Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-103: Particular requirements for drives for gates, doors and windows (IEC 60335-2-103:2015)

IEC 60335-2-103:2015(E) deals with the safety of electric drives for horizontally and vertically moving gates, doors, garage doors and windows for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. It also covers the hazards associated with the movement of the driven part. Battery-operated drives and other d.c. supplied drives are within the scope of this standard. Dual supply drives, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated drives when operated in the battery mode. Drives not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as drives intended to be used by laymen in shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, in industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
Requirements for drives for doors that may be used in emergency routes and exits are given in Annex AA. Examples of drives within the scope of this standard are drives for:
- folding doors;
- revolving doors;
- rolling doors;
- roof windows;
- sectional overhead doors;
- swinging and sliding gates or doors. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by drives that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the drive safely without supervision or instruction or children playing with the drive. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006 and its Amendment 1 (2010). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-103 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): modification of requirements in Clause 20 by introduction of new annexes. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication.
Key words: Drives, Gates, Doors, Windows.

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-103. del: Posebne zahteve za pogonske sklope vrat in oken (IEC 60335-2-103:2015)

Standard IEC 60335-2-103:2015(E) obravnava varnost električnih pogonskih sklopov za vodoravno in navpično premikanje vrat, garažnih vrat in oken za gospodinjske in podobne namene, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne pogonske sklope in 480 V za druge pogonske sklope. Obravnava tudi tveganja, povezana s premikanjem gnanega dela. Akumulatorski pogonski sklopi in drugi pogonski sklopi z enosmernim napajanjem spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda. Pogonski sklopi z dvojnim napajanjem (prek omrežja ali akumulatorja) se štejejo za akumulatorske pogonske sklope, če delujejo v akumulatorskem načinu. Področje uporabe tega standarda zajema pogonske sklope, ki niso namenjeni za običajno gospodinjsko uporabo, vendar so lahko vir nevarnosti za javnost, kot so pogonski sklopi, namenjeni za laično uporabo v trgovinah, pisarnah, hotelih, restavracijah, bolnišnicah, industriji in na kmetijah.
Zahteve za pogonske sklope vrat, ki se lahko uporabljajo za poti in izhode v sili, so navedene v dodatku AA. Primeri pogonskih sklopov, ki spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda:
– zgibna vrata;
– vrtljiva vrata;
– navojna vrata;
– strešna okna;
– sekcijska dvižna vrata;
– krilna in drsna vrata. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo pogonski sklopi ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov oseb (tudi otrok), ki zaradi fizičnih, senzoričnih ali umskih sposobnosti oziroma pomanjkanja izkušenj in znanja ne morejo varno uporabljati pogonskega sklopa brez nadzora ali navodil, ali otrok, ki se igrajo s pogonskim sklopom. Pripravljen je bil na podlagi pete izdaje (2010) tega standarda. Tretja izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča drugo izdajo, objavljeno leta 2006, ter njeno dopolnilo 1 (2010). Ta izdaja je tehnično popravljena izdaja. Glavne spremembe te izdaje v primerjavi z drugo izdajo standarda IEC 60335-2-103 so naslednje (manjše spremembe niso navedene): spremembe zahtev v točki 20 z uvedbo novih dodatkov. Nacionalni odbori morajo upoštevati, da bodo proizvajalci opreme in organizacije za preskušanje morda potrebovali prehodno obdobje po objavi nove, spremenjene ali popravljene objave IEC, da bodo lahko izdelovali izdelke v skladu z novimi zahtevami in se opremili za izvajanje novih ali spremenjenih preskusov. Odbor priporoča, da se vsebina tega standarda sprejme v nacionalno uporabo ne prej kot 12 mesecev oziroma najpozneje 36 mesecev od datuma objave.

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-103
are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– modification of requirements in Clause 20 by introduction of new annexes.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for electric drives for
gates, doors and windows.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”,
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective,
the adjective and the associated noun are also in bold.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, under the general title: Household and similar
electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-103: Particular requirements for drives
for gates, doors and windows
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric drives for horizontally and
vertically moving gates, doors, garage doors and windows for household and similar
purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V
for other drives. It also covers the hazards associated with the movement of the driven part.
Battery-operated drives and other d.c. supplied drives are within the scope of this standard.
Dual supply drives, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-
operated drives when operated in the battery mode.
Drives not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as drives intended to be used by laymen in shops, offices, hotels,
restaurants, hospitals, in industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
Requirements for drives for doors that may be used in emergency routes and exits are given
in Annex AA.
NOTE 101 Examples of drives within the scope of this standard are drives for
– folding doors;
– revolving doors;
– rolling doors;
– roof windows;
– sectional overhead doors;
– swinging and sliding gates or doors.
Examples are shown in Figure 101.
NOTE 102 Drives may be supplied with a driven part.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by drives
that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not
take into account
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
• lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the drive safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the drive.
NOTE 103 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the
national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
NOTE 104 This standard does not apply to drives
– for vertically moving garage doors for residential use (60335-2-95);

IEC 60335-2-103:2015 © IEC 2015 – 9 –
– for shutters covering doors and windows (including locations where the door is set back from the shutter),
awnings, blinds and similar equipment (60335-2-97);
– intended exclusively to be used by trained persons in commercial and industrial premises;
– for specific purposes, such as fire doors;
– for natural smoke exhaust ventilators not used as windows (ISO 21927-2);
– intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or
explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
NOTE 105 This standard does not apply to movement of a pedestrian door where such movement is based solely
on stored energy.

operation, it shall stop with the driven part in a safe position, or the drive shall change to a
biased-off switch mode of operation.
19.11.4.8 Replacement:
The drive is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. After
approximately 60 s, the power supply voltage is reduced to a level such that the drive ceases
to respond to user inputs or parts controlled by the programmable component cease to
operate, whichever occurs first. This value of supply voltage is recorded. The drive is
supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. The voltage is then reduced
to a value of approximately 10 % less than the recorded voltage. It is held at this value for
approximately 60 s and then increased to rated voltage. The rate of decrease and increase
of the power supply voltage is to be approximately 10 V/s.
The drive shall either continue to move in the same direction of movement in its operating
cycle at which the voltage decrease occurred or a manual operation shall be required to
restart it.
