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withdrawn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with it have been withdrawn.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.

A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the
competence of the CEN and/or CENELEC member.
This European Standard does not fall under any Directive/Regulation of the EU.
In the relevant CEN and/or CENELEC countries, these A-deviations are valid instead of the respective
provisions of the European Standard until the national situation causing the A-deviation has changed.
Clause Deviation
25.1 and 25.25 Ireland (Statutory Instrument No. 525 of 1997)
These regulations apply to all plugs for domestic use at a voltage of not less than 200 V
and in general allow only plugs complying with I.S. 401:1997, or equivalent, to be fitted
to domestic appliances.
25.1 and 25.25 United Kingdom (Statutory Instrument 1994 No 1768)
These regulations apply to all plugs for domestic use at a voltage of not less than 200 V
and in general allow only plugs to BS 1363 to be fitted to domestic appliances. It also
allows plugs to BS 4573 and EN 50075 to be fitted to shavers and toothbrushes.
Annex ZC

Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a long period,
e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.
NOTE If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the European Standard.
For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply, these provisions are normative. For
other countries they are informative.
Clause Special national condition
