NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2/Sec 59) (First Revision) which is identical to IEC 60335-2-59 : 2021 'Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-59: Particular requirements for insect killers' 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 1999. This revision has been brought out to harmonize with the latest version of IEC 60335-2-59.

This standard covers general and safety requirements of insect killers to ensure personal safety against electric shock, safety against the effects of excessive temperature and fire.

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 Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IS 302 (Part 1), so as to convert that publication into the Indian standard: Safety requirements for insect killers.

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.

NOTE 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.

NOTE 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) Addition of direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances (1);

b) Some notes have been converted to normative text (1, 23.5);

c) Addition of normative references (2);

d) Definition of effective irradiance added (3.1.101);

e) Clarification of class & protection of appliances (6);

f) Modifications in Marking & instructions (7);

g) Addition of external accessible surface temperature limits (11.3, 11.8, Table 101);

h) Introduction of a new Clause 12 Charging of metal- ion batteries;

j) Test for transient over voltages added (14);

k) Modification in construction requirements (22);

m) Modification in number of interlock switches operations and addition of Interlock switches requirements (24.1.3, 24.101);

n) Modifications in clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation (29);

o) Modification in salt mist test method (31);

p) Addition of test for appliances incorporating lamps emitting UV radiation (32, Table 102);

q) Test for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) added;

r) Figure of Probe for measuring surface temperatures added;

s) Annex on battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries for batteryoperated appliances 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 p ractice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
