39. IEC 60335-2-75: Particular requirements for commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines

39b. 61/6225/DC – Compilation of Comments 61/6274/INF Switzerland, Direct resistance heating unitSupplementary document from CH NC: Safety concept analysis on direct resistance heating unit (61/6226/INF)Also taking into consideration 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)74, 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)75, 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)76

The comments in 61/6274/INF were not discussed as the supplementary supporting documents 74, 75 and 76 contain a significant amount of specific technical analysis were delivered only few hours before the discussion of the Agenda item and TC 61 members attending the meeting did not have sufficient time to analyse them and verify at their National level. Instead, during the meeting the CHNC introduced the tabled documents identified above and provided further background on the basis for the draft observations provided by the CHNC and the requests for clarification from TC61 members. Therefore, when 61/6274A/INF is circulated it will not include Observations of the Secretariat and will only include the decision provided below.

DECISION: CHNC to develop a 2DC for discussion at the second plenary web meeting to be held in November 2021, considering the CH NC observations in 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)74. It was noted that the CHNC observations noted in 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)74 and the supplementary presentation in 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)76 do not reflect review by MT 23. Concerning the additional test for 22.X.2 similar to cl. 27.5 of Part 1 regarding comment 36 in document 61(2021WebSeries-I/CHNC)74 it was considered that the 2DC should not cover the tests carried out with an LCR meter which costs, in particular when suitable for


measuring at frequencies in the region of 1 MHz are quite high. The verification of compliance can be made with the other test proposed (calculation according to IEC 60287-1-1:2014 clause 2.1).

Comments Proposed change Observations of the secretariat

1 IT01 ge The Italian NC agrees with the proposal and submits the following comments.

Noted

2 CA01 - - - ge The CANC is not sure that these appliances belong in this part 2, but if it is accepted to add it here, then there is a need to update the title.

Update title:

Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 2-81: Particular requirements for foot warmers, hot water bottles and heating mats

Accepted

3 DK01 ge This is a new type of appliance not currently covered or foreseen by the existing requirements. For this reason and due to the nature of the appliance as described, such new appliance can only be added to the standard with corresponding requirements (if needed) following a risk assessment in accordance with IEC guide 116.Such assessment does not appear to have been carried out.

There also seem to be some unclarities associated with the requirements as proposed. For example, cl. I appliances are allowed but there is no description of

Delete the proposal Not accepted





(e.g. Table 1)

Type of comment


how the protective earth should be constructionally implemented. In the same way there is no indication whether live parts are allowed to be in contact with the liquid and possibly aspects of cl 22.33 need to be further taken into consideration.

The reference to standard "BS 1970" is not appropriate. In case no IEC or ISO standard exist for reference, relevant parts of the referenced standard should be included as part of the proposal instead.

Additionally, requirements for a particular type of appliance should not be in an annex but instead be incorporated throughout the standard as relevant.

4 IT02 ge/te In the proposed document the BS standards are mentioned but this is not allowed in the IEC scheme. It is better to use the text of such BS standard and change it with the equivalent text to be added in this proposal.

Accepted to remove the reference to the BS standard or include its content into the proposal itself.

5 US01 ge It would be very helpful if the proposal included a picture or drawing of the appliance and some rationale for the choice in the requirements.

Provide more detailed rationale to help in reviewing the proposal

Noted. Further rationale was provided by the AU NC delegate during the meeting.

of this type of appliance.

These heaters are likely to be used under bedding materials, clothing, or similar coverings, so normal operation should take this into account similar to electrically heated bedding of IEC 60335-2-17 where the appliance is covered with test felt to trap heat.

as specified in Annex XX.

[Annex XX should be copied over from Annex AA of -2-17]

3.1.9 Addition:electric hot water bottles are operated with the bladder connected to the cradle and placed on the floor of the test corner during heating. Note to entry: The product is removed from the cradle for functional use.

It was also agreed that throughout the 2DC the word “charging” will be replaced by “during heating.”

