Overview
EN IEC 60974-1:2022/A13:2025 is a CENELEC amendment to the European standard EN IEC 60974-1 - Arc welding equipment - Part 1: Welding power sources. Approved 5 February 2025 and prepared by CLC/TC 26 “Electric welding”, this amendment (A13) updates normative annexes and adds an informative Annex ZZ that maps standard clauses to EU ecodesign requirements (Commission Regulation (EU) No 2019/1784). The amendment sets timelines for national implementation (dop: 2026-04-30) and withdrawal of conflicting national standards (dow: 2028-04-30).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: focuses on welding power sources for arc welding equipment (ICS 25.160.30).
- Amendments introduced by A13:
- Deletion of Annex ZZA (relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU).
- Replacement of Annex ZZB with a new Annex ZZ addressing ecodesign conformity mapping.
- Annex ZZ (informative) provides:
- A correspondence table linking clauses of EN IEC 60974-1 to ecodesign requirements in Regulation (EU) No 2019/1784.
- Specific references such as measurement procedures (Annex M.2), displayed value requirements (clause 16.3.3), and information/efficiency reporting rules (Annex M.3.4).
- Rounding and presentation rules for efficiency (percentages) and average power (watts).
- Compliance notes:
- When the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the EU, meeting the normative clauses listed in Annex ZZ gives a presumption of conformity with the corresponding ecodesign requirements - within the standard’s scope.
- Warnings about patent rights and the temporary nature of the presumption (valid only while the standard is cited in the Official Journal).
Applications and who uses it
- Manufacturers of welding power sources and arc welding equipment - to design, test and document products for EU market access and ecodesign compliance.
- Compliance officers and regulatory affairs teams - to demonstrate conformity with Commission Regulation (EU) No 2019/1784.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - to align test methods, measurement reporting and display requirements with the standard.
- Procurement officers, OEMs and system integrators - to specify compliant welding power sources in tenders and product selection.
- National standards bodies and regulators - for adoption and enforcement timelines.
Related standards and notes
- This amendment modifies EN IEC 60974-1:2022 and interacts with EU legislation on ecodesign. Users should consult the Official Journal listing and other applicable EU or national legislation.
- For full technical test methods and detailed normative clauses, refer to the base standard EN IEC 60974-1:2022 and the complete text of amendment A13.
