kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 is a SIST publication of a draft amendment from the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) to prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024. It covers the safety of electric floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines for household and similar use, with rated voltage not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied and battery-operated appliances. Manufacturers, test laboratories and conformity teams use it together with Part 1 to check design, instructions and product safety.

What does kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 specify?

kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 is a draft amendment, so it changes the base Part 2 standard rather than replacing it on its own. It is read together with prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024 and updates the Introduction, Clauses 1, 2, 7, 22 and 31, plus the annexes and bibliography.

The scope is limited to electric floor treatment and wet scrubbing machines intended for household and similar purposes. The amendment also keeps the focus on the hazards that are reasonably foreseeable in normal use and notes that people with disabilities may have needs beyond the level addressed by the standard.

Annex	What it covers
ZA	Normative references to international publications and their corresponding European publications
ZE	Specific additional requirements for appliances and machines intended for commercial use - not applicable
ZZA	Relationship with Directive 2014/35/EU
ZZB	Relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC - not applicable
ZZC	Relationship with Directive 2014/53/EU

What are the key requirements of kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026?

The amendment tightens the safety-related information, construction limits and conformity links for these machines. In practice, it tells the manufacturer what the instructions must say, which functions are not allowed, and how the document connects to EU safety objectives.

• Clause 1 updates the scope wording to "reasonably foreseeable hazards" and adds a note on the needs of people with disabilities. For users, this means the design review should cover normal use and foreseeable misuse, while accessibility may need separate attention.
• Clause 7.12 expands the instructions. They must cover intended use, user maintenance and operation, operator training if needed, safe adjustment and maintenance, stability conditions during use, dismantling, testing and foreseeable breakdowns, response to accidents or failures, and the maximum weight including accessories and packaging. This matters because safe use depends on clear operating and handling information.
• Clause 7.12.1 requires repairs to be carried out by competent persons. This helps buyers and service teams define who may repair the appliance and what training or qualification is needed.
• Clause 22.40 does not allow remote operation or a delayed start timer. That avoids unattended start-up risks.
• Clauses 22.49 and 22.51 state that the appliance cannot operate continuously without giving rise to a hazard. Designers therefore need to check continuous running, not only short-duty operation.
• Clause 31 makes the Part 1 rusting resistance clause not applicable here. This changes the test set for this Part 2 document.
• Annex ZZA and Annex ZZC connect the standard to Directive 2014/35/EU and Directive 2014/53/EU. When cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, compliance with the listed normative clauses can support presumption of conformity within the scope of this standard.

What terms does kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 define?

• Floor treatment machines - Electric machines in the scope that are used for treating floors in household and similar settings.
• Wet scrubbing machines - Electric machines in the scope that clean floors by wet scrubbing.
• Direct current (DC) - A supply type included in the scope, alongside other electrically supplied versions.
• Competent persons - People considered suitable to carry out repairs safely, as required by the instructions.
• Presumption of conformity - The legal effect described in Annex ZZA and Annex ZZC when the standard is cited in the Official Journal.

Who uses kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026?

Manufacturers, product designers, safety engineers, test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies use this standard for design checks, type testing, instructions and compliance files. Quality managers, buyers and service organizations use it to check repair limits, operating instructions and the allowed functions of the appliance.

What changed in kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 from the previous edition?

This draft amendment modifies prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024. It states that with European amendment A11, EN 60335-2-10:2003+A1:2008 is superseded.

The change set adds or revises:

• the scope wording on reasonably foreseeable hazards and people with disabilities
• the normative reference to EN IEC 60335-1:2023
• the instruction requirements in Clause 7
• the ban on remote operation and delayed start timer in Clause 22
• the applicability of Clause 31
• Annex ZA, Annex ZE, Annex ZZA, Annex ZZB and Annex ZZC
• bibliography entries for IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-67 and IEC 60335-2-72

What does the kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-10:2026/kFprAA:2026 document contain?

This document is mainly a set of amendment instructions to the base standard. It revises the Introduction, several clauses and the annexes, and it adds the bibliographic references listed above.

Its most visible technical content is in the annexes, especially Table ZZA.1 and Table ZZC.1, which map clauses to the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU and the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU. Those tables are used for conformity assessment and for showing how the standard relates to EU legislation.
