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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

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.

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 may 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.
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.
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.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente Norme internationale que l'exécution de ses

dispositions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification

appropriée.
Cette norme reconnaît le niveau de protection internationalement accepté contre les risques

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.

Cette norme tient compte autant que possible des exigences de la CEI 60364, de façon à
rester compatible avec les règles d'installation quand l’appareil est raccordé au réseau
d’alimentation. Cependant, des règles nationales d'installation peuvent être différentes.
Si un appareil compris dans le domaine d’application de cette norme comporte également des
fonctions qui sont couvertes par une autre partie 2 de la CEI 60335, la partie 2
correspondante est appliquée à chaque fonction séparément, dans la limite du raisonnable. Si
cela est applicable, on tient compte de l’influence d’une fonction sur les autres fonctions.
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.
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 cette norme peut être examiné et essayé 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 norme.

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.

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.

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 may 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.
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.
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.

les sorbetières et les fabriques de glace

1 Domaine d'application
L'article de la Partie 1 est remplacé par l’article ci-après.
La présente Norme internationale traite de la sécurité des appareils suivants, leur tension
assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés, à 480 V pour les
autres appareils et à 24 V courant continu pour les appareils alimentés par batteries:
– appareils de réfrigération pour usages domestiques et analogues;
– fabriques de glace comportant un motocompresseur et fabriques de glace pouvant être
incorporées dans des compartiments de stockage des denrées congelées;
– appareils de réfrigération et fabriques de glace à usage de loisir pour le camping, le
caravaning ou le bateau.
Ces appareils peuvent être alimentés par le secteur, par une batterie séparée, ou être
alimentés à la fois par secteur ou batterie.
La présente norme traite également de la sécurité des sorbetières à usage domestique, leur
tension assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V
pour les autres appareils.
Elle traite également des appareils à compression pour usage électrodomestique et
analogue, qui utilisent des fluides frigorigènes inflammables.
La présente norme ne traite pas des caractéristiques de construction et de fonctionnement
d’appareils de réfrigération qui font l'objet de normes ISO.
Les appareils qui ne sont pas destinés à des usages domestiques normaux, 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 les magasins, chez les artisans et dans les
fermes, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme.

Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des risques ordinaires présentés par les
appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l’intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant,
elle ne tient en général pas compte
– de l'utilisation des appareils par des jeunes enfants ou des personnes handicapées sans
surveillance;
– de l’emploi de l’appareil comme jouet par des jeunes enfants.
NOTE 1 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 publique, les organismes nationaux pour la protection des travailleurs et les organismes nationaux pour
le transport.

SAFETY –
Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances,

ice-cream appliances and ice-makers

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard 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 d.c. 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;
– refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for use in camping, touring caravans and boats
for leisure purposes.
These appliances may be operated from the mains, from a separate battery or operated either
from the mains or from a separate battery.
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 ISO standards.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen 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
– the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
– playing with the appliance by young children.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national
authorities responsible for the protection of labour and the national authorities responsible for transportation.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by subcommittee 61C:

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente Norme internationale que l'exécution de ses

dispositions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification

appropriée.
Cette norme reconnaît le niveau de protection internationalement accepté contre les risques

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

prend en considération les phénomènes électromagnétiques qui peuvent affecter le

fonctionnement en toute sécurité des appareils.
Cette norme tient compte autant que possible des exigences de la CEI 60364, de façon à
rester compatible avec les règles d'installation quand l’appareil est raccordé au réseau
d’alimentation. Cependant, des règles nationales d'installation peuvent être différentes.
Si un appareil compris dans le domaine d’application de cette norme comporte également des
fonctions qui sont couvertes par une autre partie 2 de la CEI 60335, la partie 2
correspondante est appliquée à chaque fonction séparément, dans la limite du raisonnable. Si
cela est applicable, on tient compte de l’influence d’une fonction sur les autres fonctions.
Lorsqu’une partie 2 ne comporte pas d’exigences complémentaires pour couvrir les risques
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 normes horizontales et génériques couvrant un risque ne sont pas applicables parce qu’elles ont été
prises en considération lorsque les exigences générales et particulières ont été étudiées pour la série de normes
CEI 60335. Par exemple, dans le cas des exigences de température de surface pour de nombreux appareils, des
normes génériques, comme l’ISO 13732-1 pour les surfaces chaudes, ne sont pas applicables en plus de la
Partie 1 ou des parties 2.
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 cette norme peut être examiné et essayé 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 norme.

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.

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 may 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 and generic standards 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. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 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.

Partie 2-24: Règles particulières pour les appareils de réfrigération,

les sorbetières et les fabriques de glace

1 Domaine d'application
L'article de la Partie 1 est remplacé par l’article ci-après.
La présente Norme internationale traite de la sécurité des appareils suivants, leur tension
assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés, à 480 V pour les
autres appareils et à 24 V courant continu pour les appareils alimentés par batteries:
– appareils de réfrigération pour usages domestiques et analogues;
– fabriques de glace comportant un motocompresseur et fabriques de glace pouvant être
incorporées dans des compartiments de stockage des denrées congelées;
– appareils de réfrigération et fabriques de glace à usage de loisir pour le camping, le
caravaning ou le bateau.
Ces appareils peuvent être alimentés par le secteur, par une batterie séparée, ou être
alimentés à la fois par secteur ou batterie.
La présente norme traite également de la sécurité des sorbetières à usage domestique, leur
tension assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V
pour les autres appareils.
Elle traite également des appareils à compression pour usage électrodomestique et
analogue, qui utilisent des fluides frigorigènes inflammables.
La présente norme ne traite pas des caractéristiques de construction et de fonctionnement
d’appareils de réfrigération qui font l'objet de normes ISO.
Les appareils qui ne sont pas destinés à des usages domestiques normaux, 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 les magasins, chez les artisans et dans les
fermes, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme.

Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des risques ordinaires présentés par les
appareils, encourus par tous les individus 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;
– de l’utilisation de l’appareil comme jouet par des enfants.
NOTE 1 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.

SAFETY –
Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances,

ice-cream appliances and ice-makers

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard 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 d.c. 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;
– refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for use in camping, touring caravans and boats
for leisure purposes.
These appliances may be operated from the mains, from a separate battery or operated either
from the mains or from a separate battery.
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 ISO standards.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen 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.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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.
