Consolidated version

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-11: Particular requirements for tumble dryers

The principal changes in this edition as compared with the sixth edition of IEC 60335-2-11 are
as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– aligns the text with IEC 60335-1, Ed 4, and its Amendments 1 and 2;
– some notes have been converted to normative text (7.101, 11.8, 20.102, 20.103 and
Annex AA).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for electric tumble dryers.
NOTE 2 The following annexes contain provisions suitably modified from other IEC standards:
Annex AA Rinsing agent IEC 60436
Annex BB Tumble dryers that use a refrigerating system incorporating sealed
motor-compressors for carrying out the drying process
IEC 60068-2-6 and
IEC 60079-15
Annex CC Non-sparking “n” electrical apparatus
Equipment protection by type of protection "n"
IEC 60079-15
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, 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 3 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– 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;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 4 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the
associated noun are also in bold.
NOTE 5 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
