Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-108: Particular requirements for electrolysers
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electrolysers that produce low viscosity, ionized liquids intended for use as detergent free wash water in appliances for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such appliances. It applies to electrolysers tested separately, under the most severe conditions that can be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.

Overview
The standard kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-108:2025/kFprAA:2025, developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC), defines the particular safety requirements for electrolysers used in household and similar electrical appliances. This standard focuses on electrolysers that generate low viscosity, ionized liquids intended for use as detergent-free wash water, suitable for laundry and related domestic applications.
This standard applies to electrolysers tested independently under the most severe conditions expected in normal usage. It covers appliances with rated voltages up to 250 V, including direct current (DC) and battery-operated devices. The document amends the existing EN IEC 60335-2-108:2025 standard and is intended for adoption by all CENELEC members to ensure uniform safety practices across Europe.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application: Safety requirements tailored for electrolysers producing ionized liquids used in household appliances like washing machines without detergents.
- Voltage Ratings: Applicable to electrolysers with rated voltage not exceeding 250 V including DC and battery-powered types.
- Test Conditions: Electrolysers must be tested separately under the most severe realistic operating conditions to verify safety and reliability.
- European Amendments: Updates include supplements and modifications to Part 1 (EN IEC 60335-1:2023) and Part 2 (EN IEC 60335-2-108:2025) standards.
- Referenced Standards: Incorporates normative references such as IEC 60068-2-52 for environmental testing (salt mist), IEC 60079-15 for protection against explosive atmospheres, and IEC 60584-1 pertaining to thermocouples.
Applications
This standard is critical for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities involved in the design, production, and certification of:
- Household Laundry Appliances: Washing machines and similar devices using electrolyser technology to generate detergent-free wash water.
- Domestic Cleaning Devices: Any household equipment employing electrolysers for ionized liquid generation to enhance cleaning without chemicals.
- Battery-operated and Low-voltage Electrolyser Systems: Portable and DC supplied household appliances that incorporate electrolysers.
- Safety Compliance and Certification: Ensuring products meet European safety requirements for safe consumer use and market access.
Implementation of this standard helps in mitigating electrical hazards, chemical risks, and performance failures associated with electrolysers used in domestic environments, fostering user safety and product reliability.
Related Standards
For comprehensive safety and performance requirements, this standard must be considered alongside:
- EN IEC 60335-1:2023 (Household appliance general safety requirements)
- EN IEC 60335-2-5 (Particular requirements for kitchen machines)
- EN IEC 60335-2-7 (Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners)
- ISO 1817:2022 (Testing of rubber materials for chemical resistance relevant to appliance components)
- IEC 60068-2-52 (Environmental testing - salt mist corrosion resistance)
- IEC 60079-15 (Equipment protection in explosive atmospheres where applicable)
- IEC 60584-1 (Thermocouple specifications important for temperature safety functions)
