IEC 60335-2-5:2025 EXV

IEC 60335-2-5:2025 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 60335-2-5:2025 EXV includes the content of the references made to IEC 60335-1:2020+AMD1:2025 CSV.

IEC 60335-2-5:2025 deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household and similar purposes that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, 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. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons 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, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– commercial electric dishwashing machines (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances intended 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).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and Amendment 1: 2018. 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) modification of some notes or conversion to normative text (Clause 1, 19.101, 20.102);
c) application of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);
d) addition of surface temperature limits (Clause 11);
e) addition of testing to evaluate leakage of the rinsing agent reservoir (22.6);
f) addition of requirements to prevent simultaneous operation of multiple loads (22.105, Annex R);
g) addition of requirements for motor running capacitors (24.5, 24.8);
h) updated detergent reference to IEC 60436 and rinse agent reference to 15.2 (15.2, 22.6, Annex AA).
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.
