EN60335-2-2-2010 is an electrical safety standard applicable to household and similar uses. The standard range includes various types of electric heating appliances such as heating pads, heated floors, heating blankets, etc.
EN60335-2-2-2010 Standard Scope:
The EN60335-2-2-2010 standard deals with the safety of electric vacuum cleaners and suction cleaners for household and similar purposes, including animal vacuum cleaners with a rated voltage of not more than 250V. This standard also applies to centrally installed vacuum cleaners and battery-powered automatic vacuum cleaners.
This standard also applies to electric cleaner heads and current-carrying hoses associated with specific vacuum cleaners. It is not intended to be used in normal households, but it may still pose a source of danger to the public. For example, utensils that are planned to be used by laymen in stores and elsewhere for normal household chores fall within the scope of this standard.
Note 101: Examples of such appliances include those used in hotels and offices for normal cleaning purposes. Schools, hospitals, and similar places.
To the extent practicable, this standard addresses common hazards of appliances encountered by all people in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account:
The following persons (including children):
Physical, sensory, or mental abilities.
Lack of experience and knowledge.
Prevent them from using the device safely without supervision or guidance, and prevent children from playing with the device.
Note 102: The following facts should be noted.
Appliances used on vehicles, ships or aircraft may require additional requirements;
In many countries, additional requirements have been imposed by national health authorities, national labour protection authorities, national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
Note 103: This standard does not apply.
Equipment dedicated to industrial use;
Appliances used in special environments, such as corrosive or ** environments (dust, vapor or gas):
Commercial wet and dry vacuum cleaners including electric brushes (IEC60335-2-69).
According to the requirements of the EN60335-2-2-2010 standard, electric heating appliances need to undergo the following test items:
1.Insulation test: test whether the insulation performance of the instrument meets the standard requirements to ensure the safety of users.
2.Wire connection test: to ensure that the wire connection is correct and reliable.
3.Ground wire connection test: test whether the grounding of the instrument meets the requirements of the standard to ensure the safety of the user.
4.Fire test: test whether the instrument will cause disasters during normal use, so as to ensure the safety of users and property.
5.Heating performance test: test whether the heating effect and temperature of the instrument meet the standard requirements.
6.Voltage resistance test: Test the tolerance of the instrument at the rated voltage and rated frequency to ensure that accidents such as electric shock will not occur.
7.Immersion test: test whether the instrument can still work normally under immersion conditions to ensure the safety of users.
8.Compression test: A test to test whether the instrument can withstand the rated pressure.
9.Seismic test: A test to test whether an instrument can withstand vibration conditions.
10.Thermal stability test: to test the performance and stability of the instrument under long-term high temperature conditions.
The EN60335-2-2-2010 standard also includes a number of other testing requirements to ensure that the safety performance of electric heating appliances meets international standards.
Electric vacuum cleaners exported to the EU need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the European Union, and carry out corresponding testing and certification. Here are some common testing and certification requirements:
1.Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing: Vacuum cleaners need to meet the EU's EMC directive to ensure that their electromagnetic emissions and electromagnetic immunity performance meet the requirements.
2.Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Testing: The power supply and wiring of the vacuum cleaner should comply with the EU LVD Directive to ensure its safety performance.
3.RoHS testing: Vacuum cleaners need to comply with the EU's RoHS directive, which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.).
4.Material testing: Chemical analysis of the materials used in the vacuum cleaner to ensure that they do not contain harmful substances.
5.Noise Testing: Test the noise level of the vacuum cleaner to ensure that it meets the noise limits of the European Union.
6.Safety certification: Vacuum cleaners need to be CE certified to prove that they comply with the relevant safety standards and regulations of the European Union.
7.Efficiency test: test the suction power, filtration effect and other performance indicators of the vacuum cleaner to ensure that it meets the standard requirements.
