Comprehensive Guide to EN 60335-2-60 Safety of Electric Fans Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

EN 60335-2-60 is a European Standard (EN) that governs the safety requirements for electric fans. This standard is part of the IEC 60335 series, which provides guidelines for the safe use and installation of electrical equipment. EN 60335-2-60 specifically addresses the safety aspects of electric fans, including their design, construction, testing, and performance.

The European Union (EU) has adopted this standard as a harmonized standard under the New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization (NAT). This means that manufacturers of electric fans must comply with EN 60335-2-60 in order to market their products within the EU. The standard is also recognized by other countries, including those in North America, Asia, and Australia.

EN 60335-2-60 is based on various international standards, including:

  • IEC 60335-1:2013 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances Part 1: General requirements

  • EN ISO 13849-1:2015 Safety of machinery Safety-related parts of control systems Part 1: General principles for design Construction and validation of safety-related parts of control systems

  • EN 61000-6-4:2009 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 6-4: Generic standards Emission standard for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments

    • The standard is developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which is responsible for developing global technical standards in the field of electrical engineering.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    EN 60335-2-60 requires that electric fans meet specific safety requirements, including:

  • Protection against mechanical hazards, such as cuts and crushing

  • Protection against thermal hazards, such as overheating and fires

  • Protection against electrical hazards, such as electric shock and insulation breakdowns

  • Compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements

    • The standard also requires that manufacturers provide documentation to demonstrate compliance with the safety requirements. This includes:

  • User manuals and instructions for use

  • Technical data sheets and specifications

  • Test reports and certificates of conformity

    • Manufacturers must also ensure that their products comply with national regulations and standards, which may be more stringent than those specified in EN 60335-2-60.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    EN 60335-2-60 requires that electric fans undergo specific tests to demonstrate compliance with the safety requirements. These tests include:

  • Safety testing: Ensuring that the fan meets the safety requirements, including protection against mechanical, thermal, and electrical hazards

  • Performance testing: Verifying that the fan operates within specified limits, such as speed, noise, and vibration

  • EMC testing: Ensuring that the fan complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements

    • The standard specifies detailed test procedures for each of these tests, including:

  • Sample preparation and handling

  • Testing equipment and instruments

  • Test environment requirements (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.)

  • Measurement and analysis methods

  • Calibration and validation procedures

    • Test Reporting and Documentation

    Once the testing is complete, manufacturers must provide documentation to demonstrate compliance with EN 60335-2-60. This includes:

  • A test report that summarizes the results of each test

  • Certificates of conformity that confirm compliance with the safety requirements

  • Technical data sheets and specifications that detail the products performance and features
