Overview
SIST EN 60335-2-10:2003/oprAA:2016 specifies particular safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically focusing on floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines. This European standard draft was developed by CLC/TC 61, the committee responsible for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances, and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1:2012 and its amendments.
This standard addresses key safety aspects of appliances used for floor cleaning, wet scrubbing, and similar tasks. It aims to minimize reasonably foreseeable hazards encountered during the use of these machines. The requirements cover both mechanical and electrical safety, with a prominent focus on preventing access to hazardous moving parts and ensuring robust mechanical construction.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
- Applies to appliances used in domestic environments and similar locations
- Focuses on floor treatment and wet scrubbing machines to ensure safe operation for all users
- Twinned with general requirements established in EN 60335-1
Safety Objectives
- Addresses essential safety elements for low-voltage equipment, in line with LVD 2006/95/EC directives
- Emphasizes risk mitigation for users, except for certain cases such as children playing with appliances or vulnerable users with special needs
Mechanical and Electrical Hazards
- Prevents access to hazardous rotating parts, especially if the appliance is accidentally switched on when overturned
- Mandates that rotating brushes and similar devices must be protected to prevent inadvertent contact during normal operation
- Ensures robust construction; mechanical strength tests are specified to test enclosure durability under physical impact
Supply Cords and Handles
- Requires that supply cords are not susceptible to damage when run over by the appliance
- Stipulates safe design for hinged handles weighing over 0.5 kg, requiring specific user actions (e.g., lever or release mechanism) to operate
Applications
EN 60335-2-10 is crucial for manufacturers, product designers, and compliance professionals involved with electrical floor treatment machines, including:
- Domestic floor cleaners and wet scrubbing machines
- Appliances intended for cleaning in households, small offices, or similar environments
- Products integrating rotating brushes, rollers, or similar moving elements used for wet or dry surface treatment
Adopting this standard helps companies demonstrate that their products meet the relevant European safety requirements, facilitating market access within EU member states. In addition, it provides a framework for testing and design evaluations to ensure end-user safety-key for product liability management and brand reputation.
Related Standards
- EN 60335-1: General requirements for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances
- LVD 2006/95/EC: Low Voltage Directive, setting out essential safety requirements for electrical equipment within certain voltage limits
- EN 60335-2 Series: Further parts in the series address specific requirements for other types of household electrical appliances
Practical Value
Implementing EN 60335-2-10 enhances product safety and consumer confidence for floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing appliances. It supports compliance with European legislative requirements and improves risk management throughout the product lifecycle. By adhering to these guidelines, manufacturers help reduce accidents related to mechanical and electrical hazards in the home and similar environments.
For stakeholders in electrical appliance manufacturing or distribution, following EN 60335-2-10 is a critical step for certification, CE marking, and successful product launch across Europe.
