The International Electrotechnical Commission released the third edition of IEC 60335-2-98, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 2: Special requirements for humidifiers.
In December 2023, the International Electrotechnical Commission released the third edition of IEC 60335-2-98, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 2: Special requirements for humidifiers.
The newly released 3rd edition of IEC 60335-2-98:2023 will be used in conjunction with the 6th edition of IEC 60335-1:2020.
The main changes to this standard are as follows:
1、This standard specifies that DC power supply appliances and battery working appliances are within the scope of application.
2、Updated normative reference files and related texts.
3、The manual has added the following requirements:
For humidifiers with shapes or decorations resembling toys, the manual should include:
This is not a toy This is an electrical appliance and must be operated and maintained by an adult In addition to the water to be vaporized, only any additional liquids advised by the manufacturer for cleaning or fragmentation shall be used
The instruction manual should include:
Mount this product more than 850 mm from the floor
4、Introduced the application of test probes Probe 18 and Probe 19 in electric shock protection and protection of moving parts.
5、Added testing methods and temperature rise limit requirements for externally accessible surfaces of instruments.
6、Add requirements for drop testing of functional components for humidifiers with shapes or decorations resembling toys.
7、Added size specifications for drainage holes set up to meet standard requirements. If not met, they will be considered blocked.
8、Clarified the requirements for remote operation of humidifiers.
9、Humidifiers that meet the relevant conditions specified in the standards have been added, and their appearance or decoration can resemble toys (see CL22.44, CL22.105).
10、For humidifiers that resemble toys in appearance or decoration, it is clear that button batteries or R1 type batteries are not accessible without tools.
Suggestion:
The standard update, as mentioned in point 4 above, introduces the application of Test Probe 18 and Probe 19 in electric shock protection and protection of moving parts. Test Probe 18 simulates children aged 36 months to 14 years old, while Test Probe 19 simulates children under 36 months old. This will directly affect the design and production of product structure. Intertek suggests that manufacturers consider the content of this standard update as early as possible in the product design and development stage, and prepare in advance to meet market requirements.
