Overview

EN 60335-2-101:2002 (CLC adoption of IEC 60335-2-101:2002) is the European particular requirements standard for the safety of electric vaporizers for household and similar use. It applies to vaporizers with a rated voltage not more than 250 V and is intended to be used together with EN/IEC 60335-1 (General requirements). Examples in scope include plug-in or cord-connected air fresheners and insect-repellers. The standard addresses common hazards (electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire, radiation) for normal and reasonably expected abnormal use.

Key topics and requirements

This part 2 supplements or modifies clauses of EN/IEC 60335-1 and covers product-family specific matters such as:

• Scope and definitions specific to vaporizers (e.g., definition of “vaporizer”, “normal operation”)
• Marking and instructions required for safe use
• Protection against access to live parts and insulation requirements
• Leakage current, moisture resistance and electric strength at operating temperature
• Heating elements and power input/current considerations
• Abnormal operation, endurance and overload protection
• Stability, mechanical strength and construction (internal wiring, components, terminals)
• Clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation
• Resistance to heat and fire; radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
• Test and classification rules, including specific tests referenced (e.g., tests applied to new appliances)

Note: The standard excludes appliances exclusively for industrial use or those intended for special atmospheres. It also lists related product standards that are not covered here (e.g., humidifiers, fabric steamers, certain insect killers).

Practical applications

EN 60335-2-101 is used to:

• Guide design and development of safe household vaporizers that meet European safety expectations
• Support type testing and conformity assessment when combined with EN/IEC 60335-1
• Demonstrate compliance with the Low Voltage Directive and inform risk assessments relevant to the Machinery Directive where mechanical parts exist
• Prepare technical files, user manuals, and marking for market access/CE marking
• Establish test protocols for laboratories and certification bodies

Who should use this standard

• Appliance manufacturers and product designers
• Compliance and certification engineers
• Test laboratories and notified bodies
• Regulatory authorities and procurement teams
• Safety assessors and consultants working on household electrical appliances

Related standards

• EN/IEC 60335-1 - Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General requirements (mandatory companion)
• Other IEC 60335 Part 2 standards for related appliance types (see standard text for specific exclusions and cross-references)

(dow) 2005-10-01 This part 2 has to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1, Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 1: General requirements. It was established on the basis of the 2002 edition of that standard. Amendments and revisions of Part 1 have also to be taken into account and the dates when such changes become applicable will be stated in the relevant amendment or revision of Part 1. This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 60335-1, so as to convert it into the European Standard: Safety requirements for electric vaporizers. When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 1 The following numbering system is used:
- subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1; - unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a replaced clause or subclause; - additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.; - subclauses, notes and annexes that are additional to those in the IEC standard are prefixed with the letter Z. NOTE 2 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.

- 3 - EN 60335-2-101:2002 Introduction p Add: An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC. For products having mechanical moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 98/37/EC, has shown that the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However, the relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard together with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive. ____________ Endorsement notice The text of the International Standard IEC 60335-2-101:2002 was approved by CENELEC as a European Standard without any modification. ____________

60335-2-101  IEC:2002– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION–––––––––––––HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –SAFETY –Part 2-101: Particular requirements for vaporizersFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between thetwo organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the NationalCommittees in that sense.4)
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International
