Overview
The European Standard EN IEC 60335-2-106:2025/A11:2025 establishes updated safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically focusing on heated carpets and heating units installed under removable floor coverings. This amendment A11, approved by CENELEC, supplements the 2025 edition of EN IEC 60335-2-106 and aligns with Part 1 (EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023) standards to ensure comprehensive safety compliance.
The standard applies to:
- Portable heated carpets
- Heated carpets and similar appliances
- Heating units intended for room heating installed directly beneath removable floor coverings such as carpets, cushion vinyl, or loose-laid laminate
It addresses appliances with rated voltages up to 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other installations, including direct current (DC) appliances.
Key Topics
- Safety requirements for heated carpets: Focus on prevention of overheating, electrical shock, and fire hazards during typical household use.
- Heating units under removable floorings: Specifications for safe installation and operation beneath flooring materials that can be removed or replaced.
- Voltage classification: Clear guidance on compliant operating voltages for various appliances.
- Amendment A11 modifications: Updates to introduction, normative references, and bibliographical enhancements to harmonize safety requirements across European electrotechnical standards.
- Normative references alignment: Includes additions such as IEC 60884-1 on plugs and socket outlets, ensuring cohesive safety protocols.
- Compatibility with EN IEC 60335-1: Reinforces general safety principles in conjunction with specific Part 2-106 requirements.
- Patent rights disclaimer: Highlights the possibility of patent implications within the document to inform manufacturers and testers.
Applications
This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, testing laboratories, and compliance authorities involved in the development, certification, and regulation of:
- Portable heated carpet products for residential and similar uses
- Electrical heating systems integrated beneath removable floor coverings, enhancing consumer comfort while ensuring safety
- Product safety assessments for voltage, insulation, thermal protection, and durability in household electrical appliances
- Installation guidelines for safe and reliable room heating solutions under floor materials like carpet, cushion vinyl, and loose-laid laminates
- Certification processes related to European market compliance, ensuring products meet mandatory safety standards
