Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Particular requirements for commercial electric washing machines
This European Standard deals with the safety of electrical operated washing machines intended to be used by trained users in e.g. hotels, hospitals, factories, in light industry and on farms. It also covers washing machines declared for commercial use in public areas and operated by lay persons e.g. in laundrettes, communal laundry rooms. Their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single phase and 480 V for others.

controls being placed in the on position. The controls are then operated through their working range,
this operation being repeated after a period of 5 min.
For appliances having a working surface, the test is repeated with the appliance tilted at an angle of 2°
in relation to the position of normal use in the direction which is likely to be the most unfavourable.
The lid of top loading appliances is considered as a working surface if it is flat enough to put something
on.
15.101 In the paragraph starting with “The appliance is operated.”, replace the paragraph with the
following:
The appliance is operated under the conditions specified in Clause 11 but at rated voltage for one
complete cycle with the programme that results in the longest period of operation. A quantity

7 Modification to Clause 19, “Abnormal operation”
19.9 Replace the text with the following as an addition:
The running overload test is carried out on appliances that have overload protective devices
incorporating electronic circuits to protect the windings of the drum motor. However, the test is not
carried out if the protective device senses the winding temperature directly.
NOTE 101 Measuring winding resistance or winding current is not directly measuring the winding temperature.
The appliance is operated under the conditions of Clause 11 for one cycle. The load is then increased
so that the current through the motor windings is raised by 10 %. The appliance is operated again for
the same cycle, the supply voltage being maintained at its original value. The load is again increased
and the test is repeated until the protective device incorporating the electronic circuit operates or the
motor stalls.

g) the steam generator is operating without water
8 Modification to Clause 20, “Stability and mechanical hazards”

If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the test is repeated with the fault conditions
in a) to g) of 19.11.2 applied one at a time to the electronic circuit.
20.104 Add after the paragraph starting with “The appliance is supplied…” the following:
If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the test is repeated under the following
conditions applied separately:
— the fault conditions in a) to g) of 19.11.2 applied one at a time to the electronic circuit;
— the electromagnetic phenomena tests of 19.11.4.2 and 19.11.4.5 applied to the appliance.
If the electronic circuit is programmable, the software shall contain measures to control the fault/error
conditions specified in Table R.1 and is evaluated in accordance with the relevant requirements of
Annex R.
20.105 Add the following at the end:
If compliance relies on the operation of an electronic circuit, the test is repeated under the following
conditions applied separately:
— the fault conditions in a) to g) of 19.11.2 are applied one at a time to the electronic circuit;
— the electromagnetic phenomena tests of 19.11.4.2 and 19.