In addition, it was agreed to modify the definition of cradle as follows:

AZ.3.104Cradledevice that incorporates the appliance inlet for attaching the electric hot water bottle to the supply during heatingNote to entry: The hot water bottle is removed from the

cradle for functional use.

8 NL01 1-136 te Part 2-81 deals with 2 specific appliances only, that are only used for warming the feet: foot warmers and heating mats for warming the feet. Part 2-17 deals with flexible heating appliances that heat the human body in general. Furthermore part 2-17 already covers heating pads which are rather similar to electric hot water bottles.Therefore NLNC is of the opinion that this proposal should be part of part 2-17 instead of 2-81.

Delete proposal.(with the recommendation to draft new proposal as a modification / addition to part 2-17)

Not accepted

9 NL02 1-136 te If NL01 is not accepted:It does not make sense to put the requirements in an separate annex. For readability the requirements should be an integral part of the main text of part 2-81.

Delete proposal (with the recommendation to draft new proposal as a modification / addition to the main body of part 2-81)

Not accepted to delete the proposal, but the 2DC is to include the requirements in the main body of the standard.

10 NL03 1 ge If NL01 is not accepted:The title of part 2-81 should be changed to reflect the new scope of the standard.

Modify the title of part 2-81 as follows:Part 2-81: Particular requirements for electric foot warmers, heating mats and hot water bottles

See 2

11 NO02 6-136 ed In line with previous discussions regarding introduction of specific types of appliances in annexes, we propose to follow the same policy also for this proposal and instead introduce the requirements at the relevant places in the main body of the standard.

See 9

12 US02 Annex AZ te An annex is not necessary for adding a new product to the standard. These requirements should be incorporated into the body of the standard.

Relocate these requirements to the body of the standard

See 9





(e.g. Table 1)

Type of comment


13 US03 Annex AZ te If US1 is not accepted -

Based on AZ.25.1, it appears that this Annex was written to cover a battery operated appliance. According to 6.1, 3.104 and 7.1, it may be rechargeable. Use of this Annex in combination with Annex B may be rather difficult, especially since no revisions to Annex B are suggested within this annex.

A revision to 5.17 is recommended to clarify how this Annex is to be applied with Annex B.

Additional revisions may also be necessary for this annex to clarify the applicable requirements from Annex B.

1) Modify 5.17 to clarify how Annex AZ and Annex B are applied to this appliance.

Modify Annex AZ to align with the Part 1, 6th edition structure, where charging and operation when connected to the supply are covered by the main body and operation from the batteries is covered by Annex B.

Not accepted. Products covered by the proposal are not battery supplied.

14 US04 ed The AZ prefix should not be included when the Annex is referring to an existing requirement in the main body of the standard. Similar to Annex B, the AZ prefix should only be used for new subclauses in the annex.

Remove AZ prefix from subclauses referring to existing requirements in the standard and add the following at after line 11:

The clause numbers in this Annex refer to the clause numbers in the main part of this standard that are modified or not applicable. Clauses that are additional to the clauses in the main part of this standard are identified by adding the Annex letter with the numbering starting at 1.

See 9

15 NO03 17 te We do not agree to make reference to a national standard.

Delete the reference. See 4

should not be related to a Residual Current Device (RCD).

17 US06 41-46 AZ.7.1 te These items would be suitable as instructions instead of markings.

In addition, editorially, move 2nd and 3rd dash to the 2nd paragraph as these are all text of a marking/instruction and should be together with “the substance of the following”

AZ.7.12 The instructions for the appliance shall include the details of the composition of the contained liquid.

The instructions for the appliance shall include the substance of the following:

- Do not use while charging.- This appliance cannot be

refilled.WARNING: Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) while charging.

Accepted

18 CN01 52-53 AZ.11.8 te If the ambient temperature is 15 ℃, the maximum temperature is 45 + 15 = 60 ℃. If the ambient temperature is 25 ℃, the maximum temperature is 25 + 45 = 70 ℃.

It is suggested that the ambient temperature of the test should be 23 ± 2 ℃ or other suitable range in clause 5.7.

