IEC 60335-2-3:2022 deals with the safety of electric dry irons and steam irons, including those with a separate water reservoir or boiler having a capacity not exceeding 5 l, for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances, which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national authorities responsible for the safety of pressure vessels. and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– ironers (IEC 60335-2-44);
– ironing boards;
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

IEC 60335-2-108:2024 deals with the safety of electrolysers that produce low viscosity, ionized liquids intended for use as detergent free wash water in appliances for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such appliances. It applies to electrolysers tested separately, under the most severe conditions that can be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of appliances that can contain electrolysers are:
- dishwashers (IEC 60335-2-5);
- washing machines (IEC 60335-2-7);
- appliances producing wash water for hygiene purposes.
This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the electrolyser is used. However, if the electrolyser used complies with this standard, the tests for the electrolyser specified in the particular appliance standard can be unnecessary in the particular appliance or assembly. If the electrolyser control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests can be necessary on the final appliance. Guidance for additional requirements to be considered for inclusion in the end product standards for appliances that use electrolysers is given in informative Annex BB.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
- in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
