Overview
SIST EN IEC 60335-2-101:2026/A11:2026 is an important European Standard for the safety of electric vaporizers intended for household and similar use. This amendment, developed by SIST, addresses particular safety requirements for vaporizers operating at a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, including devices powered by direct current (DC) sources and battery-operated units. The standard supports domestic safety by establishing comprehensive guidelines to minimize hazards related to the use of household vaporizers, considering both intended and reasonably foreseeable use.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
The standard focuses on the safety aspects of vaporizers used in households and similar environments. Devices covered include those powered by mains electricity, DC sources, and internal batteries, provided their voltage does not exceed 250 V.Safety Requirements
The standard introduces enhanced safety instructions and marking requirements. It emphasizes the need for clear information on safe usage, with particular attention to:- Use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities
- Use by children and necessary supervision
- Keeping appliances out of reach of young children and domestic animals
- Ensuring cords do not create tripping or pulling hazards
User Instructions
Clear user instructions must cover special precautions, especially supervision of children and vulnerable individuals, the need for adult guidance, and cleaning limitations. The instructions specify that cleaning and maintenance should not be performed by children.Document Structure
Modifications included in the amendment pertain to the introduction, scope, marking and instructions, and relevant annexes. These updates align with broader European directives and regulations concerning household appliance safety.
