Considering the proposed massive scope extension of IEC 60335-2-114 (from self-balancing personal transport devices to PeTs) and also taking into account the latest document 125/10A/INF from IEC TC125 on the planned structure and amount of standards (17 standards in total, 16 in the IEC 63281-family, only one in the IEC 60335-family), it seems that IEC 60335-2-114 does no longer fit into the scope of IEC/TC 61.
Transfer content of IEC 60335-2-114 to a new IEC 63281-1-x standard and transfer responsibility from TC 61 to TC 125.
Not accepted. TC125 has confirmed that they are comfortable with the standard with the expanded scope remaining under TC61 at this time.

DE02
ge
The existing standard IEC 60335-2-114 Ed 1.0 is not aligned with the new IEC 60335-1 Ed 6.0. The vast majority of battery-related requirements in this part 2 is obsolete due to the new content of part 1.
Revise the complete proposal to align with the requirements of IEC 60335-1 Ed 6.0.
Noted, alignment will be made when preparing the CDV.

It should be clarified that hybrid power modes using combustion motors are not covered by the standard.
Add the following dashed item:
-devices with hybrid power mode such as Personal e-Transporters incorporating a small internal combustion motor as alternate power source.
Accepted as follows:
· devices with hybrid power mode such as Personal e-Transporters incorporating a small internal combustion motor where the internal combustion motor is the primary power source

Clarification needed: The new definition of PeTs includes persons and cargo. This could easily mislead that e. g commercial cleaning appliances (1 – 4 wheels), with or without a driver seat / platform could fall in the scope of this standard.
Add after line 26 another dashed item:
– Ride-on or walk-behind commercial floor treatment machines
Accepted to add the following dashed item.
- Ride-on or walk-behind commercial floor treatment machines (covered by 60335-2-72)
It was discussed whether it is possible to consider that electric bicycles and electric motorcycles could be covered by the standard. It was agreed that even if 2-114 can serve as guidance when testing these appliances, for the time being they are excluded from the scope.

te
To ensure that it is clear that ride-on and walk-behind commercial floor treatment machines are not included in the scope of this standard, an addition is suggested to the 4th paragraph of the Scope.
This standard does not apply to
· electric Mopeds with a seat;
· electric bicycles;
· electric motorcycles;
· devices exclusively intended for use by people with a physical disability such as electrically powered wheel chairs;
ride-on or walk-behind commercial floor treatment machines

This standard states that important mechanical and ergonomic aspects are not covered, e.g. braking requirements. It has to be noted that the revised scope covers products with an unlimited speed and mass being able to be operated on an unlimited incline.
Develop adequate requirements for brakes and cargo fixation, e.g. in cl. 20
Not accepted. The standard is not intended to cover other risks than electrical risks.
It is noted that some requirements may be included in the future standard IEC 63281 which is actually under discussion in TC 125 with reference to 125/31/CD. When IEC 63281 is published it will be referenced in 60335-2-114.

The new concept of simultaneous contact in IEC 60335-1 Annex B is sufficient. There is no need for an increase of the no-load SELV values.

Not accepted.
This allowance was discussed in detail and it was agreed that for these appliances a higher battery voltage should be allowed (as already agreed for standards under TC 125 and as already existing in standards for commercial cleaning appliances), taking into account their use. As well as the ability to harmonise with other standards committees.
See also comment 3. When aligning with the 6th edition of 60335-1 the allowance will be put in clauses B.22.3 and B.22.4, i.e. the voltage limit will be changed to 60 V. As a consequence, clause 3.4.2 will need no modification.

IEC TC 125 is developing another standard relating to Personal e-Transporters. Since both standards will have a definition for “Personal e-Transporters”, guidance should be provided on how the definitions complement each other, especially if they aren’t identical.
Add a new note to entry to further describe how the definition of “Personal e-Transporters” relates to other TC 125 standard.
Note x to entry: The definition of “Personal e-Transporter (PeT)” applies in addition to the definition in the standard xxxxx developed by TC 125.

According the proposal, the test will be conducted with the product operated at 1,15 times rated power input. This is not in line with IEC 60335-2-9 ed 6 which requires to test similar temperature limit at rated power. Products of 2-15 are similar with the products of 2-9 (heating appliances). Therefore, we see no reason to supply the products of 2-15 at 1,15 times rated power.
Delete on line 22 “and Table 101”
Add a new subclause 11.10X with the following text :
Appliances are placed as specified in 11.2 and are operated at rated power under normal operation.
During the test, the temperature rise of surfaces shall not exceed the values specified in Table 101.

FR NC welcomes this proposal as it would clarify the requirements applicable to “all-in-one kitchen appliances” (AIOKM). Nevertheless, as the 60335-2-14 standard contains requirements for each type of appliance (liquid and food blender, mixers, food processor), FR NC believes that it will be easier to include in 2-14 specific requirements for “AIOKM” based on the current requirements of this standard.
We recommend to task MT46 to work on this topic.

