Overview
The IEC 60335-2-102:2004/AMD1:2008 is an important amendment to the international safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically focusing on gas, oil, and solid-fuel burning appliances that include electrical connections. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment refines the safety requirements originally detailed in IEC 60335-2-102:2004. It targets the prevention of hazards related to electrical components in combustion appliances, ensuring safe design, construction, and operation.
As part of the IEC 60335 series, this amendment addresses the unique safety risks posed by appliances that combine electrical functions with fuel combustion systems, including spark-ignition circuits and fuel control mechanisms. It provides enhanced requirements, test methods, and compliance protocols to mitigate electrical risks, abnormal operating conditions, and insulation aging due to ignition sparks.
Key Topics
Safety of Combustion Appliances with Electrical Connections
Focuses on electrical safety related to gas, oil, and solid-fuel appliances, including protection against electrical shock and fire hazards.Limits on Accessible Spark-Ignition Circuits
Imposes limits on spark-ignition circuit accessibility based on pulse duration, voltage, and charge to prevent electric shock accidents, except for piezoelectric igniters.Protection Against Access to Live Parts
Sets specific thresholds for accessible spark-ignition circuits, ensuring no live parts exceed voltage and current limits that could pose risk to users.Abnormal Operation Testing
Includes additional tests such as supply neutral conductor connection to protective earth and reversed polarity to verify safe appliance operation under fault conditions.Insulation Aging and Durability
Introduces requirements for insulation materials to resist aging caused by partial discharge from ignition sparks, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.Scope of Use and User Considerations
Emphasizes safety for vulnerable user groups, including children and persons with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities or experience.
Applications
This amendment applies to manufacturers, testing laboratories, and certification bodies involved with:
Household Heating Appliances
Gas, oil, or solid-fuel burning appliances such as boilers, fireplaces, and heaters with integrated electrical components for ignition and control.Safety Compliance and Product Certification
Ensuring that appliances meet international safety benchmarks before market release, driven by requirements for electrical insulation, spark-ignition safety, and fault conditions.Product Design and Development
Guiding engineers in the electrical system design of combustion appliances to comply with stringent international safety norms, avoiding hazards related to electrical access and ignition circuit operation.Maintenance and Quality Control
Supporting the implementation of consistent inspection and testing procedures focusing on electrical safety parameters during abnormal appliance use or electrical faults.

FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/3695/FDIS 61/3749/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result 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 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.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
___________
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.

The test is repeated with the supply neutral conductor connected to the protective conductor,
however any controls are not short-circuited.
This test is repeated with the polarity of the supply to the appliance reversed and with the
neutral conductor connected to the protective conductor.
The additional tests are not carried out on appliances where an all-pole disconnection is
used to disconnect all fuel valves
