Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-105. del: Posebne zahteve za večnamenske kabine za prhanje - Dopolnilo A11
Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost električnih večnamenskih kabin za prhanje in električnih ločenih večnamenskih enot za prhanje za gospodinjsko uporabo in podobne namene, pri čemer njihova nazivna napetost ni večja od 250 V za enofazne aparate in 480 V za druge aparate.
Na področje uporabe tega standarda spadajo aparati, ki niso namenjeni za običajno gospodinjsko uporabo, vendar so lahko vir nevarnosti za javnost, kot so aparati, namenjeni za laično uporabo v hotelih, centrih za telesno vadbo in na podobnih lokacijah.
Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo aparati ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov:
– oseb (tudi otrok), ki zaradi
fizičnih, senzoričnih ali umskih sposobnosti oziroma
pomanjkanja izkušenj in znanja
ne morejo varno uporabljati aparata brez nadzora ali navodil;
– otrok, ki se igrajo z aparatom.
OPOMBA 101: Opozoriti je treba, da:
– so za aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v vozilih ali na krovu ladij ali letal, morda potrebne dodatne zahteve;
– v številnih državah nacionalni zdravstveni organi, nacionalni organi za oskrbo z vodo, nacionalni organi, odgovorni za varstvo pri delu, ter drugi podobni organi določajo dodatne zahteve;
– so lahko v številnih državah lastnosti mehanske trdnosti, odpornosti na udarce in lomljivosti zaslonov za prhanje zajete v nacionalnih predpisih.
OPOMBA 102: Če aparat vključuje del, ki spada na področje uporabe standarda IEC 60065, IEC 60598 ali IEC 60950, je treba zadevni del preskusiti v skladu z ustreznim standardom, če je to primerno.
OPOMBA 103: Ta standard se ne uporablja za:
– pretočne grelnike vode za uporabo pri prhanju (IEC 60335-2-35);
– črpalke za prhanje (IEC 60335-2-41);
– aparate za medicinske namene;
– aparate, ki so namenjeni za uporabo na lokacijah, kjer veljajo posebne razmere, kot je prisotnost korozivne ali eksplozivne atmosfere (prah, hlapi ali plin).

Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-105:2021/A11:2021 is a European standard that sets out the particular safety requirements for electric multifunctional shower cabinets and separate multifunctional shower units intended for household and similar purposes. Developed and maintained by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) through CLC/TC 61, this amendment (A11:2021) supplements and updates the main standard to align with evolving regulatory and safety needs. It covers appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V for single-phase equipment and up to 480 V for other appliances.
This standard plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of electrical equipment installed in domestic environments, particularly where water and electricity are combined, creating specific risks. It provides a harmonized approach for manufacturers and conformity assessment bodies in the context of essential safety objectives as outlined in relevant EU legislation, especially the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU).
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability:
Defines which multifunctional shower cabinets and units are covered, focusing on their use in household and similar environments. Devices intended for industrial use or those with voltages beyond indicated limits fall outside the scope.Safety Objectives:
Addresses key safety objectives, consistent with the Low Voltage Directive, to minimize electrical, mechanical, and thermal hazards for end users.User Considerations:
The standard emphasizes risks commonly encountered by general users, but specifically excludes scenarios involving unsupervised use or maintenance by children, or use by very young or vulnerable individuals.Integration with European Legislation:
Demonstrates the standard’s relationship with EU directives, notably confirming how compliance provides a presumption of conformity with essential regulatory safety objectives.References to Supporting Standards:
Incorporates and aligns with foundational standards like EN 60335-1 (general safety for household appliances), and safety norms for protective enclosures (e.g., IEC 60529 for IP Codes).
Applications
EN IEC 60335-2-105:2021/A11:2021 is relevant for:
Manufacturers:
Assists design and production of electric multifunctional shower cabinets to meet harmonized European safety requirements, addressing hazards due to electricity and water proximity.Conformity Assessment Bodies:
Used as a reference point for certification and conformity procedures to verify compliance with EU directives, ensuring products can be marketed across the European Economic Area.Product Designers and Engineers:
Guides the development and testing of shower units and cabinets intended for installation in domestic and similar environments, ensuring appropriate protective measures and compliance.National Regulators:
Provides a harmonized legal benchmark, simplifying market surveillance and enforcement activities.
The application of this standard enables stakeholders to ensure their products are compliant with the latest safety expectations, reducing risk of electric shock, overheating, and other hazards associated with electric shower systems.