Not accepted

19 NO04 52-53 AZ.11.8 ed We assume all surfaces should be measured.

Change the text to:“The temperature rise of the bladder surface in contact with the floor of the test corner and the temperature rise of the upper any other surface of the bladder shall not exceed 45 K”

Accepted

20 US07 54-56 AZ.11.8 te The time for the 10 inversions should be specified for consistency in testing. In addition, it should be stated that each inversion includes flipping the bottle 180° and returning it to its initial position.

After heating but before measurement of the temperature, the internal fluid shall be mixed by inverting the bladder 10 times within 20 s and then allowing one minute to settle before determining temperatures of the bladder. Each inversion shall consist of turning the bladder 180° from its operating position during the test and then returning it to is original operating position.

Accepted

layer consisting of reinforced insulation or multiple layers that are considered to be reinforced insulation? There is currently nothing in the Annex that would prohibit reinforced insulation for Class II constructions of hot water bottles.

Because 16.3 is used as compliance criteria after other tests throughout the standard, it would be better if this were renumbered as 16.101 if it is not deleted as suggested.

22 NO05 67 AZ.19.4 ed This sentence can be deleted, as it is already covered by part 1.

Delete line 67. Accepted

23 US09 70 AZ.19.13 te This should be 10°C below its boiling point.

Replace “K” with “°C” Accepted

24 NO06 72-76 AZ.22.7 te The actual text must be included, to make it possible for NCs to comment.

This also raises a general question: When a NC proposes a reference to “whatever standard”, are all the members of a committee supposed to purchase this standard to be able to comment on a proposal? We are of the opinion that this information shall be provided by the proposer.

See 4

25 US10 72-76 AZ.22.7 ge Not having access to this referenced standard, there is no way to comment on this test. Reference to an IEC or ISO standard is preferred or inclusion of the test within the standard.

30 NO09 94-98 AZ.22.105 ge To understand this requirement, we propose a figure to be included.

Include a figure. Accepted

31 US13 103-106 AZ23.101 te These statements are not necessary. The first sentence adds nothing to the test. The second sentence is common lab practice to test the worst case condition. The only normative text of this paragraph is the requirement to conduct the test on 2 samples at right angles to each other. This is covered by lines114-115

Delete lines 103-106 Accepted

32 US14 111-112 AZ23.101 te It’s possible to twist an empty water bottle but more difficult to twist a filled bottle. The construction of the appliance may not allow for 360° of rotation.

Add the following to the end of this paragraph:

If the appliance construction does not allow for rotation through 360°, the rotation shall be the maximum rotation allowed by the construction of the appliance.

Accepted

33 US15 116 AZ23.101 te If the construction is understood, the appliance is only energized when placed in its cradle, so this test cannot be performed with the appliance supplied at rated voltage

35 IT04 129 AZ.25.1 te The supply cord should not be longer than 60 cm in order to make sure that the hot water bottle can be used while charging.

Addition:The supply cord shall not be longer than 60 cm.

Accepted

36 CA02 130-136 AZ.30 - ge This appears to be an abnormal test and would be better suited in clause 19.

Criteria in 19.13 would then apply, but lines 135 and 136 would need to be added as supplemental criteria.

Move the content of lines 131 to 134 to a new subclause “AZ.19.xxx”.

Move the content of lines 135 and 136 into AZ.19.13 as follows:

During the test of 19.xxx, the bladder and cover shall not ignite or deform to such an extent that live parts become accessible to test probe B of IEC 61032 applied with a force of 10 N.

Accepted. The content of lines 135-136 will be considered as an addition to the compliance criteria in 19.13.

37 NO10 130-136 AZ.30.101 ed This seems to be more likely a clause 19-test.

Move the test to clause 19. See 36

2 AU01 te Support in general, we doubt there will be any class 3 humidifiers. Re word line 4-6 in accordance 2-80

Delete line 4-6 and replace with

6.1 Addition:

Humidifiers shaped or decorated like a toy shall be class III appliances or class III construction with a working voltage not exceeding 24 V.

See 8

3 CI/ANEC 01

ge We do not support this proposal.

