Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-106:2025/A11:2025 is an important European standard developed by CLC (CENELEC) that specifies the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, focusing on heated carpets and heating units designed for installation under removable floor coverings. This amendment (A11:2025) updates and aligns relevant safety protocols, addressing the unique hazards associated with these appliances to ensure reliable operation and user protection in domestic environments.
The standard covers appliances with a rated voltage of up to 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other installations, including both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) supplied appliances. It supersedes the previous 2007 version, incorporating the latest safety measures and harmonized references.
