Overview

EN 60335-2-45:2002/A2:2012 (CENELEC) is a European amendment to the safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - Part 2‑45: Particular requirements for portable heating tools and similar appliances. This amendment (A2) aligns the EN text with IEC 60335-2-45:2002/A2:2011 and introduces specific provisions for induction soldering irons and other portable heating tools. It clarifies definitions, test methods and abnormal‑operation requirements to ensure electrical and thermal safety in portable heating tools used in domestic and professional environments.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • New definitions: Introduces the term induction soldering iron - a soldering iron that heats the tip by high‑frequency induction eddy currents.
  • Heating tests: Adds guidance on temperature‑rise measurement. If the induction magnetic field affects readings, temperature can be measured using a platinum resistance with twisted connecting wires or an equivalent method.
  • Leakage current & dielectric strength: Appliances supplied by a transformer and induction soldering irons are to be tested as motor‑operated appliances for leakage current and dielectric strength (operating temperature and cold tests).
  • Abnormal operation: Specifies that temperature rise of windings in induction soldering irons must not exceed the values referenced in clause 19.7, and that the electric strength test must be performed immediately after switching off the appliance.
  • Scope and harmonization: Confirms endorsement by CENELEC members and harmonization with IEC work (IEC/TC 61). National adoption and withdrawal dates are stipulated in the foreword.

Practical applications

  • Ensures safe design and testing of portable heating tools such as soldering irons, soldering guns, induction soldering irons, heat guns, and similar appliances intended for household and light‑professional use.
  • Provides manufacturers and test laboratories with clear methods to verify temperature rise, dielectric strength, and leakage current under normal and abnormal conditions.
  • Supports conformity assessment for CE marking and for national implementation by CENELEC members.

Who should use this standard

  • Product designers and manufacturers of portable heating and soldering tools
  • Third‑party testing and certification laboratories
  • Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment organizations
  • Safety engineers and quality assurance teams working on household electrical appliance compliance

Related standards

  • IEC 60335-2-45 and other parts of the IEC 60335 series (general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances)
  • CENELEC adoption documents and national implementations of EN 60335 series

Keywords: EN 60335-2-45, induction soldering iron, portable heating tools, electrical safety, dielectric strength, leakage current, temperature rise, CENELEC, IEC 60335.
