Anotation

IEC 60335-2-80:2024 EXV contains both the international standard and its extended version (EXV). This extended version of the official IEC Standard is available in English only and provides the user with a comprehensive content of the Standard. IEC 60335-2-80:2024 EXV includes the content of the references made to IEC 60335-1:2020. IEC 60335-2-80:2024 deals with the safety of electric fans for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Examples of the types of fans that this standard is applicable to are - ceiling fans; - duct fans; - infant fans; - partition fans; - pedestal fans; - table fans. This standard also applies to separate controls supplied with fans. Infant fans are also tested to the applicable requirements of the ISO 8124 series, since it covers hazards other than those arising from the use of electricity such as toxicological hazards. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended for use 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 that 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 and similar authorities. This standard does not apply to - appliances intended 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); - fans incorporated in other appliances. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; b) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1); c) introduction of requirements for infant fans (7.12, 7.12.1, 8.1.1, 11.8, 20.2, 21.103, 22.44, 22.54, 22.102, B.22.3, B.22.4); d) introduction of the use of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4); e) introduction of surface temperature limits (Clause 11); f) clarification of testing of fans for use in a tropical climate (5.7, Annex P 11.8); g) clarification of requirements for remote operation of fans (22.40, 22.49, 22.51). This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
