Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-40: Particular requirements for electrical heat pumps, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers
IEC 60335-2-40:2018 deals with the safety of electric heat pumps, including sanitary hot water heat pumps, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers incorporating motor-compressors and hydronic fan coils units, their maximum rated voltages being not more than 250 V for single phase appliances and 600 V for all other appliances. Partial units are within the scope of this International Standard.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. The appliances referenced above may consist of one or more factory-made assemblies. If provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies are to be used together, and the requirements are based on the use of matched assemblies. This standard does not take into account refrigerants other than group A1, A2L, A2 and A3 as defined by ISO 817 classification, A2L refrigerants are limited to those of a molar mass of more than or equal to 42 kg/kmol based on WCF – Worst Case Formulation as specified in ISO 817. This standard specifies particular requirements for the use of flammable refrigerants. Unless specifications are covered by this standard, including the annexes, requirements for refrigerating safety are covered by ISO 5149. Supplementary heaters, or a provision for their separate installation, are within the scope of this standard, but only heaters which are designed as a part of the appliance package, the controls being incorporated in the appliance. For appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary; for appliances subjected to pressure, additional requirements may be necessary; This standard does not apply to: humidifiers intended for use with heating and cooling equipment (IEC 60335-2-88); appliances designed exclusively for industrial processing or appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas). This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2013 and its Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Clause 1 – limiting A2L refrigerants to those of a molar mass of more than or equal to 42 kg/kmol;
- Clause 7 – added requirements for A2L refrigerants,
- Clause 7 – added requirement for pre-charge pipe sets, detection systems, ventilation and the resulting charge;
- Clause 7 – added requirements for UV-C systems;
- Clause 7 – added requirements for transcritical refrigerating systems;
- Subclause 19.7 – amended text to match the intention of the subclause;

- Subclause 22– added detection systems;
- Subclause 22 – added new requirements for enhanced tightness refrigerating systems;
- Subclause 22 – added new requirements for UV-C;
- Clause 23 – added new requirements for UV-C;Clause
- Clause 24 – added requirements for transcritical refrigerating systems;
- Subclause 24 – added requirements for detection systems and airflow;
- Clause 32 added new requirements for UV-C;
- Annex BB – revised to add surface temperatures;
- Annex DD – added requirements for A2L refrigerants and amended requirements for flammable refrigerants to exempt A2L refrigerants;

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-40 : Exigences particulières pour les pompes à chaleur électriques, les climatiseurs et les déshumidificateurs
L'IEC 60335-2-40:2018 traite de la sécurité des pompes à chaleur électriques, notamment les pompes à chaleur pour production d'eau chaude sanitaire, les climatiseurs et les déshumidificateurs qui comportent des motocompresseurs et des ventiloconvecteurs hydroniques, dont la tension assignée maximale n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 600 V pour tous les autres appareils. Les unités partielles relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale.
Les appareils non destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui néanmoins peuvent constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Les appareils indiqués ci-dessus peuvent consister en un ou plusieurs ensembles fabriqués en usine. Si les appareils sont fournis en plusieurs ensembles, les ensembles doivent être utilisés conjointement et les exigences correspondantes dépendent de l'utilisation des ensembles assortis.
Les exigences relatives à la sécurité des systèmes frigorifiques sont spécifiées dans les normes ISO 5149-1, ISO 5149-2 et ISO 5149-3. En outre, l'IEC 60335-2-21 spécifie les exigences relatives aux cuves destinées au stockage de l'eau chauffée dans les pompes à chaleur pour production d'eau chaude sanitaire.
La présente norme ne couvre pas les fluides frigorigènes qui n'appartiennent pas aux groupes A1, A2L, A2 et A3 de la classification ISO 817. Les fluides frigorigènes A2L se limitent à ceux dont la masse molaire est supérieure ou égale à 42 kg/kmol d'après la formule "la plus défavorable" (WCF, Worst Case Formula) spécifiée dans l'ISO 817.
La présente norme spécifie les exigences particulières pour l'utilisation des fluides frigorigènes inflammables. Sauf spécification contraire dans la présente norme et ses annexes, les exigences relatives à la sécurité des systèmes frigorifiques sont spécifiées dans la série ISO 5149.
Les dispositifs de chauffage supplémentaires (ou les dispositions concernant leur installation) sont couverts par le domaine d'application de la présente norme, mais uniquement les dispositifs de chauffage qui sont conçus en tant que partie de l'appareil, les commandes étant incorporées à l'appareil.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que:
- pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
- pour les appareils à pression, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
- dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par exemple par les organismes nationaux de la santé publique responsables de la protection des travailleurs et par les organismes nationaux responsables du stockage, du transport, de la construction des bâtiments et des installations.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas:
- aux humidificateurs destinés à être utilisés avec des appareils de chauffage et de refroidissement (IEC 60335 2-88);
- aux appareils prévus exclusivement pour des usages industriels;
- aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz).
Cette sixième édition annule et remplace la cinquième édition parue en 2013 et son Amendement 1:2016. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
– à l'Article 1, les fluides frigorigènes A2L se limitent à ceux dont la masse molaire est supérieure ou égale à 42 kg/kmol;
– à l'Article 7, des exigences ont été ajoutées pour les fluides frigorigènes A2L;
– à l'Article 7, une exigence a été ajoutée pour les ensembles de tuyaux de précharge, les systèmes de détection, la ventilation et la charge obtenue;
– à l'Art
