Overview
EN 50570:2013/A1:2018 is a crucial European Standard developed by CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) that specifies the safety requirements for commercial electric tumble dryers. This amendment to the original EN 50570:2013 standard focuses on devices intended for commercial use, particularly in public areas such as laundrettes, where the appliances are operated by lay persons. The standard ensures that these tumble dryers meet stringent safety and operational criteria to protect users and ensure reliable performance in semi-public commercial environments.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
EN 50570:2013/A1:2018 applies specifically to commercial tumble dryers declared for use in public areas accessible to all, including vulnerable groups like children. It excludes industrial laundry machinery with a drum volume exceeding 150 liters, which are governed by separate standards such as EN ISO 10472-4.User Safety and Access Protection
The standard mandates rigorous protection against access to live electrical parts, with different testing procedures depending on whether the appliance is intended for public use. For example, devices in public areas must pass more stringent access tests to prevent accidental contact by lay users.Temperature Control and Heating Requirements
Appliance surface temperatures under normal operating conditions are strictly regulated to avoid burns or fire risks. Specific temperature rise limits are established for various surface materials like bare metal, coated metal, glass, ceramic, and plastic.Stability and Mechanical Hazards
Stability requirements are adapted for commercial tumble dryers to ensure safe operation, including additional provisions where appliances have automatic loading or unloading functions.Emergency Stop and Control Mechanisms
For machines with automatic loading or unloading, an emergency stop device compliant with EN 60204-1:2006/A1:2009 is mandatory, reinforcing safety during potential malfunction scenarios.Markings and Instructions
Manufacturers must clearly declare if the appliance is intended for public use. Instructions should include warnings if the tumble dryer is unsuitable for use in public areas. Additionally, markings must include safety symbols, such as ISO 7010-W021 for flammable refrigerants, ensuring proper hazard communication.
Applications
Laundrettes and Self-Service Laundry Facilities
This standard is particularly relevant for tumble dryers used in laundrettes, communal laundry areas, and other public or semi-public environments where users may have limited technical knowledge.Commercial Properties and Multi-User Facilities
Suitable for deployment in hotels, apartment complexes, and commercial establishments offering laundry services to the public.Manufacturers and Testing Labs
Guidance for appliance manufacturers to ensure compliance with European safety regulations and for testing laboratories performing safety assessments.
