INTRODUCTION
Edition 6 of IEC 60335-1:2020 defines and introduces requirements for a detachable
power supply part of an appliance. In the document, 24.2 prohibits the use of a power
supply in a flexible cord.
QUESTION:
Does Subclause 24.2 prohibit the use of a detachable power supply part?
ANSWER
No, a "detachable power supply part" is a defined term and is not captured by the term
"power supply" as used in Subclause 24.2.
NOTE A detachable power supply part is captured by the defined term when the output of the power supply
part is detachable from the class III construction part of the appliance at:
– the power supply part, or
– the class III construction part of the appliance.
However, the supply cord (if any) does not have to be detachable from the detachable power supply part.

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. IEC shall

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 that 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.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-95: Particular requirements for drives for vertically moving garage
doors for residential use
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric drives for garage doors for residential
use that open and close in a vertical direction, the rated voltage of the drives 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. It also covers the hazards
associated with the movement of these electrically driven garage doors.
Examples of garage doors are shown in Figure 101.
The drive can be supplied with a garage door.
This standard also applies to entrapment protection devices for use with drives. It does not
cover hazards related to the mechanisms of the door itself.
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 playing with the appliance by young children, but recognizes that children can
be in the vicinity of the garage door.
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 drives
– for shutters, awnings, blinds and similar equipment (IEC 60335-2-97);
– for gates, doors and windows (IEC 60335-2-103);
– for commercial and industrial purposes;
– intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of
a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

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. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-95 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2019. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) scope includes DC-supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances (Clause 1);
c) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 7.12.1, 7.101, 20.103, 20.107,
22.104);
d) application of test probe 19 has been introduced (8.1.1, 20.2);
e) addition of surface temperatures for external accessible surfaces (11.3, 11.8);
f) requirements are added for drives intended for permanent connection delivered with a
connector to ease the installation (22.110, 24.1.101, 25.3);
g) clarification for connectors that are non-detachable once engaged (24.1.5).
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/7015/FDIS 61/7080/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/standardsdev/publications.
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.
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 drives for vertically moving
garage doors for residential use.
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

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.
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.

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 that 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.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-95: Particular requirements for drives for vertically moving garage
doors for residential use
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric drives for garage doors for residential
use that open and close in a vertical direction, the rated voltage of the drives 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. It also covers the hazards
associated with the movement of these electrically driven garage doors.
Examples of garage doors are shown in Figure 101.
The drive can be supplied with a garage door.
This standard also applies to entrapment protection devices for use with drives. It does not
cover hazards related to the mechanisms of the door itself.
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 playing with the appliance by young children, but recognizes that children can
be in the vicinity of the garage door.
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 drives
– for shutters, awnings, blinds and similar equipment (IEC 60335-2-97);
– for gates, doors and windows (IEC 60335-2-103);
– for commercial and industrial purposes;
– intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of
a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

8 Protection against access to live parts
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
8.1.1 Replacement:
The requirement of 8.1 applies for all positions of the appliance when it is operated as in normal
use.
Test probe B, test probe 18 and test probe 19 of IEC 61032 are applied with a force not
exceeding 1 N, the appliance being in every possible position. Through openings, the test probe
is applied to any depth that the probe will permit and is rotated or angled before, during and
after insertion to any position. If the opening does not allow the entry of the probe, the force on
the probe in the straight position is increased to 20 N when probe B is used or 10 N when test
probe 18 or test probe 19 are used. If the test probe then enters the opening, the test is repeated
with the probe in the angled position.
During the tests with test probe B, all detachable parts are removed except lamps. However,
during insertion or removal of lamps protection against contact with live parts of the lamp cap
shall be ensured.
During the tests with test probe 18 and test probe 19 of IEC 61032, the appliance shall be fully
assembled as in normal use without any parts removed.
Test probe 19 of IEC 61032 is not applied to parts of drives that are located at a height of more
than 850 mm above the floor in normal use.
Test probe 18 of IEC 61032 is not applied to parts of drives that according to the instructions
are required to be mounted at a height of more than 1,8 m above the floor.
It shall not be possible to touch live parts or live parts protected only by lacquer, enamel,
ordinary paper, cotton, oxide film, beads, or sealing compound except self-hardening resins,
with test probe B, test probe 18 or test probe 19, as applicable.
8.2 Addition:
Basic insulation and parts separated from live parts by basic insulation may be touched
during adjustment, if a tool is needed to gain access to the adjustment means.
9 Starting of motor-operated appliances
This clause of Part 1 is not applicable.
10 Power input and current

11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 103 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the surface in such a
way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured. The
measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.7 Replacement:
Drives for continuous operation are operated for consecutive cycles until steady conditions are
established.
Automatic drives are operated without rest periods for 3 cycles based on the maximum size
of door the drive is intended to operate or 4 min, whichever is longer.
Other drives are operated as follows:
– drives supplied without a door are operated without rest periods for a minimum of 2 min
unless the rated operating time is longer;
– drives supplied with a door are operated without rest periods for 3 cycles.
Appliance outlets accessible to the user and socket-outlets accessible to the user are loaded
with a resistive load that gives the marked outlet load.
For appliances incorporating integral batteries or separable batteries not disconnected from
the appliance for charging purposes:
– the battery that has been fully discharged is charged for 1 h, while the appliance is
operated as specified, if allowed by the construction of the appliance;
– the battery that has been fully discharged is charged, for a duration of 24 h or until it is
fully charged, whichever is shorter, without the battery-operated appliance performing its
intended function.
11.8 Modification:
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
During the test, the temperature rises are monitored continuously and shall not exceed the
values shown in Table 3 and Table 101.
