Fans - Safety requirements

This European Standard is applicable to all types of fans other than fans that are
household appliances intended for domestic use.
NOTE Fans intended for household purposes are typically used on desks, ceilings,
free standing or, partitions (e.g. window and wall fans) and ducts. They are
assumed to have mainly electricity related risks. These fans are in the scope of EN
60335-2-80.
The European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and
events relevant to fans during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning
and use as defined in EN ISO 12100:2010, Annex B, when they are used as intended
and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the
manufacturer.
NOTE This standard deals
a.) with stand alone fan units, ready for operation, complete with control systems
and all other features that ensure safety in use and
b.) with fans for installation (e.g. in ventilation systems) or incorporation with
other equipment where control systems and all other features that ensure safety are
provided by others, (details should be provided by the fan manufacturer).
This European Standard applies to electrically driven fans and, apart from the
hazards related to the drives, it shall also apply to fans driven from other energy
sources.
Further safety measures may be required for the additional hazards due to the
application.
This European Standard does not deal with the hazards due to the use of fans in a
potentially explosive atmosphere (see e.g. EN 14986).
This European Standard is not applicable to fans, which are manufactured before the
date of its publication.
