Overview
IEC 60335-2-24:2002/AMD2:2007 is an important international amendment issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that addresses the safety requirements specific to household and similar electrical appliances. This amendment focuses particularly on refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances, and ice-makers. It supplements the base standard IEC 60335-2-24 by refining safety provisions to protect users, including vulnerable groups such as children and persons with disabilities, from potential hazards related to these appliances.
This standard amendment forms part of the IEC 60335 series concerning the safety of household electrical appliances. It ensures product safety while considering the latest technical advancements, operational risks, and regulatory requirements. The amendment confirms that when specific part 2 requirements do not cover some hazards, the general part 1 requirements apply.
Key Topics
Safety Requirements for Refrigerating Appliances
This amendment refines safety measures pertinent to refrigerating devices, ensuring their construction and operation meet stringent heat resistance and electrical protection standards.Ice-Cream Appliances and Ice-Makers
Specific safety instructions and warnings are emphasized for ice-cream making and ice-making appliances, particularly those connected to potable water supplies. Clear marking and user warnings such as "Caution: risk of fire" are mandated.User Protection
The amendment explicitly protects persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, including children. It addresses safe usage conditions and emphasizes the prevention of appliance misuse as toys by children.Temperature and Heating Constraints
Maximal temperature limits for motor-compressors and their components are defined to prevent overheating. Adjustments relating to motor-protector cycles and temperature measurement methods ensure appliances operate within safe thermal boundaries.Markings and Instructions
The standard establishes clear requirements for warning signs, particularly replacing older references with the symbol "Caution: risk of fire" following ISO 3864-1 principles on safety color and symbol design. Instructions must contain explicit safety warnings about flammable refrigerants and water supply connections.Climate Adaptation
An informative annex provides guidance on appliance application in warm, humid climates, adjusting testing temperatures and safety parameters accordingly.Testing and Component Standards
Includes aging tests for motors, thermal protector requirements, and references to the construction and testing of electrical components, such as lampholders adhering to IEC 60598-1.
Applications
The IEC 60335-2-24:2002/AMD2:2007 amendment is essential for manufacturers, safety engineers, and regulatory bodies involved in designing, testing, and certifying:
- Household refrigerators, freezers, and combined refrigerating appliances
- Ice-cream making machines used domestically or in similar contexts
- Ice-makers connected to water supplies for household or commercial use
- Motor-compressors and refrigeration system components ensuring compliance with thermal and electrical safety limits
This standard guides product safety assessments, factory quality control, and compliance certification, enabling safer household refrigeration solutions worldwide.

INTRODUCTION
Remplacer le cinquième alinéa par ce qui suit:
Lorsqu’une partie 2 ne comporte pas d’exigences complémentaires pour couvrir les risques
traités dans la Partie 1, la Partie 1 s’applique.
NOTE 1 Cela signifie que les comités d’études responsables pour les parties 2 ont déterminé qu’il n’était pas
nécessaire de spécifier des exigences particulières pour l’appareil en question en plus des exigences générales.
Cette norme est une norme de famille de produits traitant de la sécurité d’appareils et a
préséance sur les normes horizontales et génériques couvrant le même sujet.
NOTE 2 Les normes horizontales et génériques couvrant un risque ne sont pas applicables parce qu’elles ont été
prises en considération lorsque les exigences générales et particulières ont été étudiées pour la série de normes
CEI 60335. Par exemple, dans le cas des exigences de température de surface pour de nombreux appareils, des
normes génériques, comme l’ISO 13732-1 pour les surfaces chaudes, ne sont pas applicables en plus de la
Partie 1 ou des parties 2.
1 Domaine d’application
Remplacer les deux tirets du huitième alinéa par ce qui suit:
– des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont
– les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales; ou

INTRODUCTION
Replace the fifth paragraph by the following:
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.
