European foreword
This document (EN IEC 60335-1:2023/A11:2023) has been prepared by CLC/TC 61 “Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2024-11-22
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) —*
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
*Justification for no dow:
This European Standard supersedes EN 60335-1:2012 and its amendments. However,
EN 60335-1:2012 and its amendments remains valid until all the Parts 2 which are used in conjunction
with it have been withdrawn. No date of withdrawal (DOW) has been given pending the updating of
all Parts 2 to align with this EN IEC 60335-1:2023/A11:2023. The applicable date of withdrawal is
given in each Part 2. It is intended the DOW for this Part 1 will be fixed once all the Parts 2 have been
updated.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN-CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document is read in conjunction with EN IEC 60335-1:2023.
The numbering system for European clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes that are
additional to those in the IEC standard are prefixed with the letter “Z”.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards
body/national committee. A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN and CENELEC websites.
