Overview

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024/oprAA:2024 is a European draft amendment to the standard for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically addressing the safety of floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines. Developed by CLC/TC 61, this standard covers equipment with rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, including DC-supplied and battery-operated appliances. The amendment is designed to ensure that these cleaning appliances are safe for home and similar environments, aligning with key European directives such as the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: Focuses on electrical safety requirements for machinery used in floor cleaning and wet scrubbing within household and similar contexts.
• Hazard Consideration: Addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by these machines, considering the needs and safety of all users, including provisions for people with disabilities.
• Markings and Instructions: Specifies that instructions must include the intended use, maintenance, safe operation, operator training if necessary, appliance stability conditions, and emergency procedures.
• Repair and Maintenance: Repairs should be carried out by competent persons only, ensuring effective risk control.
• Construction Requirements: Prohibits remote operation and delayed start timers to minimize misuse risks. Appliances must not operate continuously in hazardous conditions.
• Testing and Rust Resistance: Clarifies exemptions for resistance to rusting from certain clauses, focusing on the relevant aspects for cleaning appliances.
• Harmonization with Directives: Provides detailed correlations to the essential requirements of EU Directives, ensuring market compliance and user safety.
• Revision and Supersession: Supplements and modifies previous editions, superseding parts of earlier standards and incorporating recent general requirements (EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023).

Applications

This standard is vital for manufacturers, importers, certification bodies, and other stakeholders involved with:

• Residential Cleaning: Ensures household floor cleaning machines and wet scrubbers are built to strict safety requirements, protecting users from electrical and operational hazards.
• Similar Environments: Applicable to environments similar to households, such as small offices, hospitality areas, and care facilities, where the use of such machines by non-professionals is expected.
• Product Compliance and Market Access: Enables manufacturers to demonstrate conformity with EU regulations for electrical appliances, facilitating smoother access to European markets.
• End-User Safety: Provides guidance for user instructions and maintenance, ensuring safe, effective, and responsible use by consumers and non-professional operators.

Related Standards

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023 - Household and similar electrical appliances – General safety requirements.
• IEC 60335-2-2 / EN IEC 60335-2-2 - Specific requirements for vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances.
• IEC 60335-2-67 / EN IEC 60335-2-67 - Safety for commercial wet cleaning machines.
• IEC 60335-2-72 / EN IEC 60335-2-72 - Safety for floor treatment machines for commercial use.
• Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) - Harmonization of laws regarding electrical equipment.
• Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive) - Safety and compliance for radio-equipped appliances.

By adhering to oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-10:2024/oprAA:2024, stakeholders ensure that floor treatment and wet scrubbing machines meet the highest standards of electrical safety, user guidance, and market requirements in the EU. This not only protects users but also strengthens product reputation and compliance in the competitive cleaning appliance market.
