Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-60: Particular requirements for whirlpool baths and whirlpool spas

Deals with the safety of electric whirlpool baths for indoor use, for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. This standard also applies to appliances for circulating air or water in conventional baths. Appliances not intended for normal household use, such as appliances intened to be used by layman in hotels, fitness centers and similar places, are within the scope of this standard.

Overview

EN 60335-2-60:2003 (CLC adoption of IEC 60335-2-60) is the European safety standard for whirlpool baths and whirlpool spas intended for indoor household and similar use. It covers electrical safety for appliances with rated voltages up to 250 V for single‑phase installations and up to 480 V for other appliances. The standard also applies to circulating-air or circulating‑water appliances used with conventional baths and includes appliances used by laypersons in hotels, fitness centres and similar premises.

This Part 2 standard is a supplement to EN 60335-1 (Household and similar electrical appliances - General requirements) and must be applied together with Part 1. It implements the safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive and aligns with relevant aspects of the Machinery Directive where electrical hazards predominate.

Key topics and technical requirements

EN 60335-2-60 focuses on appliance safety through design, testing and documentation. Key technical topics include:

• Electrical protection: leakage current limits, electric strength at operating temperature, transient overvoltages and insulation requirements.
• Earthing and supply connections: requirements for protective earthing, terminals, external flexible cords and plugs.
• Motor and control safety: starting of motor‑operated parts, overload protection and motor endurance.
• Thermal and fire safety: heating limits, resistance to heat and fire, and materials selection.
• Moisture and corrosion resistance: moisture resistance tests and resistance to rusting for bath components.
• Mechanical safety: stability, mechanical strength, guards against moving parts and prevention of mechanical hazards.
• Construction and components: internal wiring, component qualification, clearances and creepage distances, and resistance to radiation/toxicity.
• Abnormal operation and endurance: tests for fault conditions, durability and safe behaviour under foreseeable misuse.

Applications

This standard is used to:

• Ensure product safety for whirlpool baths and spas placed on the European market.
• Define test methods and pass/fail criteria for type testing and certification.
• Guide design and engineering decisions for manufacturers to reduce electrical, thermal and mechanical risks.
• Support compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., Low Voltage Directive) and market approval.

Who should use this standard

• Appliance manufacturers and product designers (bath and spa equipment)
• Test and certification laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Safety and compliance engineers responsible for CE marking and product approvals
• Procurement and facility managers in hotels, spas and fitness centres specifying safe equipment

Related standards

• EN 60335-1 (General requirements for household and similar electrical appliances) - mandatory companion document.
• IEC 60335-2-60 (international edition) - the original technical basis adopted by CENELEC.

Introduction
p Add:
An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC. For products having mechanical
moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 98/37/EC, has shown
that the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However,
the relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard
together with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This bilingual version (2005-09) replaces the English version.
The text of this this part of IEC 60335 is based on the following documents:
