Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers

IEC 60335-2-5:2025 deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household and similar purposes that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry and on farms, 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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– commercial electric dishwashing machines (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances intended 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).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and Amendment 1: 2018. 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) modification of some notes or conversion to normative text (Clause 1, 19.101, 20.102);
c) application of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);
d) addition of surface temperature limits (Clause 11);
e) addition of testing to evaluate leakage of the rinsing agent reservoir (22.6);
f) addition of requirements to prevent simultaneous operation of multiple loads (22.105, Annex R);
g) addition of requirements for motor running capacitors (24.5, 24.8);
h) updated detergent reference to IEC 60436 and rinse agent reference to 15.2 (15.2, 22.6, Annex AA).
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and
Amendment 1: 2018. 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) modification of some notes or conversion to normative text (Clause 1, 19.101, 20.102);
c) application of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);
d) addition of surface temperature limits (Clause 11);
e) addition of testing to evaluate leakage of the rinsing agent reservoir (22.6);
f) addition of requirements to prevent simultaneous operation of multiple loads (22.105,
Annex R);
g) addition of requirements for motor running capacitors (24.5, 24.8);
h) updated detergent reference to IEC 60436 and rinse agent reference to 15.2 (15.2, 22.6,
Annex AA).
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/7496/FDIS 61/7519/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) 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: Particular requirements for dishwashers.
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.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations can 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.
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.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
– reconfirmed,
– withdrawn, or
– revised.
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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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 can 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 publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications 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.
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 which 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

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household and similar
purposes that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, their
rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other
appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated
appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light
industry and on farms, 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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities,
the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply
authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– commercial electric dishwashing machines (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances intended for industrial purposes;

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Électrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L'IEC a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l'IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l'IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L'IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du
possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l'IEC intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d'études.
3) Les Publications de l'IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l'IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l'IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l'IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l'IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l'IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L'IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l'IEC. L'IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l'IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou mandataires,
y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités nationaux de l'IEC,
pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre dommage de quelque
nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais de justice) et les dépenses
découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de l'IEC ou de toute autre Publication de l'IEC,
ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L'IEC attire l'attention sur le fait que la mise en application du présent document peut entraîner l'utilisation d'un
ou de plusieurs brevets. L'IEC ne prend pas position quant à la preuve, à la validité et à l'applicabilité de tout
droit de brevet revendiqué à cet égard. À la date de publication du présent document, l'IEC n'avait pas reçu
notification qu'un ou plusieurs brevets pouvaient être nécessaires à sa mise en application. Toutefois, il y a lieu
d'avertir les responsables de la mise en application du présent document que des informations plus récentes
sont susceptibles de figurer dans la base de données de brevets, disponible à l'adresse https://patents.iec.ch.
L'IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de brevets.
L'IEC 60335-2-5 a été établie par le comité d'études 61 de l'IEC: Sécurité des appareils
électrodomestiques et analogues. Il s'agit d'une Norme internationale.
Cette septième édition annule et remplace la sixième édition parue en 2012 et

INTRODUCTION
Il a été admis par hypothèse, en établissant la présente Norme internationale, que l'exécution
de ses dispositions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification
appropriée.
Les documents de recommandations concernant l'application des exigences de sécurité pour
les appareils peuvent être consultés dans les documents de support du CE 61, accessibles sur
le site web de l'IEC à l'adresse:
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
Cette information est donnée à l'intention des utilisateurs de la présente Norme internationale
et ne constitue nullement un remplacement du texte normatif de la présente norme.
La présente norme reconnaît le niveau de protection internationalement accepté contre les
dangers électriques, mécaniques, thermiques, liés au feu et au rayonnement des appareils,
lorsqu'ils fonctionnent comme en usage normal en tenant compte des instructions du fabricant.
Elle couvre également les situations anormales auxquelles on peut s'attendre dans la pratique
et elle tient compte de la façon dont les phénomènes électromagnétiques peuvent altérer le
fonctionnement sûr des appareils.
Cette norme tient compte autant que possible des exigences de l'IEC 60364, de façon à rester
compatible avec les règles d'installation quand l'appareil est raccordé au réseau d'alimentation.
Cependant, des règles d'installation nationales peuvent être différentes.
Si un appareil relevant du domaine d'application de la présente norme comporte également des
fonctions couvertes par une autre partie 2 de l'IEC 60335, la partie 2 correspondante est
appliquée à chaque fonction séparément, dans la limite du raisonnable. Si cela s'applique,
l'influence d'une fonction sur les autres fonctions est prise en compte.
Lorsqu'une partie 2 ne comporte pas d'exigences complémentaires pour couvrir les dangers
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 publications horizontales, les publications fondamentales de sécurité et les publications groupées de
sécurité couvrant un danger ne s'appliquent pas, parce qu'elles ont été prises en considération lorsque les exigences
générales et particulières ont été étudiées pour la série de normes IEC 60335.
Un appareil conforme au texte de la présente norme ne sera pas nécessairement jugé conforme
aux principes de sécurité de la norme si, lorsqu'il est examiné et soumis aux essais, il apparaît
qu'il présente d'autres caractéristiques qui compromettent le niveau de sécurité visé par ces
exigences.
Un appareil utilisant des matériaux ou présentant des modes de construction différents de ceux
décrits dans les exigences de la présente norme peut être examiné et soumis aux essais en
fonction de l'objectif poursuivi par ces exigences et, s'il est jugé pratiquement équivalent, il peut
être estimé conforme aux principes de sécurité de la présente norme.
NOTE 3 Les normes traitant des aspects non relatifs à la sécurité des appareils électrodomestiques sont:
– les normes IEC publiées par le comité d'études 59 concernant les méthodes de mesure d'aptitude à la fonction;
– les normes CISPR 11 et CISPR 14-1, ainsi que les normes applicables de la série IEC 61000-3 concernant les
émissions électromagnétiques;
– la norme CISPR 14-2 concernant l'immunité électromagnétique;
– les normes IEC publiées par le comité d'études 111 concernant l'environnement.

1 Domaine d'application
L'article de la Partie 1 est remplacé par le texte suivant.
La présente partie de l'IEC 60335 traite de la sécurité des lave-vaisselle électriques pour
usages domestiques et analogues destinés à laver et à rincer la vaisselle, les couverts et
d'autres ustensiles, dont la tension assignée est inférieure ou égale à 250 V pour les appareils
monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils, y compris les appareils alimentés en courant
continu et les appareils alimentés par batteries.
Les appareils non destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui peuvent néanmoins
constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés
par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, chez des artisans et dans des fermes, sont
compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers courants que présentent les
appareils et auxquels sont exposés tous les individus situés à l'intérieur et autour de
l'habitation. Cependant, elle ne tient en général pas compte
– Des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont
• les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales; ou
• le manque d'expérience et de connaissance
les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction;
– des enfants qui jouent avec l'appareil.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que
– Pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou
d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires.
– Dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les organismes
nationaux de la santé, par les organismes nationaux responsables de la protection des
travailleurs, par les organismes nationaux responsables de l'alimentation en eau et par des
organismes similaires.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas
– Aux lave-vaisselle électriques à usage collectif (IEC 60335-2-58).
– Aux appareils prévus pour des usages industriels.
– Aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux qui présentent des conditions
particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière,
vapeur ou gaz).

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and
Amendment 1: 2018. 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) modification of some notes or conversion to normative text (Clause 1, 19.101, 20.102);
c) application of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);
d) addition of surface temperature limits (Clause 11);
e) addition of testing to evaluate leakage of the rinsing agent reservoir (22.6);
f) addition of requirements to prevent simultaneous operation of multiple loads (22.105,
Annex R);
g) addition of requirements for motor running capacitors (24.5, 24.8);
h) updated detergent reference to IEC 60436 and rinse agent reference to 15.2 (15.2, 22.6,
Annex AA).
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/7496/FDIS 61/7519/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) 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: Particular requirements for dishwashers.
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.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations can 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.
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.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
– reconfirmed,
– withdrawn, or
– revised.
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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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 can 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 publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications 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.
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 which 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.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household and similar
purposes that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, their
rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other
appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated
appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light
industry and on farms, 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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities,
the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply
authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– commercial electric dishwashing machines (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances intended 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).

1)
Plurafac ® LF 221 is the trade name of a product supplied by BASF. This information is given for the convenience
of users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by IEC of this product.
Appliances incorporating an appliance inlet are tested with or without an appropriate connector
in position, whichever is most unfavourable.
Detachable parts are removed.
Appliances intended to be filled with water by the user are completely filled with the solution. A
further quantity of this solution equal to 15 % of the capacity of the appliance or 0,25 l,
whichever is greater, is poured in steadily over a period of 1 min.
Other appliances are operated until the maximum water level is reached, and 5 g of the
detergent specified in IEC 60436:2025, Annex E is added for each litre of water in the appliance.
The inlet valve is held open and the filling continued for 15 min after first evidence of overflow
or until the inflow is automatically stopped by other means.
For appliances that are loaded from the front, the door is then opened if this can be achieved
manually and without damage to the door interlock system.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show
that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances or
creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
Appliances with a working surface are installed as in normal use, with their door in the closed
position.
A quantity of 0,5 l of the solution is poured rapidly over the top of the appliance in the most
unfavourable way so that the spillage solution also flows over the surfaces of the appliance that
incorporate controls and other places where it can penetrate the appliance enclosure, the
controls being placed in the most unfavourable position. The controls are then operated through
their working range, this operation being repeated after 5 min.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show
that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances or
creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
The test is then repeated with the door opened in the most unfavourable position. Additional
action, like drying of tested areas, can be necessary to ensure that first pouring test does not
impact the result of the second one.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show
that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances or
creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.

front surface of the appliance (excluding control knobs and handles) shall align with the front
edge of a 30 mm thick wooden work surface with a square front edge, see Figure 102.
A quantity of 0,5 l of the solution is poured rapidly on the work surface in the most unfavourable
way so that the spillage solution also flows over the surfaces of the appliance that incorporate
controls and other places where it can penetrate the appliance enclosure, the controls being
placed in the most unfavourable position. The controls are then operated through their working
range, this operation being repeated after 5 min.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show
that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances or
creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
The test is then repeated with the door partially opened in such a way that the front edge of the
top of the appliance and the top inner edge of the door are aligned as shown in Figure 103.
Additional action, like drying of tested areas, can be necessary to ensure that first pouring test
does not impact the result of the second one.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show
that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances or
creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.

Compliance is checked by the following test which is carried out immediately after that of 15.2.
The appliance is operated under the conditions specified in Clause 11 but for one complete
cycle with the programme that results in the longest period of operation. A solution consisting
of 20 g of NaCl and 1 ml of a solution of 28 % by mass of dodecyl sodium sulphate
(C12H25Na2SO4), is added for each 8 l of water in the appliance. The solution used for this
test shall be stored in a cool atmosphere and used within seven days of its preparation.
For appliances incorporating a detergent dispenser, the solution is added manually at the point
in the cycle when it would be dispensed automatically in normal use. For other appliances, the
solution is added before starting the cycle.
The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3.
The appliance is then operated for two cycles under the same conditions, except that the
solution is not added. It shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3.
The appliance is kept in a test room having a normal atmosphere for 24 h before being subjected
to the test of 15.3.