Humidifiers shaped like animals e.g.

do not comply with 22.44 of 60335-1 which says…

Appliances shall not have an enclosure that is shaped or decorated like a toy.NOTE 1 Examples of such enclosures are those representing animals, characters, persons or scale models.

Delete the proposal. See 14

4 DK01 ge To ensure all risks are covered DKNC would like to see a risk assessment performed according to IEC guide 116. Likewise, the proposal should also be reviewed by MT4 in the light of the particular child appealing features.

Noted. As far as the use of test probes, the approach of MT4 for 60335-2-80 was followed.





(e.g. Table 1)

Type of comment


5 NL01 ge The NLNC supports this proposal but believes some aspects have not been considered.The rational speaks only about shaped like an animal. Within the proposed requirements in 6.1 toys are indicated whereas in the other clauses the term animals is used. This should be aligned.

See 6 and 8

6 NL02 1-45 6.17.1211.8etc

te NLNC believes that the proposal should be extended to appliances shaped or decorated like a toy, instead of only shaped or decorated like an animal.

Change “an animal” into “a toy” Accepted. As a consequence, the word “animal” is replaced by “toy” throughout the text.

7 DK02 4-6 6.1 te The proposed wording is not concise. It partially refers to appliances shaped like a toy and appliances shaped like an animal. This is not quite the same. Cl. 22.44 does not allow appliances shaped like a toy and therefor cl. .61 shall also not include requirements for appliances shaped like a toy.

cl. 22.44 contain the relevant specification for what is allowed and cl. 6.1 must set the associated classification requirements and therefor the two must be closely aligned.

In line 4 delete the word toy and replace it with the word animal, so that line 4 reads:

"Humidifiers shaped or decorated like an animal shall be...."

See 6 and 8

8 NL03 4-6 6.1 te Class III appliances voltages with a rated voltage of 24 V can have internal voltages higher than 24 V, namely up to 42,4 V.

Change to:

Humidifiers shaped or decorated like a toy shall be Class III appliances or Class III construction with a working voltage of no more than 24 V.

Accepted in principle. The requirement in lines 4-6 will be moved as a constructional requirement under 22.105 with the following wording:

22.105 The part of a humidifier shaped or





(e.g. Table 1)

decorated like a toy shall be class III construction with a working voltage of no more than 24 V.

9 ZA02 4-6 6.1 te Leave the current 60335-1, clause 22.44 as it is, as this will attract kids eyes if the appliances are now allowed to be shaped and or decorated like toys

10 NO01 5, 8, 14, 26, 30, 45

Various ed Is there any reason for saying «animal”, instead of “toy”? If not, change to “toy”.

Change from “animal” to “toy” throughout the document.

See 6

11 NL04 34-39 21.101 te NLNC believes that using a sling for the drop test is not a suitable manner. Also, the height of 900 mm (working surface) is considered too high as these products are mainly used on floor level.

3 IT01 ge The Italian NC casts a positive vote but would like to submit some additional proposals to duly cover heating carpets. The general meaning of the proposed modifications is to consider heating carpets heating appliances like the ones covered by IEC 60335-2-17 and IEC 60335-2-81, from which they differentiate for the bigger dimensions. Therefore, some of the requirements in 2-17 and 2-81 have been considered in the proposed modifications as follows.

4 AU01 Forward ed In the forward, It is not clear what edition to use if the latest edition of part 1 precludes use of older part twos.

Suggest to add the following words for clarity

This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

Accepted. Refer to EG1 for editorial review.

5 FI02 51 Foreword te Products according to this draft could be used safely in Finland only if it is a Class III heating unit. This kind of product could be used under the doormat in a hall or in a caravan in Finland. In this case the product is subjected to sharp edges and objects (studs, rough sand etc.). According to our opinion, the protection against electric shock is not ensured during the whole lifetime of the heater because the mechanical strength is not sufficient.On the other hand, due to our national installation practice we do not yet have residual current devices in all such locations where this kind of heater could

Thus, we are requesting the relevant national difference due to our national installation practice.

