1DV.1 DR Modification to add the following text to Clause 1 of the Part 2 after the second paragraph:

 

This standard covers the above-noted products that are intended to be installed or used in accordance with:

 

– CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code), Part I;

 

– NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), in the United States.

 

Battery chargers intended for charging batteries in a household end use application outside the scope of the IEC 60335 series of standards are within the scope of this standard.

 

Requirements for battery chargers for use by children at least 8 years old without supervision are given in Annex AA.

 

1DV.2 D2 Modification to replace the fourth paragraph of Clause 1 of the Part 2 with the following NOTE:

 

NOTE 101ADV Annex AA, which is a normative annex in IEC 60335-2-29, is included in this Standard as an informative annex for reference only.

 

Battery chargers not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as battery chargers intended for use in garages, shops, light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.

 

1DV.3 D2 Modification to add the following text and NOTE 101BDV to Clause 1 of the Part 2 after the fifth paragraph:

 

Battery chargers intended for use in a commercial environment are within the scope of this standard.

 

NOTE 101BDV The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of commercial environments:

 

– public use areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals;

 

– retail outlets, for example shops and supermarkets;

 

– business premises, for example offices and banks.

 

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.

 

NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that

 

– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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.

 

NOTE 102 This standard does not apply to

 

– built-in battery chargers, except those for installing in caravans and similar vehicles;

 

– battery chargers that are part of an appliance, the battery of which is not accessible to the user;

 

– battery chargers intended exclusively for industrial purposes;

 

– battery chargers intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);

– battery chargers for emergency lighting;

 

– supply units for electronic equipment;

 

– battery chargers for uninterruptable power supplies;

 

– DC distribution boards.

 

1DV.5 D2 Add NOTE 103DV to Clause 1 of the Part 2:

 

NOTE 103DV This Part 2-29 may be employed for investigation of components and sub-assemblies for the purpose of their pre-selection for use in appliances. If the component or sub-assembly used complies with this standard, the tests for the component or sub-assembly specified in the particular appliance standard in some cases will not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. Additional testing on a component or subassembly might be required. For example, if a control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests could potentially be necessary on the final appliance.

NOTE 1 Requirements for robot integration and robot applications are covered in ISO 10218-2:2025.

NOTE 2 Additional hazards can be created by robot applications (e.g. welding, laser cutting, machining). These hazards are addressed during robot application design. See ISO 10218-2:2025.

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document does not cover the hazards related to:

— severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer use, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specifications;

— when the public, all ages or non-working adults have access (e.g. service robots, consumer products).
Noise emission is generally not considered a significant hazard of the robot alone, and consequently noise is excluded from the scope of this document.
This document is not applicable to robots that are manufactured before the date of its publication.
 
This document specifies requirements for the integration of industrial robot applications and industrial robot cells. The following are addressed:

— the design, integration, commissioning, operation, maintenance, decommissioning and disposal;

— law enforcement;
— military (defence);
— airborne and space, including outer space;
— medical;
— healthcare of a person;

— service robots, which provide a service to a person and as such the public can have access;
— consumer products, as this is household use to which the public can have access;
— lifting or transporting people;
— multi-purpose lifting devices or machinery, e.g. cranes, forklift trucks.

NOTE Applications for the automation of laboratories are not considered as medical or healthcare of a person.

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the integrator.
This document provides basic requirements for industrial robot applications, but does not cover the hazards related to the following:

— emission of airborne noise;

— severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer use, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specifications;
— underground use;
— use that has hygienic requirements;
— processing of any material (e.g. food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, metal);
— use in nuclear environments;
— use in potentially explosive environments;
— mobility when robots or manipulators are integrated with driverless industrial trucks;
— mobility when robots or manipulators are integrated with mobile platforms;
— use in environments with hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation levels;
— hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
— handling loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials);
— when the public or non-working adults have access.
Emission of acoustic noise could be identified to be a significant hazard, but emission of noise is not covered in this document.
