Overview

IEC 60335-2-89:2010/AMD1:2012 is an important amendment to the international standard that addresses the safety of commercial refrigerating appliances with incorporated or remote refrigerant units or compressors. Developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates specific safety tests and requirements, ensuring that commercial refrigeration products meet rigorous safety standards, particularly regarding flammable insulation gases, mechanical strength, and electrical safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.

This document is part of the broader IEC 60335 series, focusing on household and similar electrical appliances, and specifies particular requirements applicable to commercial refrigeration equipment. This amendment introduces tests 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e, 14b, 14d, 14e, and 14f-integral for verifying safety performance under various conditions.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    Covers safety requirements specific to commercial refrigerating appliances equipped with either incorporated or remote refrigerant units or compressors. It ensures appliances operate safely in different climatic classes including 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

  • Updated Testing Procedures
    Provides detailed guidelines for testing temperature rises, mechanical strength of display/storage shelves, and protection against access to live electrical parts. Key tests include uniform loading of shelves to verify mechanical integrity and electrical strength testing of supplementary insulation.

  • Flammable Insulation Gas Marking
    Emphasizes the marking requirements for components using flammable insulation blowing gases, mandating letter heights of at least 40 mm. This enhances safety by clearly indicating the presence of flammable materials.

  • Electrical Safety in Explosive Atmospheres
    Incorporates updated references to IEC 60079-15:2010 relating to equipment protection by non-sparking type “n” apparatus. The amendment specifies supplementary requirements to ensure electrical apparatus can operate safely without producing arcs, sparks, or hot surfaces that could ignite explosive environments.

  • Mechanical Strength Requirements
    Newly added clauses focus on the durability and load-bearing capacity of shelves used in beverage storage and display, ensuring these components maintain safety and functionality over time under expected weight conditions.

  • Markings and Instructions
    Outlines stringent marking requirements to communicate important safety information, including climatic class symbols and standardized warning signs such as ISO 7010 W021 for risk of fire or flammable materials.

Applications

  • Commercial Refrigeration Units
    Applies to refrigerators, freezers, and combined appliances used in supermarkets, food service, and other commercial settings with refrigeration needs.

  • Appliances Using Flammable Insulation Gases
    Supports safe implementation of environmentally friendly blowing agents, ensuring flammable gas types are appropriately marked and tested for safety compliance.

  • Facilities Operating in Hazardous Areas
    Ensures that refrigeration equipment installed in explosive atmospheres complies with non-sparking electrical apparatus requirements, vital for sectors like petrochemical plants or chemical storage facilities.

  • Quality Assurance and Product Testing Laboratories
    Provides comprehensive test methods for manufacturers and third-party testing bodies to verify product conformity with international safety standards.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60335-1 – General requirements for safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
  • IEC 60079-15:2010 – Explosive atmospheres – Equipment protection by type of protection “n” (non-sparking electrical apparatus).
  • ISO 7010:2011 – Graphical symbols – Safety colours and safety signs – Registered safety signs, adopted here for standardized hazard markings.
  • Other IEC 60335-2 series parts – Covering specific household and commercial electrical appliances safety rules.

Practical Value

Manufacturers and safety engineers rely on IEC 60335-2-89 Amendment 1 to ensure commercial refrigeration equipment is compliant with the latest safety regulations, particularly when using flammable gases and operating in sensitive environments. Incorporating these updated test methods and marking specifications enhances end-user safety, supports regulatory compliance, and helps prevent accidents related to electrical hazards and flammable substances. The amendment also facilitates global harmonization of safety standards in the refrigeration industry, supporting manufacturers in expanding market access.
