FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of IEC 60335 has been prepared by subcommittee 61C: Safety of refrigeration
appliances for household and commercial use, of IEC Technical Committee 61: Safety of
household and similar electrical appliances.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances,
ice-cream appliances and ice-makers

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of the following appliances, their rated voltage
being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances, 480 V for other appliances and 24 V
DC for appliances when battery operated:
– refrigerating appliances for household and similar use;
– ice-makers incorporating a motor-compressor and ice-makers intended to be
incorporated in frozen food storage compartments;
– refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for use in camping, touring caravans and boats
for leisure purposes.
These appliances may be operated from the mains, from a separate battery or operated either
from the mains or from a separate battery.
This standard also deals with the safety of ice-cream appliances intended for household use,
their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for
other appliances.
It also deals with compression-type appliances for household and similar use, which use
flammable refrigerants.
This standard does not cover features of the construction and operation of those
refrigerating appliances which are dealt with in other IEC standards.
Refrigerating appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may
be a source of danger to the public, such as
• refrigerating appliances used in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments,
• refrigerating appliances used in farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments,
• refrigerating appliances used in bed and breakfast type environments, and
• refrigerating appliances used in catering and similar non-retail applications
are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general,
it does not take into account
IEC 60335-2-24:2020 © IEC 2020 – 9 –
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
• lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be
necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by national health authorities, the national authorities
responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended to be used in the open air;
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– 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);
– appliances incorporating a battery intended as a power supply for the refrigerating function;
– appliances assembled on site by the installer;
– appliances with remote motor-compressors;
– motor-compressors (IEC 60335-2-34);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending appliances (IEC 60335-2-75);
– commercial refrigerating appliances and ice-makers with an incorporated or remote
refrigerant unit or motor-compressor (IEC 60335-2-89);
– professional ice-cream makers (IEC 60335-2-118).

heating system
heating element with associated components such as timers, switches, thermostats and
other controls
3.6.102
condenser
heat exchanger in which, after compression, vaporized refrigerant is liquefied by losing heat
to an external cooling medium
3.6.103
evaporator
heat exchanger in which, after pressure reduction, the liquid refrigerant is vaporized by
absorbing heat from the medium to be refrigerated
3.6.104
free space
space with a volume exceeding 60 l where a child can be entrapped and which is accessible
after opening any door, lid or drawer and removing any detachable internal part, including
shelves, containers or removable drawers which are themselves only accessible after opening
any door or lid
In calculating the volume, a space with any single dimension not exceeding 150 mm or any
two orthogonal dimensions, each of which do not exceed 200 mm, is ignored.
Note 1 to entry: Evaluation of the ignored volume can be checked by applying a 150 mm ± 0,5 mm diameter
sphere or a square with 200 ± 0,5 mm side without appreciable force. The volume can be ignored if the sphere or
square cannot fit inside.
3.6.105
transcritical refrigeration system

the vapour and liquid states of the refrigerant can coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium
3.6.106
gas cooler
heat exchanger in which, after compression, the refrigerant is cooled down, by transferring
heat to an external cooling medium, without changing state
Note 1 to entry: A gas cooler is normally used in transcritical refrigeration systems.

3.8 Definitions relating to miscellaneous matters
3.8.101
design pressure
DP
gauge pressure that has been assigned to the high-pressure side of a transcritical
refrigeration system
3.8.102
flammable refrigerant
refrigerant with a flammability classification of A2L, A2 or A3 in accordance with ISO 817
Note 1 to entry: For refrigerant blends which have more than one flammability classification, the most
unfavourable classification is taken for the purposes of this definition.
4 General requirement
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
Addition:
The use of flammable refrigerants involves additional hazards which are not associated with
appliances using non-flammable refrigerants.
This standard addresses the hazards due to ignition of leaked flammable refrigerant by
potential ignition sources associated with the appliance.
The hazard due to ignition of leaked flammable refrigerant by an external potential ignition
source associated with the environment in which the appliance is installed is compensated by
the low probability of ignition.
5 General conditions for the tests
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
5.2 Addition:
At least one additional specially prepared sample is required for the tests of 22.107.
Unless the motor-compressor conforms to IEC 60335-2-34, at least one additional specially
prepared sample is required for the test of 19.1.
At least one additional sample of the fan motor, thermal motor protector combination may be
required for the test of 19.1.
The test of 22.7 may be performed on separate samples.
Due to the potentially hazardous nature of the tests of 22.107, 22.108 and 22.109, special
precautions may need to be taken when performing the tests.
5.3 Addition:
Before starting the tests,
– ice-cream appliances are operated empty at rated voltage for 1 h, or for the maximum
setting of an incorporated timer, whichever is shorter;

– 14 – IEC 60335-2-24:2020 © IEC 2020
– other compression-type appliances shall be operated at rated voltage for at least 24 h,
then switched off and left to stand for at least 12 h.
The test of 11.102 is carried out immediately after the tests of Clause 13.
The test of 15.105 is carried out immediately after the test of 11.102.
The tests of 15.101.1, 15.101.2, 15.103 and 15.104 are carried out immediately after the test
of 15.2.
5.4 Replacement:
Tests are carried out using each source of energy (electricity, gas or other fuel) in turn. Gas
appliances are supplied at the appropriate rated pressure.
Tests are additionally carried out with all combinations of energy sources supplied
simultaneously unless this is prevented by interlocking devices.
5.7 Addition:
For ice-cream appliances, tests specified in Clauses 10, 11 and 13 are carried out at an
ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C.
For other appliances, tests specified in Clauses 10, 11, 13 and Subclause 19.103 are carried
out at an ambient temperature of
• 32 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of extended temperate (SN) and temperate (N) classes;
• 38 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of subtropical (ST) class;
• 43 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of tropical (T) class.
Before starting these tests, the appliance with the doors or lids open is brought to within 2 K
of the ambient temperature specified.
Appliances classified for several climatic classes are tested at the ambient temperature
relevant to the highest climatic class.
Other tests are carried out at an ambient temperature of 20 °C ± 5 °C.
Steady conditions are considered to be established when three successive readings of the
temperature, taken at approximately 60 min intervals, at the same point of any operating cycle,
do not differ by more than 1 K.
5.8.1 Addition:
Appliances which can be battery operated are tested at the more unfavourable polarity when
the supply terminals or terminations for the connection of the battery have no indication for
polarity.
5.9 Addition:
Appliances incorporating an ice-maker are tested with the ice-maker operating to give the
most unfavourable results.
