Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-54. del: Posebne zahteve za aparate za čiščenje površin s tekočinami ali paro - Dopolnilo A2
Ta mednarodni standard opisuje varnost električnih čistilnih aparatov za gospodinjsko uporabo, ki so namenjeni čiščenju površin, kot so okna, stene in prazni bazeni, z uporabo tekočih čistilnih sredstev ali pare, pri čemer njihova naznačena napetost ne presega 250 V. Zajema tudi odstranjevalce tapet. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo aparati ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne upošteva: – oseb (vključno z otroki), ki zaradi fizičnih, čutilnih ali duševnih zmožnosti ali zaradi neizkušenosti in neznanja aparata ne morejo varno uporabljati brez nadzora ali navodil; – otrok, ki se igrajo z aparatom.

Overview
SIST EN 60335-2-54:2009/A2:2022 is a European safety standard specifically focused on electrical surface-cleaning appliances for household use that employ liquids or steam, including wallpaper strippers. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard is harmonized with EN 60335-2-54:2008/A2:2021 and the international IEC 60335-2-54:2008/A2:2019.
The standard addresses the safety requirements applicable to these appliances, ensuring that they are designed and manufactured to prevent hazards when operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Appliances covered must operate at rated voltages not exceeding 250 V. This amendment (A2:2022) brings updated safety provisions in line with the latest EU directives and electrotechnical best practices.
Key Topics
- Applicability: Targets electric appliances for domestic cleaning applications, including using liquid detergents or steam as well as devices such as wallpaper strippers.
- Safety Requirements: Specifies safety measures for prevention of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and injury risks during typical use.
- Switching Mechanisms: Ensures appliances use switches designed to prevent inadvertent operation; for steam-release devices (other than steam floor-cleaners), emission must halt when the actuator is released.
- Operating Voltage: Constrains appliances covered to those operating at voltages of no more than 250 V, increasing compatibility with household electrical systems across Europe.
- Testing and Compliance: Outlines conformity assessment through specific tests, inspections, and product evaluations conducted as stipulated by the standard and related clauses.
Applications
SIST EN 60335-2-54:2009/A2:2022 is vital for manufacturers, retailers, certification bodies, and regulators involved with:
- Steam cleaners and mops for household floor, wall, or surface cleaning
- Liquid-based electric cleaning appliances (such as those dispersing cleaning solutions or detergents for household surfaces)
- Wallpaper strippers designed for domestic environments
- Product safety certification and conformity assessment activities
The standard helps manufacturers design and test products to meet recognized European safety benchmarks, thereby facilitating market access within the EU and EFTA regions. Retailers and importers can reference the standard to source compliant and safe products. Certification and testing organizations use it as the basis for evaluating and approving appliances for residential markets.
