ELECTRIC APPLIANCES CONNECTED TO THE WATER MAINS –
AVOIDANCE OF BACKSIPHONAGE AND FAILURE OF HOSE-SETS
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61770 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety
of household and similar electrical appliances.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998 including its
Amendment 1 (2004) and Amendment 2 (2006). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the first edition are as follows (minor
changes are not listed):
– normative references are updated;
– some notes have been converted to normative text (3.10, 5.2, 6.3, 7.2 and Annex A);
– the type of petroleum spirit has been specified (9.3).

FDIS Report on voting
61/3647/FDIS 61/3687/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
NOTE 1 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the
associated noun are also in bold.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 2 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months nor later than 36 months from the date of its publication.

ELECTRIC APPLIANCES CONNECTED TO THE WATER MAINS –
AVOIDANCE OF BACKSIPHONAGE AND FAILURE OF HOSE-SETS
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for appliances for household and similar
purposes to prevent the backsiphonage of non-potable water into the water mains. It also
specifies requirements for hose-sets used for connecting such appliances to the water mains
that supply water at a pressure not exceeding 1 MPa.
NOTE 1 Examples of similar purposes are the installation of appliances in canteens, restaurants, launderettes
and communal flats.
NOTE 2 This standard does not apply to
– appliances used for dry cleaning;
– appliances for medical purposes;
– appliances intended for industrial purposes;
– water heaters that are an integral part of the water supply system;
– water coolers that are an integral part of the water supply system.
NOTE 3 The connection of the appliance to the water mains may be temporary or permanent.
NOTE 4 When reference is made to the water mains, water supplied from a cistern or similar system is also
included.
NOTE 5 Many countries have requirements concerning the prevention of contamination of potable water as a
result of contact with unsuitable materials upstream of a backflow prevention device.

NOTE For a given point in a hydraulic system, "upstream" indicates the side from which the water flows and
"downstream" indicates the side to which the water flows.
4.2 Backflow prevention devices shall be incorporated in, or fixed to, the appliance or they
shall be incorporated in the inlet side of a hose set.
NOTE They may also be incorporated in the water inlet valves.
They shall be constructed so that
– their functional characteristics cannot be changed, even intentionally,
– they can only be removed with the aid of a tool,
