Part 2-105: Particular requirements for
multifunctional shower cabinets
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 60335-2-105 edition 2.1 contains the second edition (2016-11) [documents 61/5283/
FDIS and 61/5300/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2019-09) [documents 61/5753/CDV and
61/5845A/RVC].

 IEC 2019
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This second edition constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the first edition of IEC 60335-2-105 are
as follows (minor changes are not listed):
• revised the application of a live part (8.1.4);
• aligned the temperature rise limits of surfaces likely to be in contact with the skin with
IEC Guide 117 for a contact time of one minute (Table 3).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, under the general title: Household and similar
electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for multifunction shower
cabinets.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”,
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the
associated noun are also in bold.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

Part 2-105: Particular requirements for
multifunctional shower cabinets

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric multifunctional shower cabinets
and electric separate multifunctional shower units for household and similar purposes,
their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for
other appliances.
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 hotels, fitness
centres and similar locations, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general,
it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
• lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national water
supply authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities;
– in many countries, mechanical strength, impact resistance and shattering properties of shower enclosures can
be covered by national regulations.
NOTE 102 If an appliance incorporates a part that is within the scope of IEC 60065, IEC 60598 or IEC 60950, the
part is tested in accordance with the relevant standard as far as reasonable.
NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
– instantaneous water heaters used for showering (IEC 60335-2-35);
– shower-boost pumps (IEC 60335-2-41);
– appliances intended for medical purposes;
– 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).

19.1 Addition:
Appliances having an air-heating function are also subjected to the test of 19.101.
19.2 Addition:
For appliances having a steam bath function, the test is carried out without water being
supplied.
Appliances incorporating a fan are also tested without the motor operating, air inlets and
guards not being covered.
19.101 Appliances having an air-heating function with a heater having an enclosure
substantially of non-metallic material are operated as specified in Clause 11, except that the
motor is supplied separately at its working voltage. Thermal controls that operate during
the test of Clause 11 are short-circuited.
When steady conditions are established, the voltage applied to the motor is reduced until the
running speed of the motor is just sufficient to prevent a thermal cut-out from operating,
the voltage applied to the heating elements being maintained at the value used for 11.4.
Under these conditions, the heater is again operated until steady conditions are established
or for 1 h, whichever is longer.
After this period, the airflow is further restricted to verify that a thermal cut-out operates.
NOTE The reduced voltage applied to the motor may be determined as follows. The voltage is reduced by 5 %
and the motor is operated under this condition for 5 min. This procedure is repeated until a thermal cut-out
operates. The voltage is then increased by 5 %, this being the reduced voltage to be used for the test.

Appliances having a steam bath function shall incorporate adequate safeguards against the
risk of excessive pressure.
If jets of steam or hot water are emitted through protective devices, the electrical insulation
shall not be affected or the user exposed to a hazard.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the following test.
For pressurized boilers, the maximum pressure occurring during the test of Clause 11 with the
boiler filled but without steam emission is measured. All pressure-regulating devices
that operated during the test are rendered inoperative and the pressure measured again. The
pressure shall not increase by more than 200 kPa.
Any pressure-limiting protective device is then rendered inoperative and the pressure in
the boiler is raised hydraulically to five times the pressure measured originally or twice the
pressure measured with the pressure-regulating device operating during the test of Clause 11
rendered inoperative, whichever is higher. There shall be no leakage from the boiler.
22.33 Addition:
Parts such as switches and controls accessible to the user in the shower cabinet shall only be
supplied at safety extra-low voltage not exceeding 12 V.
Vapour is not considered to be a conductive liquid.
22.101 Appliances in which water is recirculated shall be constructed so that the quantity of
water remaining in the system after use shall not exceed 0,15 l.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
22.102 Appliances having provision for discharging steam shall be constructed so that the
steam outlets shall not direct the steam towards the user.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
22.103 For appliances that are controlled by programmable electronic circuits that limit
the number of heating elements and motors from being energized at the same time,
simultaneous activation of any combination of heating elements and motors shall not render
the appliance unsafe.
Compliance is checked as follows:
– the fault/error conditions specified in Table R.1 are applied and evaluated in accordance
with the relevant requirements of Annex R; or
– the appliance is operated under the conditions of Clause 11 while being supplied at rated
voltage, the programmable electronic circuits being modified to allow simultaneous
activation of all heaters and motors under their control. Under these conditions,
compliance with 19.13 shall not be impaired.
