Overview
EN 60335-2-55:2003/A1:2008 is a CENELEC-adopted amendment to the European standard (aligned with IEC 60335-2-55:2002/A1:2008) that sets particular safety requirements for electrical appliances used with aquariums and garden ponds. Approved 2008-05-01, the amendment updates the 2003 Part 2-55 standard and clarifies how Part 2 interacts with Part 1 of the IEC 60335 series. It addresses normal and abnormal conditions, and the influence of electromagnetic phenomena on safe operation.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and application
- Defines safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances designed for aquariums and garden ponds.
- Confirms that where Part 2 does not add requirements, Part 1 of IEC 60335 applies.
- Safety for vulnerable users
- Explicitly covers persons whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities - or lack of experience - prevent safe use without supervision, and children playing with the appliance.
- Mechanical strength
- Amendment clarifies mechanical test parameters (notably a change from 0.2 Nm to 0.2 J) in the mechanical strength provision.
- Thermal/hot-surface considerations
- Adds reference to ISO 13732-1 (assessment of human responses to contact with hot surfaces) in the bibliography, reinforcing surface-temperature guidance.
- Electromagnetic effects
- Adds text to account for electromagnetic phenomena that can affect safe operation, emphasizing the need to consider EMC-related safety interactions.
- Standards status and implementation
- CENELEC members must adopt the amendment as a national standard without alteration; transitional and implementation dates are provided in the foreword.
Applications and users
This standard is primarily used by:
- Manufacturers of aquarium and pond equipment (pumps, heaters, filters, lighting, controllers) for product design and compliance.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing type and safety testing against EN/IEC 60335 requirements.
- Regulatory authorities and market surveillance teams verifying product safety.
- Purchasing/specification teams in retail and commercial supply chains ensuring products meet European safety requirements.
Related standards
- IEC 60335-1 (Part 1 - general requirements) - applies where Part 2 has no additional rules.
- ISO 13732-1 - referenced for hot-surface human contact assessment.
- Other IEC/CENELEC EMC and product-family standards as relevant.
