It is identical with IEC 60335-2-85:1997 including amendment 1:2000. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee CPL/61, Safety of electrical appliances, to Subcommittee CPL/61/07, Safety of electrical appliances heated appliance group, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number 60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC 27-1 has been renumbered as IEC 60027-1. For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. 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.

Introduction 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. If the product has mechanical moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 89/392/EEC, 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 amendment 1:2000 to the International Standard IEC 60335-2-85:1997 was approved by CENELEC as an amendment to the European Standard without any modification. latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement(dop) 1998-10-01 date on which national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn(dow) 2005-01-01 latest date by which the amendment has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement(dop) 2001-01-01 date on which national standards conflicting with the amendment have to be withdrawn(dow) 2005-01-01 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Nov 13 17:46:12 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 60335-2-85:1998 © BSI 04-2001 3 Contents Page Foreword2 1Scope5 2Definitions5 3General requirement5 4General conditions for the tests5 5Void6 6Classification6 7Marking and instructions6 8Protection against access to live parts6 9Starting of motor-operated appliances6 10Power input and current6 11Heating6 12Void7 13Leakage current and electric strength at operating temperature7 14Void7 15Moisture resistance7 16Leakage current and electric strength7 17Overload protection of transformers and associated circuits7 18Endurance7 19Abnormal operation7 20Stability and mechanical hazards7 21Mechanical strength7 22Construction8 23Internal wiring8 24Components8 25Supply connection and external flexible cords8 26Terminals for external conductors9 27Provision for earthing9 28Screws and connections9 29Creepage distances, clearances and distances through insulation9 30Resistance to heat, fire and tracking9 31Resistance to rusting9 32Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards9 Annexes10 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Nov 13 17:46:12 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 4 blank Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Nov 13 17:46:12 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 60335-2-85:1998 © BSI 04-2001 5 1 Scope This clause of part 1 is replaced by: This standard deals with the safety of electric fabric steamers intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. 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, are within the scope of this standard. NOTE 1Examples of such appliances are those for use in laundries and dry cleaners. 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: 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); electric irons (IEC 60335-2-3); electric ironers (IEC 60335-2-44); appliances connected to the water mains. 2 Definitions This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows: 2.2.6 Addition: NOTE For electrode-type appliances, if no current is assigned to the appliance, the rated current is calculated from the rated voltage and the mean value of the power input during the first 2 min of operation, the appliance being supplied at rated voltage and operating under normal operation. 2.2.9 Replacement: normal operation operation of the appliance in the normal position of use but away from any surface, with the container filled with water and with any lid closed for electrode-type appliances, the water has a resistivity of approximately 500?cm at 20?C ± 5?C NOTEThe appropriate resistivity may be obtained by adding sodium chloride to the water. 2.101 fabric steamer appliance for removing creases from garments and fabrics by directing steam at their surface 2.102 electrode-type appliance appliance in which a conductive liquid is heated by a current flowing through it 3 General requirement This clause of part 1 is applicable. 4 General conditions for the tests This clause of part 1 is applicable.
