A standard known as AS/NZS 60335.2.98:2005 (R2016) focuses on the safety standards for electric humidifiers used in homes and other similar settings. It specifically applies to humidifiers rated at up to 480 V for other appliances and 250 V for single-phase appliances. The specification covers a wide range of humidifiers, including those that atomize water, heat water to evaporation, and circulate air through a moist element.

This standard's objective is to guarantee that electric humidifiers are created and built in a way that reduces risks and hazards for users. It specifies requirements for a number of safety features, including electrical insulation, protection against electric shocks, and overheating avoidance. The standard also specifies labeling and branding requirements for humidifiers so that users may easily understand their safe operation and any potential risks.

By adhering to this guideline, producers can guarantee that the electric humidifiers they produce are risk-free for users. It provides specifications and guidelines that address potential safety concerns and act as a foundation for testing and certification.