We do not support the proposal that introduce “all-in-one kitchen appliances” for the following reasons.
- The existing standard have requirements for “soy milk makers”, which are a kind of all-in-one kitchen appliances. The proposal will give confusion.
- It is not practical to apply the same requirements for various kinds of all-in-one kitchen appliances. Necessary requirements should be developed for each type of appliances.

Introduction
ge
The Introduction to the Standard already covers the situation where more than one Part 2 standard is applicable:
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account.
These additional statements proposed for inclusion in -2-15 do not provide any additional clarity on how to apply the applicable requirements. In addition, the proposed additions are restricted to certain types of constructions that may or may not be applicable and excludes some constructions, such as coffee makers with incorporated coffee grinders.
If needed, the requirements in -2-15 should clarify applicable requirements where use of the two standards together is not clear for known constructions without restricting other constructions and include requirements to address the influence of one function on the other.

The term all-in-one kitchen appliance is a marketing term, but not really what is being described. These appliances do not include all kitchen appliances into one appliance. They may incorporate multiple functions into a single appliance.
For example, as currently defined, a coffee maker with an incorporated coffee grinder would be an all-in-one appliance, but the additional requirements are not appropriate and seem to be contemplating something else entirely.
Instead of the defined term, the additional requirements should be applicable to a liquid heating appliance with a stirring, blending or chopping function

Should it also be tested with carrots and water (blender), sand (mixer), and dough (mixer/food processor) per -2-14?
The appliance should only be tested with the loads that most closely represent the intended kitchen machine function of the appliance. If the appliance is a blender with a heating function, it should only be tested with the load specified for a blender per -2-14.

The DKNC does not fully agree with the background provided and does not agree with the proposal.
Storage water heaters in the scope of IEC 60335-2-21 typically have capacities in excess of 5l. With increasing capacity the heat-up time increase as well and may reach several hours during which the rated current flows.
IEC 60320-1 is the relevant standard for appliance couplers (appliance inlets) and in accordance with this standard, appliance couplers (appliance inlets) the duration of the heating test is 1 h and not until steady conditions. Therefor appliance couplers may not be designed for long operating times at rated- or near-rated current and this may lead to excessive temperatures (essentially this is not known).
Additionally the earth continuity through an appliance coupler may be problematic in connection with a water heater. In 60335 the resistance in the earth circuit is measured between the part in question and the earth terminal in the appliance inlet.There is no specification to include the matching connector in the measurement.
In IEC 60320 there is also no requirement for the resistance of the earth connection. Therefor the earth resistance when using an appliance inlet and matching connector is not controlled and so may be relatively higher when an appliance inlet is used.
Considering the increased risk from wet skin and barefoot floor contact such as when showering, this may be critical.
For these reasons appliance inlets are not suitable for storage water heaters as it is proposed.

It is undesirable that such power consuming appliances are provided with an appliance inlet as with appliances connectors and inlets there is always a risk of the connector being poorly fitted into the inlet or the connector either by the user or over time.

We do not support this proposal.Storage water heaters are typically high-power appliances, energized for long periods. We have recently experienced examples of water heaters in the market provided with an appliance inlet causing a major number of fires and recalls.
In addition, we are in doubt that these appliances shall be included in 2-21 as many of these Instant Hot Water Dispensers are delivering boiling water at a temp. above 100 deg. C, but the scope of 2-21 specifies “heating water below boiling temperature”. Maybe a separate part 2 or an Annex to 2-21 could be appropriate for these appliances?

On a related subject for appliance inlets, the TC 61 Officers explained that a request has been received to provide the reasoning for why 60335-2-21 does not allow the use of appliance inlets. The Chair mentioned that he conducted some research on that rationale, also involving TC61 “historical members” and IEC CO, but nothing could be found as the introduction of such requirement goes back very far in time. It was in IECEE standards since 1988.
During the meeting, an Excel file was shared that captures the analysis being performed by the TC 61 Officers on current requirements for appliance inlets for all the Part 2 standards under TC 61.
Based on the analysis of that file, the comments in 61/6039/INF and exchange of emails with some of the “historical members”, the Chair summarized that reasons for the prohibition to use appliance inlets in some parts 2 are due to the characteristics of specific appliances, their connection to the supply and their working environment with respect to a) water penetration, b) current intensity and duration of current flow, and c) non reliability of the earthing contact. In addition, it was considered that previous editions of IEC 60320 series did not allow IP rated connectors.
The Chair will soon circulate to AG28 the results of the analysis performed on the Part 2 standards and the reasons for the prohibition to use appliance inlets in some parts 2 summarized thus far, in order to provide a response to the inquirer. The inquiry would then be confirmed during the next meeting in Copenhagen and formally traced in the relevant Minutes.
