IS 302 : Part 2 : Sec 3 : 2024/IEC 60335-2-3 : 2022 Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 2 Particular Requirements - Section 3 Electric Irons
| ICS 13.120; 97.060 | ETD 32 |
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part2/Sec 3) (Second Revision) which is identical to IEC 60335-2-3 : 2022 'Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-3: Particular requirements for electric irons' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1992 and revised in 2007. This revision has been brought out to harmonize with the latest version of IEC 60335-2-3.
This standard covers the safety requirements of electric iron. This standard does not cover the performance requirements, which are covered under a separate standard (see IS 366 'Electrical irons').
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with IS 302 (Part 1) : 2024 'Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety: Part 1 General Requirements (seventh revision)'.
NOTE - When 'Part 1' is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IS 302 (Part 1).
This standard supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IS 302 (Part 1), so as to convert that publication into the Indian standard: Safety requirements for electric irons.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this standard, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states 'addition", "modification" or "replacement', the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTES
1 The following numbering system is used:
a) Subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
b) Unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a replaced clause or subclause; and
c) Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
2 The following print types are used:
a) Requirements: in roman type;
b) Test specifications: in italic type; and
c) Notes: in small roman type.
Should however, any deviation exist between IS 302 (Part 1) : 2024 and this standard, the provisions of the latter shall apply.
This revision includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous version (minor changes are not listed):
a) Deletion or conversion of some notes to normative text (1, 5.2, 21.101, 22.106, 24.4, 25.5, 25.14);
b) Addition of external accessible surface temperature limits (3.6.103, 11.3, 11.8);
c) Clarification of surfaces likely to be contacted when gripping a handle (22.13);
d) Clarification of the applicability of 30.2.2 and 30.2.3 (30.2);
e) Addition of direct current (d.c.) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances (1);
f) Modifications in marking and instructions (7);
g) Introduction of a new Clause 12 Charging of metal-ion batteries;
h) Addition of mechanical strength test for iron (21.102);
j) Modifications in test to ensure incorporation of adequate safeguards against the risk of excessive pressure (22.7);
k) Modifications in protective device requirements (22.107);
m) Figure of Probe for measuring surface temperatures added;
n) Figure of simulated hand added;
p) Figure of feeler gauge added;
q) Figure of application of the simulated hand in a handle with closed ends added; and
r) Figure of application of the simulated hand in a handle with an open end added.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
