Overview

EN 60335-2-80:2003 (CLC adoption of IEC 60335-2-80) is the European technical standard that sets safety requirements for electric fans for household and similar purposes. It covers common fan types - ceiling, table, pedestal, duct and partition fans - and applies to separate controls supplied with fans. The standard supplements and modifies the general safety rules in IEC/EN 60335-1, converting them into specific requirements for fans and replacing older standards such as EN 60342‑1:1981 and EN 60342‑3:1982.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and limits: Rated voltages up to 250 V for single‑phase appliances and 480 V for others; also applies to appliances used in shops, light industry and farms if they pose a public hazard.
• Interaction with Part 1: EN 60335-2-80 is used together with IEC/EN 60335-1; it adds, modifies or replaces Part 1 clauses where necessary for fans.
• Climate classification: Fans are classified for temperate or tropical climates. Fans for tropical climates are marked with T and certain tests (Clauses 10, 11, 13) are carried out at 40 °C ± 2 °C; temperature rise limits for tropical fans are reduced by 15 K.
• Ingress protection: Duct fans shall be at least IPX2.
• Marking & installation instructions: Must include items such as compatible luminaire types (if intended), suitability for mounting in outside windows/walls, a recommended blade height (e.g. blades more than 2.3 m above floor for high‑level fans) and precautions to prevent back‑flow of combustion gases for duct/partition fans.
• Tests and safety areas covered: Electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation hazards; specific clauses address heating, leakage current, moisture resistance, stability, mechanical strength and endurance. Note: Clause 9 (starting of motor‑operated appliances) is not applicable for this part.
• Exclusions: Not intended for exclusive industrial appliances, use in corrosive/explosive atmospheres, or fans incorporated inside other appliances.

Practical applications - who uses this standard

• Manufacturers and designers of household and similar fans (ceiling, pedestal, table, duct, partition)
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing safety testing and certification
• Regulatory authorities, importers and retailers ensuring product compliance for European and related markets
• Technical writers and installers preparing manuals and installation instructions required by the standard

Related standards

• IEC/EN 60335-1 (Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - General requirements): to be used conjointly
• Replaces: EN 60342-1:1981 and EN 60342-3:1982

EN 60335-2-80 provides the fan‑specific safety rules needed to design, test and certify household fans while ensuring consistent protection against electrical, mechanical and thermal hazards.

Part 2-80: Particular requirements for fans

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.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee

as far as is reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification", or "replacement",
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 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.

NOTE 3 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 following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 6.2: This requirement is not applicable (USA).
– 6.101: Only fans for tropical climates are allowed (Australia).
– 7.1: The "T" marking is not required (USA).
– 7.1: Fans for installation in walls or windows are to be marked with a reference to the instructions for use
(Germany).
– 7.12.1: The instructions for fans to be installed in walls or windows are to state the maximum negative
pressure allowed in the room when the fan is operated simultaneously with an appliance supplied with energy
other than electricity (Germany).
– 7.12.1: The fan blades are only required to be 2,1 m above the floor (Australia).
– 7.12.1: Other mounting heights are specified and have to be marked on the appliance (USA).
– 19.7: The addition is not applicable (USA).
– 20.1: The additional test for portable pedestal fans is not carried out (Japan).
– 20.2: The requirements are different (USA).
– 21.102: The loads are different (USA).
– 23.3: Different requirements apply (USA).
– 24.101: The requirement is not applicable (USA).

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication 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;