6 DK01 ge The scope replaces the scope in the part 1. Therefore DC-supplied and battery-operated appliances are excluded from the scope. While appliances in the scope of this standard are unlikely to be battery-operated, consistency in the implementation of battery related requirements is lacking.

By omitting the wording on DC and battery-operated appliances found in part 1 scope, it seems clear that such appliances are not in scope of this part 2.

This is confirmed by the replacement in of part 1 requirements in11.7 which effectively exclude the heating test for appliances containing batteries.

However, clause 12 on charging of metal-ion batteries has been implemented

Likewise, annex B from part 1 has not been deleted.

To create consistency between scope and requirements DKNC proposes to:

Delete clause 12 and annex B in this part 2.

or alternatively:

Add DC-supplied and battery-operated appliances to the scope and relevant requirements for battery operated appliances in cl. 11.7 and, if necessary, in B.11.1

48. IEC 60335 Parts 2 61/6233/INF Great Britain, Normative References in various Parts 2 with additional comments from TC61 officers

DECISION: As no comments were received or identified during the meeting, the approach noted by the TC 61 Officers in 61/6344/INF was confirmed as follows. For sake of clarity, the approach has been to have specific definitions related to specific functions or items covered by a specific Annex in the body of that specific Annex. It was considered that this way adds clarity in reading the standard and does not contradicts the Directives. In addition, when the 6th Edition of 60335-1 was finalized the following text was introduced, e.g. in Annex B: The clause numbers in this Annex refer to the clause numbers in the main part of this standard that are modified or not applicable. Clauses that are additional to the clauses in the main part of this standard are identified by adding the Annex letter with the numbering starting at 1. The intention is to follow this example in similar Annexes in the Parts 2. It is considered that this is a good practice that helps standards readers in better understanding the structure of the standard and there is no need to change the approach taken that proved to be suitable and did not create any problem in the application of the standard.

Item Enquiry or report TC61 Comment1 Enquiry 2181 As covered under agenda item 5e on 31 May 2021, the Chair explained

that this item shall not be considered by TC 61 members as it falls under the responsibility of SC 61C.

2 a. DSH 2160 related question CTL is requested to ask TC 109 the following with regard to the second edition of 60664-1: What is the requirement when one of the values is less than x? Can one of the two be less than x provided the other one is at least x?

Concerning the application of the similar requirement according to the third edition of 60664-1, CTL is requested to ask TC 109 to clarify the meaning of the minimum creepage for the same situation, taking into account the note that was introduced after the FDIS and that seems to be under discussion in TC 109. Eventually, TC 109 should issue a corrigendum to clarify the meaning.

b. DSH 579 related question TC 61 confirms the CTL proposal that “water boiling” means that water reaches 100 °C at 1 atmosphere.

Regarding the liaison with TC 23, TC 61 Officers will contact Mr. Seiffert to determine whether he is available to serve as the TC 61 liaison representative to TC 23. If not, it was noted during the meeting that there may be an expert from the USNC that would be available to serve as the liaison representative.

Report from SC3C Liaison [ 61(2021WebSeries-I /SC3C Liaison)39 v2 ] Mr. Derek Johns provided the liaison report. The liaison report was noted and Mr. Johns thanked for his role in liaising with SC 3C on behalf of TC 61.

Report from TC 89 Liaison [ 61(2021WebSeries-I /TC89 Liaison)79] Mrs. Silvia Togni presented the report as the TC 89 Liaison. The TC 61 comments on 89/1528/CD were noted and Ms. Togni will share the compilation of comments with TC 61 once it is finalized with the observations of TC 89.


The remainder of the report was noted.

--------------------

57. Review of P-member participation Document 61/6280/INFThe participation of P members in 61/6280/INF was reviewed and noted. It was agreed no action is needed at this time.

--------------------

58. Review of the Strategic Business Plan 61/6217/DC – Compilation of Comments 61/6279/INFThe results of discussions will be recorded in 61/6279A/INF




(e.g. Table 1)

Type of comment


1 ZA01 The South African National Committee votes in favour of the review of the SBP

Noted

2 GB01 SBP-F ge TC72 title is incorrect. Correct the TC72 title to “Automatic electrical controls.”

Accepted

3 GB02 SBP-F ge The entirety of SC77A should be referenced here, not only WG8. For example, IEC 61000-3-2, prepared by SC77A WG1, refers to requirements from TC61 standards (e.g. test conditions).

