Household Appliance Standard DIN EN/IEC 60335-1
What is the household appli-
ance standard all about?
The household appliance standard DIN
EN/IEC 60335-1:2007-02 standardizes the
safety features of electrical appliances for
household use and similar purposes .
The standard requires testing of glow wire
resistance for non-metallic materials used
in appliances operated with >0,2 A and
applies for non-metallic materials which
hold active components in position .
These fire protection requirements shall
prevent self-ignition of unattended applian-
ces thus significantly increasing fire safety.
For which appliances does
this standard apply?
The standard is applicable for electric
and electronic components in unattended
household appliances with rated currents
of >0,2 A, such as
terminals and switches, e .g . in:
• Dishwashers, washing machines, refri
-
gerators
• Kitchen stoves, microwaves
• Small household appliances, such as
mixers, coffee machines
Unattended equipment used in small and
medium-sized enterprises is also affected,
namely:
• Pump components
• Illuminant components
• Industrial and commercial cleaning
equipment
• Hair salon equipment etc.
WECO products are compli-
ant with the glow-wire tests
according to the household
appliance standard!
For the white goods market segment,
WECO Contact GmbH offers an extensive
range of products meeting the require-
ments of the Household Appliance Stan-
dard DIN EN/IEC 60335-1 . Even before
the transition period expired in July 2007,
many WECO products had already been
compliant with the tightened household
appliance standard, providing WECO Con-
tact with an enormous edge over competi-
tors, particularly over those in Asia .
The materials used for enclosures are
VDE-tested and approved according to
the glow-wire tests specified in DIN EN/
IEC 60335-1 . This applies for all standard
WECO colors!
PRODUCTS:
• All products of the connections for
printed circuit boards with the exception
of large-pole articles of the series 95 . .,
96.. and 97.. as well as SMD and THR
products .
• Series 326 and 327
• Other products: Producibility must
verified for each product
We designate products compliant with this
tightened household appliance standard,
if a specific variant compatible to the
household appliance standard is available:
• PART NUMBER:
The existing 8-digit article number will
be continued and supplemented by
„EN6“.
• DESIGNATION:
The existing designation will be
continued. A „6“ will be placed before
„GP“ resulting in „6GP“.
Are you affected?
Even today, long after the tightened
Household Appliance Standard DIN EN/
IEC 60335-1 entered into force, many
questions still arise and need clarification.
Even equipment manufacturers affected by
this household appliance standard often
are unaware of the standard’s requirements
and only find out that they ARE AFFEC
-
TED, when they submit their products at
VDE and are denied approval because
products do not meet the currently valid
standards .
We at WECO Contact take technical
support and service for our customers
seriously
. Therefore, we have compiled on
our website a list of all manufacturer pro-
ducts affected by the household appliance
standard . At a glance, our customers can
now gather information on whether their
appliances are affected or not .
The list is also a valuable tool for both
sales staff and field reps, helping them to
resolve possible unclear issues in project
meetings, and enabling them to optimally
support the customer
.
