Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-28:2025/A11:2025 (CENELEC amendment A11) is a European safety amendment for electric sewing machines used in household and similar environments. It supplements Part 2-28 (Particular requirements for sewing machines) and is to be read together with EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023 (General requirements). The standard covers sewing machines with rated voltages up to 250 V single-phase and up to 480 V for other appliance types. Amendment A11 was approved by CENELEC on 2024-09-25 and published in 2025; national implementation deadlines are indicated in the document.
Key topics and requirements
This amendment and the underlying standard focus on safety aspects relevant to household sewing machines. Key topics include:
- Scope and application: Clarifies types of sewing machines and voltage limits covered by the standard (household and similar use).
- Relationship to Part 1: Particular requirements in Part 2-28 are applied in conjunction with the general safety requirements of EN IEC 60335-1.
- Normative references: Adds or updates references important for testing and components, notably:
- IEC 60320-2-1 (appliance couplers for sewing machines)
- IEC 60584-1 (thermocouples - EMF specifications and tolerances)
- Annex and clause modifications: Amendment A11 modifies the Introduction and certain annexes (including Annex ZA for normative references), indicating specific European adaptations and national adoption rules.
- Compliance timeline and national adoption: Specifies dates for publication/endorsement and withdrawal of conflicting national standards.
(Note: For detailed test methods, construction requirements, and verification procedures, consult the full EN IEC 60335-2-28:2025 and related Part 1 standard.)
Applications and users
This standard and amendment are essential for stakeholders involved in the design, manufacture, testing, conformity assessment and market placement of household sewing machines:
- Manufacturers and product designers - ensure product safety and compliance with European requirements.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - apply the standard and referenced IEC documents for type testing and conformity assessment.
- Regulatory authorities and market surveillance - verify compliance and enforce national implementation.
- Importers, distributors and procurement teams - check conformity to minimize liability and ensure market access in CENELEC member countries.
