AS/NZS 60335.2.24:2003 PDF Download

A standard called AS/NZS 60335.2.24:2003 focuses on the safety standards for certain home and similar electrical appliances. The equipment covered by this standard includes ice machines, refrigerators, and ice cream makers for home use. These appliances can run off of individual batteries, mains power, or a combination of the two.

The safety criteria for compression-type equipment using flammable refrigerants are also covered by the standard. It is crucial to remember that while this standard applies to appliances used in homes, it also covers those used in businesses, such as farms and light industries, that could endanger the public.

The guideline does not, however, address specific issues like young children playing with the device or elderly people using it alone or without supervision. Appliances made specifically for industrial use, those meant for outdoor use, and those used in environments with unique characteristics such as the presence of explosive or corrosive atmospheres are also exempt from this rule.

It is important to note that there can be additional regulations for appliances used in automobiles, ships, or aircraft. Additional regulations may be established by national health authorities, authorities in charge of labor protection, and authorities in charge of transportation in various nations.
