Internet connection

3

• The current 60335-1 does not adequately address wireless and

remote communication between, and to, appliances within public

networks

• Address potential safety risks associated with remote

communication and software downloading

Internet connection

4

• Public network

any network where access to the data

and signals is not restricted

• Entity

person, device, appliance, product, or

service that interacts with an appliance

using remote communication

• Remote communication

exchange of data between the appliance

and an entity that can be initiated out of

sight of the appliance

Internet connection

5

• Remote operation

operation of an appliance via remote communication

• Remote communication that results in a change of appliance operation

is considered remote operation(e.g. change of speed/temperature)

• It is possible to have remote communication that does not lead to

remote operation.

• Remote communication through public networks shall not impair

compliance with this standard

•

Internet connection

6

• Annex XY:

Appliances intended for remote communication

through public networks

• Authentication

means for confirming that the entity sending or

receiving a message is what/who it is supposed to be

• Authorization

means to ensure that the authenticated entity

requesting access has the required authority

Internet connection

7

• If there is provision for software download, the

instructions shall include the necessary steps the

user must follow for the software update

procedure

• Software enabling communication with a public

network shall be partitioned from software which

is necessary to comply with the other

requirements of this standard

Internet connection

8

• The safe operation of an appliance shall

not depend on remote communication

• Permission for each installation of

software shall be given by the person

responsible for the appliance

• The installation of software shall not

impair compliance with the requirements

of this standard during or after installation

Batteries / battery packs

11

• IEC 62133-1:2017

Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other

non-acid electrolytes

Part 1: Nickel systems

• IEC 62133-2:2017

Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other

non-acid electrolytes

Part 2: Lithium systems

Batteries

12

• A new Annex B for batteries, replacing the current Annex B and S

• Battery-operated appliances with non-rechargeable batteries

• Battery-operated appliances with rechargeable batteries, recharged

or not recharged in the appliance:

- separable

- detachable

- integral

• Battery voltage or charging input voltage not more than 120V d.c.

Batteries

13

Instructions:

• The types of batteries used

• The recommended temperature range for charging

• Details regarding safe disposal of used batteries

• Warning against exposing the appliance or battery to excessive temperatures

Batteries

14

• Batteries shall not attain excessive temperatures in normal

use

• For each cell

– the upper limit of charging voltage

– the maximum charging current

– the surface temperature for each cell

shall not exceed that specified by the cell manufacturer

Batteries

15

• Lithium-ion battery, the charging system and battery

designed so that the risk of fire/explosion is avoided

•

- components in the charging system are faulted

- fully discharged battery, one cell fully charged

- charged battery, one cell fully discharged

Batteries

16

• Alkaline or other non-acid based electrolyte cells:

- IEC 62133-1:2017 for nickel systems

- IEC 62133-2:2017 for lithium systems

• Batteries/battery packs are not required to comply with IEC 62133-1 or IEC

62133-2. They are tested as part of the appliance according to this standard

• No battery in the area for the consequential needle flame test in clause 30,

unless the battery is shielded by a barrier that

- meets the needle flame test, or

- is made of V-0 or V-1 material

Batteries

17

Appliance outlets / socket outlets

18

• Outlet load

Allowed load that may be connected to the

outlet (W or A), max 16A

• Contribution to the power input / current input =

marked outlet load per outlet

• Heating tests: Outlets loaded as marked

Appliance-/socket outlets

19

• Outlets protected by a protection devices,

current rating not exceeding the current rating of the outlet:

- a circuit breaker for equipment

- a manually resettable overcurrent protection device

- a non-user replaceable fuse-link

Appliance-/socket outlets

Lamps and lamp systems

• IEC 62471:2006

Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp

systems

21

24.1.10

Lamps and lamp systems that have not been previously tested and found to

comply with the exempt group classification are tested as a part of the appliance.

EGC: any lamp that does not pose

Lamps and lamp systems

22

The following components are considered to comply with the exempt group

classification:

- visible light indicators

- infrared sources used for signaling or communication

- seven-segment indicators

- liquid-crystal displays

- organic LED displays (OLED)

- plasma displays

Lamps and lamp systems

23

32.1

If no limits or tests are specified in Part 2, the appliance is tested as follows, unless its

lamps and lamp systems comply with 24.1.10.

- Radiation assessment is performed at or recalculated to 200 mm distance or at the

fixed use distance indicated in the instructions for use

-- The measurement shall show that the appliance complies with the exempt group

classification of IEC 62471

• Particle foam material

- closed cell material moulded from non-

metallic particles (E/P-E, PP-E)

26

Discussions:

• Mechanical strength

• Contact with live parts / earthed parts

• Resistance to heat and fire;

a significant mass of particle foam material,

adding load to a fire in case of ignition

Particle foam material

27

Result:

• Maintenance team in IEC TC 61 to

evaluate the material, considering the

involvement of TC 89

• NOT introduced in 60335-1

• Parts 2: 60335-2-2, 60335-2-21 and

60335-2-51

28

• 3.3.6 Protective impedance

Impedance connected between live parts and

accessible conductive parts of cl. II constructions.

• 22.42

Protective impedance shall consist of at least two

separate components.

29

Proposal:

• Shall consist of

- at least two separate components, or

- a single class Y1 capacitor

• Single Y1 not permitted in

- appliances that make contact with the skin, or

- appliances where water makes contact with skin(massage appliances, blankets, warming mats, whirlpool baths …)

• Result: Not accepted.
