CLC/TC 64/WG 22 - To be set up - Swimming pools and other basins rooms and cabins containing sauna heaters

IEC 60364-7-702:2010 applies to electrical installations of: - basins of swimming pools and paddling pools and their surrounding zones; - areas in natural waters, lakes in gravel pits and coastal and similar areas, specially intended to be occupied by persons for swimming, paddling and similar purposes, and their surrounding zones. Such areas in natural waters, lakes in gravel pits and coastal and similar areas, are considered as swimming pools; - basins of fountains and their surrounding zones. For swimming pools for medical use, special requirements may apply. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - the scope has been improved, including natural areas in natural waters; - the description of zones has been improved; - all figures have been updated.

The particular requirements of this part of EN 60364 apply to: - sauna cabins erected on site, e.g. in a location or in a room; - the room where the sauna heater is, or the sauna heating appliances are installed. In this case the whole room is considered as the sauna. They do not apply to prefabricated sauna cabins complying with a relevant equipment standard. Where facilities like cold water basins or showers, etc. are installed, the requirements of Part 7-701 also apply. The main technical changes with respect to the previous edition concern the updating of requirements to take into account the evolution in sauna equipment, with particular emphasis on prefabricated cabins. In addition, in response to a need from installers, there has been some elaboration on temperature repartition in saunas as well as protection against electric shock. Finally, the four zones described in the first edition have now been reduced to three zones.
