Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-105. del: Posebne zahteve za večnamenske kabine za prhanje - Dopolnilo A11

Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost električnih večnamenskih kabin za prhanje in električnih ločenih večnamenskih enot za prhanje za gospodinjsko uporabo in podobne namene, pri čemer njihova nazivna napetost ni večja od 250 V za enofazne aparate in 480 V za druge aparate.
Na področje uporabe tega standarda spadajo aparati, ki niso namenjeni za običajno gospodinjsko uporabo, vendar so lahko vir nevarnosti za javnost, kot so aparati, namenjeni za laično uporabo v hotelih, centrih za telesno vadbo in na podobnih lokacijah.
Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo aparati ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov:
– oseb (tudi otrok), ki zaradi
fizičnih, senzoričnih ali umskih sposobnosti oziroma
pomanjkanja izkušenj in znanja
ne morejo varno uporabljati aparata brez nadzora ali navodil;
– otrok, ki se igrajo z aparatom.
OPOMBA 101: Opozoriti je treba, da:
– so za aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v vozilih ali na krovu ladij ali letal, morda potrebne dodatne zahteve;
– v številnih državah nacionalni zdravstveni organi, nacionalni organi za oskrbo z vodo, nacionalni organi, odgovorni za varstvo pri delu, ter drugi podobni organi določajo dodatne zahteve;
– so lahko v številnih državah lastnosti mehanske trdnosti, odpornosti na udarce in lomljivosti zaslonov za prhanje zajete v nacionalnih predpisih.
OPOMBA 102: Če aparat vključuje del, ki spada na področje uporabe standarda IEC 60065, IEC 60598 ali IEC 60950, je treba zadevni del preskusiti v skladu z ustreznim standardom, če je to primerno.
OPOMBA 103: Ta standard se ne uporablja za:
– pretočne grelnike vode za uporabo pri prhanju (IEC 60335-2-35);
– črpalke za prhanje (IEC 60335-2-41);
– aparate za medicinske namene;
– aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo na lokacijah, kjer veljajo posebne razmere, kot je prisotnost korozivne ali eksplozivne atmosfere (prah, hlapi ali plin).

Overview

SIST EN IEC 60335-2-105:2022/A11:2022 is a critical European safety standard published by CLC that specifies particular requirements for multifunctional shower cabinets used in households and similar environments. This standard applies to electric multifunctional shower cabinets and separate multifunctional shower units with rated voltages up to 250 V for single-phase appliances, and up to 480 V for other appliances. It aims to address the safety of these appliances, ensuring protection against common electrical and mechanical hazards encountered in domestic settings.

The amendment A11 updates and supersedes previous versions, harmonizing requirements in line with European Directives such as the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU). Compliance with this standard supports manufacturers and stakeholders in achieving market access across Europe by meeting stringent safety objectives.

Key Topics

• Scope and Applicability
  Focused on household and similar electrical appliances, the standard covers multifunctional shower cabinets considering prevalent hazards for typical users, excluding unsupervised use by young children or maintenance conducted by children. It underscores protection against electrical risks, mechanical impacts, and user safety during normal operation.

• Safety Requirements
  The standard mandates comprehensive safety provisions including:

  • Electrical insulation and protection against electric shock
  • Mechanical strength and stability of shower cabinets
  • Prevention of unintended water ingress into electrical parts
  • Effective protection against overheating and fire hazards

• Voltage Ratings
  Appliances within the scope have voltage ratings not exceeding 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other types, aligning with typical household and commercial supply limits.

• Harmonization with EU Directives
  The document references compliance alignment with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, ensuring adherence to essential safety requirements and enabling presumption of conformity once cited in the EU Official Journal.

• Exclusions and User Considerations
  The standard notes that it generally does not account for risks related to:

  • Children playing with or unsupervised use by young children
  • Maintenance tasks performed by children
    It recognizes that vulnerable user groups may require additional safeguards beyond this standard’s provisions.

Applications

SIST EN IEC 60335-2-105:2022/A11:2022 is essential for manufacturers, designers, and testing laboratories working with multifunctional shower cabinets. Key practical applications include:

• Design and Manufacture
  Ensuring multifunctional shower cabinets meet strict electrical and mechanical safety standards before market release.
