Overview

prEN IEC 60335-2-101:2025/prAA:2025 is a CLC draft amendment addressing the safety of electric vaporizers for household and similar use. It applies to appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied and battery-operated appliances. The amendment (prAA) proposes changes to the 2025 Part 2‑101 European Standard and is submitted to CENELEC members for enquiry - it is a draft and subject to change.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and hazards: Clarifies that the standard deals with reasonably foreseeable hazards of intended use encountered by all persons and domestic animals in and around the home.
• Marking and instructions (Clause 7): Revised instruction requirements emphasize user safety guidance for:
  • People with disabilities - acknowledgement that additional precautions or supervision may be needed.
  • Children - allowed use by children aged 8+ under continuous supervision; clear warnings to keep appliances out of reach of children under 8.
  • Domestic animals - supervise to prevent play and keep appliance out of reach.
  • Safe cord routing (do not let cord hang over edge) and prohibition of cleaning/user maintenance by children.
• Introduction and harmonization: Edits to the introduction and references to Part 1 (EN IEC 60335-1:2023) and Part 2 (EN IEC 60335-2-101:2025).
• Annexes and conformity: Modifications to applicability of Part 1 and Part 2 annexes; some informational annexes (ZZA, ZZB, ZZC) marked not applicable.
• Bibliography updates: Additional related IEC documents added (e.g., IEC 60335‑2‑15, ‑2‑59, ‑2‑85, ‑2‑98 and IEC 60584‑1).

Applications and who uses it

This standard is used by:

• Manufacturers and designers of household vaporizers to design safe products and prepare compliant user instructions and labels.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies for evaluating electrical and user-safety aspects against harmonized European requirements.
• Regulatory authorities and procurement teams to reference safety expectations for market access.
• Technical writers and product compliance specialists tasked with producing manuals and warnings that satisfy Clause 7 marking and instruction requirements.

Practical applications include product design decisions (guarding, controls, cord length/placement), user manual content for child and disability safety, and conformity assessment for CE marking in Europe.
