–fans used to ventilate a household cooking area.
[Add the following paragraph]
This Standard covers the above-noted products that are intended to be installed or used in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
IEC Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 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.
IEC 62841-1:2014, Clause 1, is applicable, except as follows.
Replacement of the third paragraph:
The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. machines, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. machines.
Addition:
This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with an integral electric motor, with or without vacuum assisted collection, which are designed to reduce organic material to smaller pieces and are used in a stationary position by an operator standing on the ground. This document applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings or feed safety openings that in total will fit into a square of 250 mm × 250 mm.
NOTE 101 The requirements for the measurement of the square of 250 mm × 250 mm are specified in 19.101.1.
In this document, shredders/chippers are referred to collectively as machine(s).
This document does not cover requirements for
– machines powered by combustion engines; or
– machines driven by an external power source; or
– machines with powered discharge intended to broadcast material or load vehicles; or
– machines with mechanically powered feed intake or attachments; or
– wood chippers for forestry, agriculture, horticulture and landscaping
