A standard called AS/NZS 60335.2.101:2002 (R2016) focuses on the security requirements for electric vaporizers used in homes and other settings. The specification is applicable to vaporizers with a maximum rated voltage of 250 V. Air fresheners and insect repellents are a couple of the devices that fall under the purview of this standard and can either be plugged directly into a socket or linked to the mains through a wire and plug.

Even if they are not designed for common household use, this standard covers gadgets that could endanger the public. Examples include commonplace appliances seen in stores, small businesses, and farms. The standard intends to address the frequent risks connected to this equipment that people may encounter inside and outside of their homes. However, it does not expressly take into account the usage of this equipment by young children who are not under adult supervision, by those who have limited mobility, or the potential misuse of the appliances by young children.

It is significant to note that appliances intended for use in automobiles, ships, or aircraft may require additional specifications. Additionally, different nations may have their own unique specifications that are imposed by regulatory entities like labor protection agencies and health authorities.

Appliances used solely for industrial reasons, those used in locations with corrosive or explosive atmospheres, those used to heat liquids, insecticides, fabric steamers, and humidifiers are also not included in the standard.