Replace SC77A/WG8 and title with:“SC 77A – EMC Low frequency phenomena”

Accepted

4 GB03 SBP-F ge Some CISPR/F standards refer to TC61 standards.

Add CISPR/F to the list:“CISPR/F: Interference relating to household appliances tools, lighting equipment and similar apparatus”

Accepted





(e.g. Table 1)

Type of comment


5 AU01 I te We in principle agree with containment of fire in appliances to be specified in part two’s as additional requirements to out current clause 30 requirements, however we doubt that the solution is in 89/1528/CD.

Delete the following statement

“Develop and add repeatableand reproducible firecontainment requirements toaddress internal fire eventsof appliances of suchmagnitude that flames maypropagate from the applianceto the installation site. Thisactivity will mirror the activityperformed in the relevant IECtechnical committees.”

Accepted

6 JP01 I. 3-5 YEAR PROJECTED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES,

Row 4, Page 6

In the item beginning with “Develop and add repeatable and reproducible fire..”

te With respect to 89/1528/CD for IEC TS 60695-2-21 (Fire hazard testing - Part 2-21: Fire containment test on finished units), if it is intended to be introduced to IEC 60335-1, we want to know about the following two points.

(1) We want to know the reason and problem examples that the existing fire tests (Glow wire tests, needle-flame test, etc.), are not enough to evaluate appliances.

(2) The CD intends that enough power (max. 14 A) is supplied to the NiCr wire in order to ignite parts of connections. We want to know which TC61 intends,

- The test is also carried out in addition to the existing Glow-wire tests?

or,- The test is carried out alternatively (optionally) only when the appliance fails in the Glow-wire test?

See 5


DECISION: The SBP to be updated

--------------------

59. Any other business

59a. Update on request to IEC TC 64 on standard of the series IEC 60364 to be applied to whirlpool SPAs [61(2021WebSeries-I/Chair)02a v3]

In follow up to the initial discussion covered under agenda item 5a, Chair’s Report, the Chair obtained further updates from the officers of IEC TC 64 on the subject. As noted in 61(2021WebSeries-I/Chair)02a v3, based on the answer received from TC 64, the discussion of documents 61/5991/DC and its corresponding Compilation of Comments 61/6049/INF must be postponed to the TC61 web meeting series II in November 2021. Prior to then, TC 64/MT3 will discuss the subject on 17 September 2021 and TC 61 representatives are invited to participate in that meeting. During this meeting it was agreed that Mr. Thijs van Zanten, Mr. Adam Murdoch, and Mr. Derek Johns will attend the TC 64/MT3 meeting representing TC 61. Mr. Gargantini will request that the topic be discussed at the start of the TC 64/MT3 meeting on 17 September.

59b. Information from the NZNC on the use of halogen free cords in cord sets complying with IEC 60799 [61(2021WebSeries-I/NZNC)73 v2]

Mr. Derek Johns noted that TC 61 is identified as a committee of interest for 23G/466/CD, and after reviewing the document Mr. Johns proposed that TC 61 should provide a comment on 23G/466/CD for AMD 1 to IEC 60799 to request that SC 23G use halogen free cord types in Table 1 to AMD1 to IEC 60799. It was agreed that TC 61 should provide such comments; therefore, Mr. Johns will submit a draft comment to the TC 61 Secretary so it can be submitted to SC 23G.

In addition, Mr. Johns proposed that 25.7 of 60335-1, first paragraph, should be updated to add “for appliances having a mass not exceeding 3 kg;” at the end of the first bullet item in the last dashed item. It was agreed that there should be a weight limit also on light duty halogen free cords and this change will be made in the next Amendment.

Mr. Derek Johns expressed appreciation for the Chair’s successful operation in chairing the web meeting series and to the other TC officers for the roles.
