Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice makers

IEC 60335-2-24:2025 deals with the safety of the following appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances, 480 V for other appliances and 24 V DC for appliances when battery-operated:
– refrigerating appliances for household and similar use;
– ice-makers incorporating a motor-compressor and ice-makers intended to be incorporated in frozen food storage compartments intended for household use;
– refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for applications similar to household use such as for camping, in leisure accommodation vehicles, on boats for leisure purposes and on board ships;
– mobile refrigerating appliances.
These appliances can be operated from the mains, from a separable battery or operated either from the mains or from a separable battery or from other sources of energy (gas, liquid and solid fuel).
This standard deals also with refrigerating appliances intended for the use on boats for leisure purposes and on board ships, for which the normative Annex FF is applicable.
This standard also deals with the safety of ice-cream appliances intended for household use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
It also deals with compression-type appliances for household and similar use, which use flammable refrigerants.
This standard does not cover features of the construction and operation of those refrigerating appliances which are dealt with in other IEC standards.
Refrigerating appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as
– refrigerating appliances used in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments,
– refrigerating appliances used in farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments,
– refrigerating appliances used in bed and breakfast type environments, and
– refrigerating appliances used in catering and similar non-retail applications
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 whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles, leisure accommodation vehicles, boats for leisure purposes, on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
– for appliances that are operated additional from other sources of energy (gas, liquid and solid fuel), additional requirements can be necessary.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended for outdoor use, except for mobile refrigerating appliances;
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial 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);
– appliances incorporating a battery intended as a power supply for the refrigerating function;
– appliances assembled on site by the installer;
– appliances with remote motor-compressors;
– motor-compressors (IEC 60335-2-34);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending appliances (IEC 60335-2-75);
– commercial refrigerating appliances and ice-makers with an incorporated or remote refrigerant unit or motor-compressor (IEC 60335-2-89);
– professional ice-cream makers (IEC 60335-2-118).

IEC 60335-2-34:2024(Main)

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors

IEC 60335-2-34:2024 deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that can be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 600 V for multi-phase, 600 V direct-current (DC) motor-compressors.
This standard also covers:
– multi-speed motor-compressors, that are motor-compressors, the speed of which can be set to different values;
– variable capacity motor-compressors that are motor-compressors where the capacity of the compressor is controlled at fixed speeds.
Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are:
– tumble dryers (IEC 60335-2-11);
– refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers (IEC 60335-2-24);
– electrical heat pumps, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75);
– commercial refrigerating appliances and ice-makers with an incorporated or remote refrigerant unit or compressor (IEC 60335-2-89);
– refrigerating equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use (IEC 61010-2-011);
– professional ice-cream makers (IEC 60335-2-118);
– professional systems and heat pumps (ISO 5149-2);
This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type used complies with this standard, it will not be necessary for the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the particular appliance standard to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests could be necessary on the end product.
So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by motor-compressors used in appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, it does not in general take into account:
– the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
– playing with the appliances by young children.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for motor-compressors intended to be used in appliances in vehicles or on board ships, additional requirements could be necessary;
– motor-compressors used in 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), additional require¬ments could be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– motor-compressors designed exclusively for industrial purposes.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) in the scope added the rating up to 600 V (Clause 1);
c) the definition of design pressure has been changed in maximum allowable pressure (3.1.101, 7.102, 22.7);
d) introduction of maximum load conditions (MLC) as declared by the manufacturer (3.1.103, 5.6, 7.12, Annex AA);
e) transcritical back pressure categories (R-744) have been introduced (3.1.102, Table AA.1, Table AA.2);
f) new definition of coilette has been introduced (3.8.103);
g) new definition of bypass valve has been introduced (3.8.104);
h) the evaluation of motor-compressors using a motor-compressor control system has been clarified (6.101, 6.103, 6.
