Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-11: Particular requirements for tumble dryers
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This International Standard deals with the safety of electric tumble dryers intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for singlephase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. This standard also deals with the safety of tumble dryers that use a refrigerating system, incorporating sealed motor-compressors, for drying textile material. These appliances may use flammable refrigerants. Additional requirements for these appliances are given in Annex BB. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account - persons (including children) whose • physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or • lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction; - children playing with the appliance.

La présente norme s'applique aussi à la fonction séchage des machines à laver ayant un cycle de séchage et traite également de la sécurité des sèche-linge à tambour utilisant un système de réfrigération à motocompresseur hermétique pour sécher le linge. Ces appareils peuvent utiliser des fluides frigorigènes inflammables. Les principales modifications de la présente édition par rapport à la sixième édition sont les suivantes: alignement du texte avec la CEI 60335-1, Ed 4, et ses Amendements 1 et 2; conversion de certaines notes en exigences (7.101,11.8, 20.102, 20.103 et Annexe AA).
Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-11. del: Posebne zahteve za bobenske sušilnike (IEC 60335-2-11:2008)
Ta klavzula 1. dela je nadomeščena z naslednjim: Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost električnih bobenskih sušilnikov za gospodinjstvo in podobne namene, katerih napetost je manjša od 250 V za enofazne aparate in od 480 V za ostale aparate. Ta standard obravnava tudi varnost bobenskih sušilnikov, ki uporabljajo hladilni sistem, kateri vsebuje zaprte gnane kompresorje za sušenje tekstilnih materialov. Ti aparati lahko uporabljajo vnetljiva hladilna sredstva. Dodatne zahteve za te aparate so podane v Dodatku BB. Aparati, ki niso namenjeni za običajno rabo v gospodinjstvu, vendar so kljub temu lahko vir nevarnosti za javnost, kot naprave, namenjene uporabi laikov v trgovinah, v lahki industriji in na kmetijah, spadajo v področje uporabe tega standardu. V kolikor je izvedljivo, se ta standard ukvarja s splošnimi nevarnostmi, ki jih predstavljajo aparati in na katere so naletele osebe doma ali v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne upošteva – oseb (vključno z otroki), katerim – pomanjkanje fizičnih, čutilnih ali duševnih zmožnosti ali – pomanjkanje izkušenj in znanja preprečuje varno uporabo aparata brez nadzora ali navodil; - igranje otrok z aparatom.

Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
15 Moisture resistance
p 15.2 Add before the last paragraph:
For appliances having a working surface, the test is repeated with the appliance tilted at an angle of 2° in
relation to the position of normal use in the direction which is likely to be the most unfavourable.
The lid of top loading appliances is considered as a working surface if it is flat enough to put something
on.
19 Abnormal operation
Add the following new subclause:
19.Z101 The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation.
Any fault condition or unexpected operation that may be applied in normal use is introduced.
NOTE 1 Examples of fault conditions and unexpected operations are:
– the programmer stopping in any position;
– disconnection and reconnection of one or more phases of the supply during any part of the programme;
– open-circuiting or short-circuiting of components.
NOTE 2 In general, tests are limited to the fault conditions that may be expected to give the most unfavourable results. The
simulation of component faults is limited to those that could expose the user to a hazard.
NOTE 3 If the appliance stops at any particular point in the programme, the test with that fault condition is considered to be ended.
NOTE 4 The fault condition with
– thermal controls short-circuited is covered by 19.4;

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 60335-2-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2002 including its
Amendment 1 (2003) and Amendment 2 (2006). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the sixth edition of IEC 60335-2-11 are
as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– aligns the text with IEC 60335-1, Ed 4, and its Amendments 1 and 2;
– some notes have been converted to normative text (7.101, 11.8, 20.102, 20.103 and
Annex AA).

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features which impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-11: Particular requirements for tumble dryers
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric tumble dryers intended for
household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-
phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
NOTE 101 This standard applies to the drying function of washing machines having a drying cycle.
This standard also deals with the safety of tumble dryers that use a refrigerating system,
incorporating sealed motor-compressors, for drying textile material. These appliances may
use flammable refrigerants. Additional requirements for these appliances are given in
Annex BB.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light
industry and on farms are within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 102 Examples of such appliances are tumble dryers for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general,
it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
• lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 103 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national
