FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by committee 61: Safety of household and similar
electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/4447/FDIS 61/4500/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 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• withdrawn,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 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.

20 Stability and mechanical hazards
20.101 Add the following to the test specification before the penultimate paragraph.
If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the test is repeated with the
fault conditions in a) to g) of 19.11.2 applied one at a time to the electronic circuit.
20.103 Add the following after the second paragraph of the test specification:

60335-2-4 Amend. 1 © IEC:2012 – 3 –
If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the test is repeated under the
following conditions applied separately:
– the fault conditions in a) to g) of 19.11.2 applied one at a time to the electronic circuit;
– the electromagnetic phenomena tests of 19.11.4.1 to 19.11.4.6 applied to the appliance.
In an appliance containing lids or doors that are controlled by one or more interlocks, one of
the interlocks may be released provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
– the lid or door does not move automatically to an open position when the interlock is
released;and
– the appliance will not restart after the cycle in which the interlock was released.
Add the following new text after the Note:
If the electronic circuit is programmable, the software shall contain measures to control the
fault/error conditions specified in Table R1 and is evaluated in accordance with the relevant
requirements of Annex R.
20.104 Replace the test specification and the Note by the following:
Compliance is checked by measurement of the maximum peripheral speed, by calculation of
the rotational kinetic energy and by the following test, which is carried out after repeating the
spillage test of 15.2.
NOTE The rotational kinetic energy is calculated in accordance with the formula in 20.103.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated empty. For appliances having a
single lid and for appliances incorporating two lids where the second lid does not open
independently of the first lid, the lid or first lid as appropriate is gradually opened and
– with an opening of 4 mm to 10 mm, it shall not be possible to touch parts rotating at a
speed exceeding 60 r/min with the test probe 12 of IEC 61032;
– with an opening greater than 10 mm, but not more than 12 mm, it shall not be possible to
touch parts rotating at a speed exceeding 60 r/min with a test rod 3 mm in diameter and
120 mm long. In addition, the test probe B of IEC 61032 is applied and shall not come
within a distance of 20 mm from the rotating parts;
– with an opening greater than 12 mm, the motor shall be disconnected from the supply and
within 7 s, the drum speed shall not exceed 60 r/min.
For appliances incorporating two lids where the second lid opens independently of the first lid,
the first lid is gradually opened and with an opening greater than 50 mm, the motor shall be
disconnected from the supply and wit
