SIST EN IEC 60335-2-82:2022/A1:2025

Overview

SIST EN IEC 60335-2-82:2022/A1:2025 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) addressing the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. Specifically, this part focuses on the particular requirements for amusement machines and personal service machines. These appliances are widely used in both domestic and commercial settings, with rated voltages not exceeding 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other appliances. The standard is applicable to equipment such as amusement machines, bowling machines, dartboards, driving simulators, gaming machines, video games, and various personal service devices including card re-value machines, currency dispensers, luggage lockers, weighing machines, and shoe shining appliances.
