It is identical with IEC 335-2-45:1996, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This British Standard supersedes BS EN 60335-2-45:1991 which will be withdrawn on 1 April 1999 in accordance with the CENELEC Internal Regulations. Certification and marks will not be awarded after this date with respect to BS EN 60335-2-45:1991. However, such certificates and marks, already awarded, may continue to apply for production until 1 April 2004. This British Standard is to be read in conjunction with BS EN 60335-1:1995 Specification for safety of household and similar electrical appliances Part 1: General requirements. The many references to Part 1 should be read as references to BS EN 60335-1, which is the English language version of EN 60335-1:1994 which was derived from the second impression, 1993, of IEC publication 335-1 (third edition 1991). 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. Product approval. Attention is drawn to the fact that products conforming to this British Standard may be approved by the British Electrotechnical Approvals Board for the purposes of participation in the CENELEC Certification Agreement and in the CB Scheme of the IECEE. (Details of the BEAB Approval Scheme are given on the inside back cover.) A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages 2 to 10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

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. Appliances which may be used when mounted on a support are within the scope of this standard. NOTE 1Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are: soldering irons; desoldering irons; soldering guns; conduit soldering tools; thermoplastic conduit-welding tools; household film-welding appliances; plastic-cutting tools; branding tools; burning-in pens; stripping pliers; glue guns; dehorning tools; paint strippers; fire lighters; heat guns. So far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. This standard does not in general take into account the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision; playing with the appliance by young children. NOTE 2Attention 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; for appliances intended to be used in tropical countries, special requirements may be necessary; in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities. NOTE 3This standard does not apply to: hand-held motor-operated electric tools (IEC 745); transportable motor-operated electric tools (IEC 1029); appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); tools for high-frequency heating; arc welding equipment. 2 Definitions This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows: 2.2.9 Replacement: normal operation operation of appliances under the following conditions appliances having a stand are operated on the stand, unless otherwise specified other appliances are operated in accordance with the instructions for use, unless otherwise specified soldering guns and plastic-cutting tools incorporating a biased-off switch are operated in cycles in accordance with the instructions for use but they are switched on for at least 12 s with rest periods not exceeding 48 s. For soldering guns, the on-period is such that the temperature at the tip reaches at least 300 °C at the end of the first on-period household film-welding appliances are operated in cycles in accordance with the instructions for use but they are switched on at least for the time necessary to weld together two sheets of plastic film with rest periods not exceeding 2 min. The plastic film is high pressure (low density) polyethylene, each sheet having a thickness of 50 µm heat guns are operated with the hot air flow horizontal fire lighters are operated to ignite charcoal placed in a tray having a diameter of 600 mm and a side 50 mm high. The pile of charcoal is 500 mm in diameter and 100 mm high at its centre contact fire lighters are positioned with the heating element horizontal and inserted in the centre of the charcoal hot-air fire lighters are positioned with the hot air flow horizontal or directed downwards to the maximum angle allowed by the construction, but not more than 45°, whichever is more unfavourable 2.101 soldering iron appliance having a soldering tip which is heated by a heating element 2.102 desoldering iron appliance for melting and removing solder 2.103 soldering gun appliance incorporating a transformer, the soldering tip being part of the secondary circuit Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 09 08:42:40 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 60335-2-45:1996 4 © BSI 10-1998 2.104 conduit-soldering tool appliance used for joining metal piping by means of solder 2.105 household film-welding appliance appliance for household use only, used for welding or cutting thin thermoplastic sheets by means of electrically heated parts between which the material is clamped 2.106 branding tool appliance for marking wood, leather and other materials by means of a heated metal stamp 2.107 burning-in pen appliance for scribing on wood, leather and other materials by means of a heated tip 2.108 dehorning tool appliance for burning out horn buds 2.109 heat gun appliance that produces a jet of hot air NOTEHeat guns may be used for fusing materials or for softening paint or plastics. 2.110 paint stripper electrically heated appliance for softeni
