Overview

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/oprAA:2026 is a European standard developed by CLC (CENELEC) that specifies safety requirements for electric ondol-mattresses with a non-flexible heated part. Ondol-mattresses are used in household and similar environments for heating purposes and comfort, with their rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, including both direct current (DC) supplied and battery-operated appliances. This amendment introduces crucial updates to the parent standard, ensuring enhanced safety and usability, including revised instructions for children, persons with disabilities, and domestic animals.

Key Topics

• Scope Expansion: The standard covers reasonably foreseeable hazards related to electric ondol-mattresses encountered by all persons and domestic animals in and around the home.
• User Safety Instructions: Detailed requirements are set for the appliance's markings, instructions, and user guidance to ensure safe use by children, people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, and those with lack of experience or knowledge.
• Precautionary Guidelines:
  • Appliances should be kept out of reach of children under 8 years and domestic animals.
  • Children aged 8 years and above may use the appliance only under supervision.
  • Supervision of both children and animals is required to prevent misuse.
  • Cleaning and maintenance are restricted to adults.
• Comprehensive Annexes: The standard references and aligns with other international and European publications for material testing and safety reference.

Applications

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-111:2026/oprAA:2026 applies to electric ondol-mattresses designed for:

• Household Use: Offering safe heated bedding for bedrooms, nurseries, and assisted living environments.
• Similar Environments: Such as care homes, hotels, and other accommodation facilities where electric heated mattresses are employed for comfort and thermal management.
• Control Units: Specific requirements apply also to the integrated or supplied control units that regulate temperature and operation of the mattress, further enhancing safety.
