Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-40. del: Posebne zahteve za električne toplotne črpalke, klimatske naprave in sušilnike zraka
Ta standard obravnava varnost električnih toplotnih črpalk, vključno s toplotnimi črpalkami za gospodinjsko vročo vodo, klimatskimi napravami in sušilniki zraka z zaprtimi gnanimi kompresorji. Najvišja nazivna napetost ne sme presegati 250 V za enofazne naprave in 600 V za vse druge naprave. Navedene naprave so lahko sestavljene iz enega sestava ali več. Če zajemajo več kot en sestav, se morajo sestavi uporabljati skupaj, zahteve pa temeljijo na uporabi združenih sestavov. Dodaten grelnik ali ukrepi za njihovo ločeno namestitev spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda, vendar to velja le za grelnike, ki so zasnovani kot del naprave, pri čemer so kontrole vgrajene v napravo.

Overview
EN 60335-2-40:2003/A11:2004 is a CENELEC standard - part of the EN 60335 household and similar electrical appliances safety series - that sets particular safety requirements for electrical heat pumps, air‑conditioners and dehumidifiers. Amendment A11 (approved 2004‑03‑01) updates EN 60335‑2‑40:2003 and supersedes earlier versions. The amendment clarifies the interaction with the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) and adds informative guidance in Annex ZAA.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and status
- Specific safety requirements for electrically powered heat pumps, air‑conditioners and dehumidifiers used in household and similar applications.
- National implementation deadlines and withdrawal dates for conflicting national standards are specified (dop 2005‑03‑01, dow 2007‑03‑01).
- Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) relevance
- Annex ZAA explains when refrigerant vessels and piping fall within PED requirements.
- Classification thresholds based on internal volume, pressure, and pressure × volume limits for vessels and numerical designation × pressure for piping are specified as criteria for PED applicability.
- Manufacturer’s declared maximum pressure and internal volume determine applicability.
- Refrigerant classification
- Distinguishes dangerous (Group 1) and non‑dangerous (Group 2) refrigerants.
- Examples listed in Annex ZAA:
- Dangerous: R‑32, R‑290 (propane), R‑717 (ammonia), R‑600 / R‑600a (butane / isobutane).
- Non‑dangerous and blends: R‑134a, R‑22, R‑404A, R‑407C, R‑410A, R‑507A.
- Reference to related technical standards
- Pressures may be taken from EN 378 (refrigeration systems) where applicable; Annex ZAA provides guidance on using these values.
Practical applications
- Ensures safe design, manufacture, testing and installation of household and similar electrical heat pumps, air‑conditioners and dehumidifiers.
- Guides conformity assessment where refrigerant charge, component size or pressure could trigger PED compliance.
- Informs risk assessment relating to refrigerant hazards, pressure-containing components and piping limits.
Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and product designers of heat pumps, AC units and dehumidifiers
- Compliance and safety engineers and testing laboratories
- Regulatory authorities and conformity assessment bodies
- Procurement and quality managers specifying appliance safety and CE marking requirements
Related standards
- EN 60335 series (household appliance safety)
- Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED)
- EN 378 (refrigerating systems) - referenced for pressure data
