Part 1: General requirements

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
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
(standards.iteh.ai)
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.
IEC 60335-1:2020
5) IEC itself does not https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/ae7be97d-4f2d-412a-96b4-
provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
e9aca7d95ad2/iec-60335-1-2020
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 60335-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety
of household and similar electrical appliances.

This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2010, Amendment 1:2013

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.

Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website –

www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments

This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.

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.

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW


If the functions of an appliance are covered by different parts 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2
is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of
(standards.iteh.ai)
one function on the other is taken into account.

Throughout this publication, when "part IEC2" is mentioned, it refers to the relevant part of
60335-1:2020
IEC 60335. https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/ae7be97d-4f2d-412a-96b4-
e9aca7d95ad2/iec-60335-1-2020
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 publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications 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.

Individual countries may wish to consider the application of this standard, as far as is
reasonable, to appliances not mentioned in a part 2, and to appliances designed on new
principles. In this case, consideration should be given to defining normal operation, specifying
the classification of the appliance according to Clause 6 and specifying whether the appliance
is operated attended or unattended. Consideration should also be given to particular categories
of likely users and to related specific risks such as access to live parts, hot surfaces or
hazardous moving parts.

An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of this standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features which impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
– 10 – IEC 60335-1:2020 © IEC 2020

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 this
standard.

NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:


– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

SAFETY –

Part 1: General requirements

1 Scope

This International Standard deals with the safety of electrical appliances for household and
similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances
and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-
operated appliances.

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.
