenhäusern und ähnlichen Gebäuden.
WARNUNG - In ihrer Bewegung eingeschränkte ältere und behinderte Personen sollten bei der Nutzung von Whirlwannen besondere Sorgfalt walten lassen. Kleinkindern sollte die Nutzung von Whirlwannen ohne Beaufsichtigung nicht erlaubt sein.
ANMERKUNG 1      Es ist nicht sachgerecht zu erwarten, dass Hersteller eine Definition bereitstellen, was mit einer ?in ihrer Bewegung eingeschränkten älteren oder behinderten Person" und ?Kleinkinder" gemeint ist. Ersteres liegt in der Verantwortung der entsprechenden Person oder eines Betreuers. Letzteres liegt in der elterlichen Verantwortung.

Appareils sanitaires - Spécification relative aux baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau

La présente norme spécifie les exigences pour les baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau, dont la tension nominale d'alimentation est inférieure a 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et a 480 V pour les autres appareils. Elles sont destinées a etre installées a l'intérieur des bâtiments pour des usages domestiques et pour l'hygiene personnelle conformément aux instructions du fabricant. Ces baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau sont soumises a essai et fournies en tant qu'appareil complet et indépendant, devant etre vidé apres chaque utilisation. Elles peuvent etre transportées en plusieurs parties pour faciliter la livraison, et etre assemblées sur place.
Les aspects de sécurité des baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau (sauf en ce qui concerne l'utilisation par les jeunes enfants, les personnes âgées faibles ou a mobilité réduite et les personnes handicapées) sont couverts par l'EN 60335-2-60.
Exclusions : la présente norme ne couvre pas les exigences supplémentaires pour les baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau destinées a une utilisation exigeant des dispositions médicales spécifiques, ou a une utilisation commune lorsque les baignoires ne sont pas vidées apres chaque utilisation. Les systemes de brassage amovibles ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
Pour les besoins de la présente norme, le terme "usage domestique" inclut l'utilisation dans les hôtels, les logements d'étudiants, les hôpitaux et les bâtiments similaires.
AVERTISSEMENT - Il convient que les personnes âgées a mobilité réduite ou les personnes handicapées soient prudentes lors de l'utilisation de baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau. Il convient de ne pas autoriser les jeunes enfants a utiliser les baignoires avec systeme de brassage d'eau sans surveillance.
NOTE 1   Il n'est pas réaliste d'attendre des fabricants qu'ils donnent une définition de ce que recouvrent les notions de "personne âgée a mobilité réduite ou personne handicapée" ou "jeune enfant". La premiere
