Overview
EN 60335-2-54:2008/A12:2021 is a European amendment (A12) to the Part 2-54 standard for household and similar electrical appliances. Prepared by CLC/TC 61 and approved by CENELEC on 2021-09-20, this amendment updates the safety requirements that apply to surface-cleaning appliances for household use employing liquids or steam. It supplements and modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 60335-1 (Part 1) and the existing Part 2-54 text.
Key administrative points:
- Prepared by: CLC/TC 61 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances)
- CENELEC approval: 2021-09-20
- Latest date of national implementation (DOP): 2022-09-20
- Date for withdrawal of conflicting national standards (DOW): 2024-09-20
- Languages: official English, French, German versions; national translations notified by members
Key Topics
This amendment contains focused changes and clarifications rather than a full rewrite. Important updates include:
- Introduction modification: A12 supplements or modifies clauses of EN 60335-1 and the existing EN 60335-2-54 Part 2 documents.
- Heating (Clause 11): Subclause 11.8 (Table Z101, Note b) is amended with an added sentence clarifying that the note is not applicable to wallpaper strippers.
- Clause 22.102: The EN modification introduced in A11 has been deleted as part of this amendment.
- Annex updates: Annex ZC (normative) is extended to include a reference to ISO 6344-2 (grain size analysis for coated abrasives), and Annex ZZA is replaced to clarify the relationship with Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive).
Applications
This amendment is relevant for manufacturers, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, and compliance teams involved with:
- Design and safety assessment of steam cleaners, wet vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers, and other surface-cleaning appliances that use liquids or steam.
- Demonstrating presumption of conformity with the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
- Updating test plans and technical documentation to reflect changes to heating requirements and normative references.
Practical benefits:
- Clearer application of heating rules (helpful for product design and component selection).
- Harmonised route to market across CENELEC member countries when national adoption is completed.
- Streamlined reference framework for test labs due to updated normative references.
Related Standards
- EN 60335-1 (Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General requirements) - A12 explicitly supplements/modifies clauses in Part 1.
- EN 60335-2-54:2008 + earlier amendments (A11, A1, etc.) - A12 is an amendment to the existing Part 2-54 text.
- ISO 6344-2 - now referenced in Annex ZC for coated abrasives grain size analysis.
For implementers, use this amendment together with Part 1 (EN 60335-1) and consult Annex ZZA for the mapping to EU safety objectives and conformity implications under the Low Voltage Directive.
